Dubai Tenants Demand Professionally Managed Properties, Betterhomes Survey Finds
Dubai tenants are increasingly prioritising professionally managed properties, according to Betterhomes' latest white paper, 'The Value of Professional Property Management: Tenant Insights & Market Trends.' Based on a comprehensive tenant survey, the findings reveal that 75% of respondents currently live in a professionally managed property, citing faster maintenance, clearer communication, and smoother living experiences as key benefits. The results confirm what we've seen in the market, tenants today demand professional property management, said Niral Jhaveri, Director of Property Management at Betterhomes. It's no longer just about collecting rent; it's about delivering an exceptional living experience. The data highlights clear preferences: 83% of tenants expect maintenance issues to be resolved within 24 hours, while 54% have rejected properties that lacked professional management. In fact, 72% of tenants who experienced both managed and non-managed homes said professional management significantly improved their rental experience. Betterhomes' own managed portfolio reflects this growing demand, achieving a 96% occupancy rate. The study also found that 69% of tenants have considered moving out due to poor maintenance, and 42% are willing to pay a higher rent for a managed property with 24/7 support. An additional 32% said they are somewhat open to paying more, showing strong potential for value-driven pricing. As expectations continue to rise, property owners who invest in professional management are more likely to reduce turnover, attract quality tenants, and maximise long-term profitability. For landlords seeking to stay competitive in Dubai's evolving rental market, the message is clear: professional property management is no longer optional, it's essential.

Betterhomes' Top Buyer Nationalities in 2025: Egyptians, a Rising Force in Dubai's Real Estate
Betterhomes' Top Buyer Nationalities in 2025: Egyptians, a Rising Force in Dubai's Real Estate Dubai's real estate market continues to attract a diverse global audience, with Betterhomes' latest data revealing key shifts in buyer demographics. In 2025, Indian, British, and Italian investors led the way in residential property purchases, followed by buyers from Russia and Pakistan. Notably, Italian buyer activity surged by 22%, while Egyptian investors saw an extraordinary 150% increase compared to 2024. This sharp rise underscores growing international confidence in Dubai's dynamic real estate sector. Beyond these top five nationalities, demand remains strong from buyers across Lebanon, Iran, and other key markets, reaffirming Dubai's status as a premier global investment destination. 'This year, we've seen a clear shift in buyer demographics, with a significant rise in Egyptian and Italian investors. Many of our Egyptian clients are seeking stability amid currency fluctuations, while Italians are drawn to Dubai's tax advantages and luxury lifestyle. It's not just about buying property—it's about securing their future in a globally recognised market' said Christopher Cina, Director of Sales at Betterhomes. In recent years, Dubai has become a top destination for Egyptian investors seeking financial security, high returns, and long-term growth. Several factors are driving this trend: Hedging Against Currency Devaluation – With the Egyptian pound facing depreciation, many investors are turning to Dubai's dollar-pegged real estate market as a safe haven for wealth preservation. High Rental Yields & Capital Growth – Dubai offers some of the highest rental yields in the region, often ranging from 6-8%, along with strong capital appreciation potential in prime locations. Golden Visa & Residency Incentives – Investors purchasing properties worth AED 750,000 ($204,000) or more can qualify for long-term residency, offering greater mobility and business opportunities. Ease of Ownership & Tax Benefits – Unlike some markets, Dubai allows 100% freehold ownership for foreigners and has no property taxes, making it a more investor-friendly environment. Business & Lifestyle Appeal – As a global hub, Dubai attracts Egyptians seeking both investment and lifestyle advantages, from world-class infrastructure to ease of doing business.
