Bullet-Point Property: Dubai No. 72

A property that sells for under AED 500k (£100K) and you can expect very small units or inferior quality therefore tough to find a tenant or future buyer but receives a high rental yield.

Property over AED 1.5m (£300k) and you have more luxury in a central location which receives a good demand from buyers and tenants but a lower rental yield.

The sweet spot and focus for investors looking for above-average rental yield combined with quality in Dubai needs to be properties priced between AED 500k and AED 1.5m (GB£ 100k to £300k).

Yes, this is a high-level viewpoint, and I am not suggesting that you base your purchasing decision for a "Buy to Let" solely on the above statements.

Do your research and also speak with an independent and experienced real estate agent to understand the unique valuation dynamics that are applicable in this market.
