Your UK Property
is Taxed. Your Dubai
Property Doesn't
Have to Be.

Stamp duty. Council tax. Income tax on rental earnings. Capital gains tax on sale. UK property is one of the world's most taxed asset classes. Dubai offers 0% on all of these — with yields of 9-11%, 100% foreign ownership, and no inheritance tax on property.

Why UK Investors Are
Moving Capital to Dubai

Six reasons British investors are allocating more to UAE real estate.

0% vs 45% — The Tax Gap

UK higher-rate taxpayers pay up to 45% income tax on rental income and 28% CGT on residential property gains. Dubai: 0% on both. The arithmetic is stark.

No Inheritance Tax on Dubai Property

UK inheritance tax at 40% above the threshold can devastate property portfolios. Dubai property held in a structure has no comparable inheritance tax liability.

London Yields vs Dubai Yields

Prime London residential yields: 2.5–3.5%. Dubai Marina, Downtown, JVC: 9-11% gross. The difference compounds dramatically over a 10-year hold.

GBP–AED Stability

The AED is USD-pegged, providing relatively predictable exchange dynamics for GBP investors — especially versus EUR or emerging market alternatives.

Golden Visa — UAE Residency

Properties above AED 2M (approx. £430K) qualify for UAE Golden Visa — 10-year renewable UAE residency for the investor and family members.

Portfolio Diversification

Reduce concentration risk in UK-only portfolios. Dubai's economy is structurally different — driven by tourism, global trade, and tech investment, not UK mortgage rates.

What Our UK Investors Say

After Section 24 changes wiped out the profitability of my London buy-to-lets, I needed an alternative. Mirus showed me the complete net yield picture for Dubai, including how I'd report it to HMRC. I invested in a 1BR in Business Bay — 8.1% gross yield, zero tax at source. It's the best performing asset in my portfolio now.

Robert C.

London, UK — 1BR Business Bay, AED 1.4M, 8.1% yield

"I'd been sitting on capital after selling a buy-to-let — didn't want to reinvest into the UK market given where things are heading with tax. A friend mentioned Mirus. One video call, GMT hours, no pressure. They walked me through the HMRC reporting side clearly, no fluff. What surprised me most was how well they understood the UK landlord's frustration — they weren't just selling Dubai, they were genuinely solving a real problem I had."

"As someone who'd never bought outside the UK, the idea of wiring money to Dubai felt risky. Mirus addressed that in the first call — DLD escrow, developer track record, the lot. Every follow-up was prompt, every question answered in writing. Three virtual meetings and the investment was done. I wished UK transactions were this straightforward, frankly."

Questions UK Investors Ask Us

Absolutely. UK residents can freely purchase freehold property in Dubai's designated zones. The UK has no restrictions on purchasing overseas property. You will need to declare rental income and eventual capital gains to HMRC, but ownership itself is completely unrestricted.
Dubai rental income must be declared on your UK self-assessment tax return as foreign property income. Because Dubai charges 0% tax at source, there is no double taxation treaty relief to claim — you simply pay UK income tax on the net rental profit. We provide full income documentation, expense breakdowns, and can connect you with UK accountants experienced in foreign property income.
Direct residential property investment through a SIPP is not permitted under HMRC rules. However, some alternative structures using commercial property or REITs with Dubai exposure may be possible. We recommend consulting a specialist SIPP advisor. We can connect you with firms who have navigated this for other UK investors.
Total transaction costs typically amount to 6–7% of purchase price: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, ~2% agency fee, plus AED 4,200 property registration. There is no stamp duty equivalent beyond this. Annual costs include service charges (typically AED 15–25 per sq ft) and optional property management fees of 5–8% of rental income.
Brexit has no impact on Dubai property ownership for UK nationals. The UAE has no relationship with EU property rules, and UK passport holders have always been treated as non-EU investors in Dubai. Your ownership rights, visa eligibility, and ability to repatriate funds are all unchanged.
