KEY FACTORS OF THE REAL ESTATE

Population, demography and labour resources of the UAE are characterized bye one of the highest population growth the world. For the last five years the number of population was increased on more than 7%. In 2005 the population increased on 8% in comparison with a previous year and now consists of 4, 7 million people. According to the report about the level of world welfare (World Wealth Report), prepared by the investment bank group of Merrill Lynch and consulting firm Capgemini, the number of millionaires in a country is estimated by 56 400 persons, that is 1,2 % from general population, which is 4,7 million people, out of which 25% locals. In the conditions of economic boom, that opened an enormous number of new employment opportunities we expect high growth of population rates in a short-term period, conditioned mainly by mass emigrant influx in the country.

Population of UAE differs by the high percentage of young people

As in the case with other countries of the Persian bay, greater part of population is made by emigrants from other countries; here almost a half of all of population is on the age group of 25-44 years. In the last few years the age type of population did not change practically. The population stake in the age category of 25-44 years, possessing the greatest potential purchase ability in regard to the real estate, makes 27, 1%. For the estimation of stable demand rise on habitation we suppose that every year about 10% masculine part of population in the age category of 25-44 years marries and acquires new habitation.

Emigrants flow contributes demand growth on habitation

By another important factor, which stimulates demand growth on habitation, there is a large influx of emigrants. Regarding 7, 75-percent growth of emigrated population, that exceeds growth of native population, in 2008 we can expect approximately 350 000 emigrants to come to this country.

Based on above listed information, demand is expected to grow on 291 000 rooms in a period from 2007 to 2008. In addition, possibilities to increase the demand are not being eliminated. The program of economy revival can fully cause the greater influx of emigrants, than it was predicted earlier.

The growth of number of free-lancers in the last few years was analysed with the purpose of cross verification of foregoing estimations. New workplaces can be considered an index, reflecting demand on new habitation, in spite of the fact that a joint residence and combined jobs within the limits of one family reduce exactness of this analysis. For the last ten years annual increase of free-lance workers on the average composed 200 860 persons. Whereas, experts predict the unprecedented influx of labour force in a period from 2007 for 2008, our estimations of demand in 291000 apartments on the nearest two years are possible to consider rather modest.

Oil prices and exchange stocks contribute the growth of liquidity

Enormous investments, stimulated by high oil prices and increase of companies profits, inevitably resulted in surplus liquidity at the market, on which not less influence was rendered by high profits from securities. In 2005 the combined market capitalization of the countries-members that took part in the Cooperation Persian bay countries Council, increased on 124%, making at year's end 1,123 trillion of dollars of the USA. In UAE a fund market grew on 224%, attaining by year's end a sum in 226,94 milliard of dollars of the USA. In spite of the fact that in a certain period of time fund markets, and in particular case primary public placing of shares, played the role in limiting of surplus liquidity at the market, in a long-term period they positively influenced on the increase of welfare.

The considerable splash of liquidity reflects the state of money amount in country. Amount of money Ì2, where all of the bank deposits (except for the government deposits) and cash in circulation, in a period from 1999 for September, 2005 are characterized by the combined average annual rate of growth in 18,2%. This information shows how profits depend from the oil mining and incomes, received from these profits.

Along with the serious influencing, rendered on liquidity by high oil prices and income from fund markets, the aspect of level increase of net profit served the 70-percent increase of salary of government office workers and proper 50-percent increase of salary of other office workers served in 2007. On credits there is a minimum stake in the general amount of construction financing.

Stake of the construction sector has grown at the combined average annual rate of growth in 14,0%, that substantially exceeds the increase of bank credits volumes in this sphere. In 2004 the stake of construction sector in GDP made 28,5 billion of dirham. On condition that standard profitability is 15%, this result requires the investment of capital in 190 billion of dirham. At the end of 2004 the size of unpaid credit in this sector was 31,7 billions dirham, and at the end of September, 2005 - to 34,8 billions dirham, that clearly testifies to the limited role of government control.

