Survey Reveals 79% of Women in the UAE See Real Estate as a Key Investment, Yet Remain Cautious
A new survey has revealed that while 79 per cent of women in the UAE recognise the benefits of property investment, the majority have yet to take the plunge — largely due to limited access to mentorship, investment platforms, and clear guidance. The findings, released at the launch of a new initiative by UK-based property firm Joseph Mews, highlight growing demand among women for resources that enable long-term financial security through real estate. The survey found that 62.5 per cent of female respondents cited lack of access to mentorship and platforms as a key barrier to investing. Remarkably, 100 per cent agreed that real estate investment is essential for building long-term wealth. Johnny Conran, Managing Partner at Joseph Mews, noted the firm's mission to close this gap by offering tailored education and access to prime UK property opportunities. 'We believe wealth is built through clarity, confidence, and long-term strategy,' he said. Complementing these efforts, Merlin Real Estate has introduced peer-based mentorship networks, matching female clients with experienced investors to build trust and confidence. 'Once they get confident, they not only invest but also become our referral partners,' said co-founder Rohit Bachani. Despite a growing sense of independence — with 67 per cent of women saying they feel confident making investment decisions — 46 per cent still do not understand the difference between income-generating and capital-growth properties. In a broader push for inclusion, real estate companies in the region are also nurturing future female leaders. Property Finder's SheForShe programme, now in its third edition, offers mentorship, e-learning, and workshops designed to advance women's careers in the sector. The message is clear: while interest is high, access and education remain critical to empowering women in the UAE's real estate landscape. News Source: Khaleej Times
