Tax, a dollar-pegged currency, stability and demand: what makes the UAE a different kind of property market.
Districts and yields
From Saadiyat to Al Reef, from Yas to Al Hudayriyat: who buys where, at what prices, and with what rental yields.
Buying from Italy
Freehold ownership for foreigners, purchase costs, mortgages for non-residents, the Golden Visa, and what to consider for Italian tax.

Why the UAE
The case we are bringing to Rome.
Freehold for foreign buyers
In Abu Dhabi’s 50 investment zones, foreign buyers can own property outright.
No income tax in the UAE
The UAE levies no personal income tax or capital gains tax on individuals. Italian residents keep their Italian tax obligations, which we will cover in detail.
A currency pegged to the dollar
The dirham has been fixed to the US dollar since 1997: one less currency risk for buyers who think in euros or dollars.
A possible route to residency
Property worth at least AED 2 million can make the owner eligible for the ten-year Golden Visa, subject to approval by the federal authorities.