Companies possess possibility of investment and broadening Companies equally with government have all of terms to investing in large amounts, that will render a plural effect on the different sectors of the real estate market. For the first nine months of 2006 the gross income of companies grew on 200%, considerably exceeding the index of growth of 2004 on 51%. Greater part of growth belonged to the sector of the real estate and tourism, which gross income for the first nine months of 2006 grew on 214% and 5,11 made billion dirham. Increase of companies’ profits conducts direct influence on demand on office and ware-house apartments and indirect influence on demand on habitation and commercial areas. From other side, the excellent economic state of companies, working in the field of the real estate, allows them to finance the required amount of the real estate.

Returning from the West

Besides internal liquidity, we could observe mass money returning which were invested to western banks and belonged to the participants of the Council of collaboration of the countries of the Persian bay. Tremendous amounts were withdrawn after the tragedy of September, 11 and London explosions. According to the information of Salmana bin Dasmala, executive director of company Dubai Holdings, from the general sum $1 trillion that were invested abroad, about $300 billion were returned in the region. In spite of the fact that greater part of these money went to Saudi Arabia, their considerable part settled at the market of the real estate in Dubai.

The amount of money, received from the abroad was practically as big as the amount of repatriated money. The cause of the flow of this means served to cause geopolitical instability in some countries.

This made rich people relocate their capital in rather safe places, such as Dubai. The first place among these nearby countries occupies Iran, which amount of investments in Dubai, on the estimations of specialists, makes more than $250 billions of dollars. Taking into account circumstance that in Iran we can observe unstable situation, in nearest time it is possible to expect new investments. Large investments also come from other countries-participants of the Council of collaboration of the countries of the Persian bay, mainly, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Investments

There are two ways to own real estate in Dubai:

A) Purchase of the completed premises (office, retail office).Here price would be high (in addition, as a rule, it is needed to pay the overall cost of the real estate), what can not be considered as an advantage for an investor!

B )Purchase of the real estate in the stage of construction, here the most advantageous for an investor choice is the purchase of the real estate in the stages of pre-launch (before the official start of project at the market) or launch (in the moment of official start of project at the market). Thus, primary payment at the purchase of object of the real estate makes from 10 to 15%. The graph of payments can be different depending on the object chosen by an investor. More frequently, a buyer will bring in 20% every three month. Also one should not forget that the laws of UAE do not forbid resale of object, being at the stage of construction. Thus, an investor can resell an object after paying 30% of costs.

C) Purchase of the real estate in 2-4 months prior to the moment of handing over the object into exploitation. At this moment it is very much of an advantage to buy the real estate even at high price, because in the moment of handing over the object its price, as a rule, grows on 10 – 30% from that which was paid by an investor.

IMPORT ANT! According to experts middle growth of habitation cost in UAE is 18% in a month.

So where can we get money

If there are no means to make money the most rapid and easiest way to get money is to take bank credit. It is possible to get a credit in the Ukrainian bank under present assets, it is possible to get a guarantee from the Ukrainian banks and get a credit in one of the banks of UAE, and it is possible simply to make an effort get a credit in one of the banks of UAE, In UAE credits are given to non-residents by local and foreign banks, the difference is only in requirements to the borrowers and terms. For example, National Bank of Dubai gives out a mortgage both to residents and non-residents. But for residents a minimum profit, allowing to apply on a credit, will make minimum 8 thousands dirham ($1 3,66 is equal to dirham) and for non-residents are 25 thousands dirhams. Residents can be given a credit on the period of 20 years, and non-residents - 12 years. Primary payment is 10-20%, but in some banks it depends on the estimation of profit of borrower.

But the origin of borrower rarely influences on credit rates, more frequent they depend on the method of profit. A credit can be given to a person aged 21 to 70 years. A credit is given for a term from 5 to 25 years, it can be given on a sum from $137 000 to $2 740 000. Middle interest rate on credit-side is 9, 10% annual. However much of all the listed above information requires additional clarification because it can not vary from situation to situation.

Some banks work only with emigrants from certain countries (such situation is typical not only for UAE). For example, Lloyds TSB English Financial Group give credits only to locals in UAE or England residents. Life and real estate insurance in UAE costs up to 0,5% from the cost of habitation, for the credit registration 0,5-1,25% costs of credit can be taken off. The table including banks credits in UAE is listed below.

