Demand for Dubai luxury home maintenance soars as branded residences surge 43%
Dubai's booming luxury branded residential sector is driving a sharp increase in demand for premium home maintenance services, according to UAE-based specialist Hitches & Glitches. More than 13,000 branded units were sold in Dubai during 2024, up 43 per cent from the previous year, according to Global Branded Residences (GBR). The city's inventory now exceeds 132 developments and 43,000 units, with the figure expected to more than double by 2030. Branded residences in Dubai Zohaib Azhar, director of operations at Hitches & Glitches, said: 'With luxury branded residences increasing their share of Dubai's booming residential property market and attracting high net-worth investors with equally high standards and expectations, naturally the quality of maintenance service levels needs to meet, if not exceed those expectations. 'Discerning buyers who are willing to pay a premium of up to 69 per cent compared to non-branded residences are understandably looking for professional home maintenance. 'They understand that quality maintenance preserves and enhances the aesthetic and functional condition of their property, as well as offering greater asset appreciation. 'This is particularly relevant if they travel extensively or use the property as a second or holiday home. To deliver exceptional service, two critical factors have emerged – technology and training'. H&G's smart technology platform, developed in-house by Farnek's smart FM solutions arm HITEK, allows property owners to monitor maintenance requests in real time through a dedicated app. The system enables remote approval and payment for materials, giving international investors greater control over property upkeep. H&G's home maintenance division now manages more than 1,500 active Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) worth more than AED26m ($7m), serviced by 240 qualified technicians. The company's portfolio includes properties in prestigious developments such as: Address Palace Vida Four Seasons Dubai Marina Palm Jumeirah Downtown Dubai Dubai Creek Harbour Jumeirah Bay Island In addition to mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), air conditioning, painting, carpentry, pest control, and minor renovations, H&G offers upkeep for gym equipment, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, home automation systems, and laundry appliances. The company has also seen a rise in demand for housekeepers, maids, chefs, drivers, service butlers, and security staff, particularly in the branded residential market.

EFG Holding posts strong Q2 2025 growth driven by diversified performance
Karim Awad, group CEO, EFG Holding/Image: Supplied EFG Holding, a financial institution with a universal bank in Egypt and the leading investment bank in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), reported a 21 per cent year-on-year (YoY) revenue increase in Q2 2025 to EGP6.1bn, supported by strong results across all business lines—particularly EFG Finance, its non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) platform, and Bank NXT, its commercial bank. Total operating expenses, including provisions and expected credit losses (ECL), rose 22 per cent YoY to EGP4.1bn, driven by higher provisions—mainly in EFG Finance—and increased general and administrative (G&A) costs, while employee expenses remained flat. With revenue growth outpacing expense growth, net operating profit rose 19 per cent YoY and net profit before tax increased 21 per cent YoY. Net profit after tax and minority interest grew 2 per cent YoY to EGP802m. Group CEO Karim Awad said: 'Our second quarter results demonstrate the continued resilience and strength with which EFG Holding operates, supported by its diversified platform and strong geographic footprint. EFG Holding's first half of 2025 has been defined by meaningful milestones and strong momentum. Foremost among these is Valu's listing on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) in June, complemented by Amazon's decision to exercise its Option Agreement with EFG Holding to acquire a direct stake in Valu. The period's financial results highlight the standout performance of EFG Finance, driven by Valu and Bank NXT. Our Asset Management platform continues to expand, with assets under management growing, while the Investment Banking division closed transactions totaling more than $1bn in the quarter.' Business line performance EFG Hermes posted flat revenues at EGP2.7bn, with a 131 per cent YoY increase in combined Holding & Treasury Activities, Brokerage, and Buy Side revenues. Holding & Treasury Activities rebounded to EGP397m from a loss of EGP503m in Q2 2024. Brokerage revenues rose 25 per cent YoY, led by Egypt, Kuwait, and UAE markets. Net profit after tax and minority interest fell 11% YoY to EGP268m, due to lower profitability in the Investment Banking division. EFG Finance revenues surged 66 per cent YoY to EGP1.8bn, driven by broad-based growth. Valu led with a 71 per cent YoY revenue increase, fueled by securitisation gains, higher fees, and a 60% rise in loan issuances to EG4.7bn. Tanmeyah and Corp-Solutions also saw growth, with Leasing's portfolio doubling to EGP17.7bn. Operating expenses jumped 82 per cent YoY to EGP1.2bn due to inflation-driven costs, higher provisions, increased staff costs, and one-time listing expenses. Net profit after tax and minority interest fell 15 per cent YoY to EGP230m, due to higher minority interest after Valu's share distribution and reduced ownership from 95 per cent to 67 per cent. Bank NXT delivered 30 per cent YoY revenue growth to EGP1.6bn, led by higher net interest income and interest-earning assets. Operating expenses rose 23 per cent YoY to EGP694m, offset by a 27 per cent decline in provisions and ECL. Net profit after tax and minority interest jumped 39 per cent YoY to EGP304m. Awad concluded: 'Amid ongoing geopolitical volatility and persistent macroeconomic headwinds, market dynamics across the MENA region remained varied, both in terms of liquidity and overall performance. Nonetheless, the Brokerage business delivered notable growth in total executions, driven primarily by robust activity in Kuwait and the UAE. Bank NXT continued to broaden its portfolio, diligently cultivating a strong base that will underpin future growth and generate lasting value. Anchored by a solid foundation, the firm is well-positioned to adeptly navigate changing market conditions and confidently capitalise on emerging opportunities for the benefit of clients and shareholders alike.'
