The world's best-performing market, without the European tax burden.

Dubai brings together what no European market offers at once: zero tax on rent, double-digit yields and a secure freehold framework for foreign owners.

0% tax on rent

No rental income tax, no property tax, no capital gains tax. Your rent is 100% net.

≈ 8% net yield

Two to three times the yields of major European capitals, on liquid and sought-after areas.

10-year Golden Visa

From AED 2M invested (≈ €510K), you gain UAE residency, renewable every 10 years.

04 / 06

Dirham pegged to the dollar

The AED has been pegged to the USD since 1997: no currency risk against a safe-haven currency.

05 / 06

Deep, liquid market

Tens of thousands of transactions a year and rental demand fuelled by a growing population.

06 / 06

+60% median price over 5 years

Why Dubai

Why an apartment in Dubai

The apartment is Dubai's flagship product: deep secondary market, flexible off-plan payment plans, and the best yield/liquidity ratio for a first investment.

How Level8 supports you

From selection to letting, a single point of contact.

01

Curated selection

We filter the market and only present a handful of properties that hold up — developer, location, payment plan, rental potential.

02

Negotiation at no extra cost

We negotiate price, terms and discounts directly with the developer. We're paid by them, not by you.

03

Reservation & DLD

Reservation, contract, staged payment and registration with the Dubai Land Department — every step secured and explained.

04

Post-acquisition & letting

Handover, furnishing, letting and management: we stay your point of contact after signing.

Dubai — waterfront
On-site or remote

We buy in Dubai as if you were there.

Video viewings, complete dossiers, remote signing: your purchase moves forward without you having to fly out.

Your guarantees

A regulated framework, end to end.

DLD escrow accounts

For off-plan, your payments sit in an escrow account regulated by the Dubai Land Department.

Developers with a solid track record

We work with established developers who deliver — Emaar, Sobha, Nakheel, Meraas and other market references.

France-UAE tax treaty

A treaty prevents double taxation: your UAE rental income is not taxed again in France.

French-speaking team on both sides

French-speaking contacts in Paris and Dubai, from the first conversation through to letting.