An average payment schedule at the purchase of the real estate in Dubai.

The average schedules of payments at the purchase of the Dubai real estate are following:

  • 10% - first payment at reserving
  • 20% - second payment in 6 months
  • 20% - third payment in 6 months
  • 20% - fourth payment in 6 months
  • 20% - fifth payment in 6 months

Real Estate Investment variants in the UAE property

Nowadays, all kind of investments can be divided into three main types:

1. Minor Investments (basic funds of $300,000 -$1.5 million), carried out, basically, by individuals for purposes of profit.

Investment Objects: flats/apartments, houses (villas, townhouses), commercial property – offices, business premises.

Generally, this type of investments requires buying of investments objects in attractive place (prime location, new building projects with potential price growth) on a profitable base (price should not be high). Investors are waiting till the price is going higher, reselling it at the secondary Real Estate market. Alternatively, they can lease their property for interest rate profit.

Upon minor investments there are two options of buying properties:

À) Purchasing of new ready property (offices or business premises).

The price is quite high (moreover, it is needed to be paid in full amount), and that is not so profitable for an investor!

But, in spite of that, investor can get his profit, for example:

The price of two-bedroom apartment with a sea view in Jumeira Residence is 3 million AED. (approximately $820,000). During 6 month the price is increasing to 10 %, that compose 3.3 million AED ($900,000). Simultaneously, investor can lease this property on terms of short–tern leasing, getting additional 10% in average yearly. The similar situation takes place with other objects of office and residential Real Estate that are being used.

B) Purchasing off-planed property (in development stage). In this case the most profitable for investor can be purchasing of the property at, so called “pre-launch” period (before official launching of the projects on market), or at “launch” period (at the moment of official launching of the project on the market).

1. Minor Investments (basic funds of $300,000 -$1.5 million), carried out, basically, by individuals for purposes of profit.

Investment Objects: flats/apartments, houses (villas, townhouses), commercial property – offices, business premises.

Generally, this type of investments requires buying of investments objects in attractive place (prime location, new building projects with potential price growth) on a profitable base (price should not be high).

À) Purchasing of new ready property (offices or business premises).

The price is quite high (moreover, it is needed to be paid in full amount), and that is not so profitable for an investor!

But, in spite of that, investor can get his profit, for example:

The price of two-bedroom apartment with a sea view in Jumeira Residence is 3 million AED. (approximately $820,000). During 6 month the price is increasing to 10 %, that compose 3.3 million AED ($900,000). Simultaneously, investor can lease this property on terms of short–tern leasing, getting additional 10% in average yearly. The similar situation takes place with other objects of office and residential Real Estate that are being used.

B) Purchasing off-planed property (in development stage). In this case the most profitable for investor can be purchasing of the property at, so called “pre-launch” period (before official launching of the projects on market), or at “launch” period (at the moment of official launching of the project on the market).

This type of purchasing means that investor pays initial installment of 5-20% of above said property. By the moment of completing the construction, the price of the property can be multiplied. But, even the price is increasing only for 10%, during the period till the second installment investor can get back his fund and get up to 100% of profit.

The second option of purchasing property in development stage is buying it before 2-4 months of date of substantial completion.

In case of purchasing property on the early stage of the project investor pays accordingly to the appropriate schedule of payment.

Usually it is up to 10-20% of the property price every three month or half of the year (schedule plan is composed by developer). For instance, if the price of the flat/apartment or office is 1 (One) Million AED and completion of the development is scheduled after two years, during the first year investor pays 50% of the price (10% every 2.5 month). During the second year rest 50% of the sum, divided into 10% installment payments. In this case, investor does not overpay, but for two years the price of purchased property will increase up to 10-100% according to the situation on the real estate market.

Usually, in case of 20-25% payments, the flat/apartment or office can be resold. The total price will increase by 10-20% that comprises from 50 to 100% profit of investments funds.

What is important: investment attractiveness of the purchased property.

What does it mean? As an example can be considered two new areas of Dubai – Business Bay and Down Town Burj Dubai.

Even leading developers in Dubai can not say for sure where the existing border between these two new projects is. They are situated so close to each other, but in spite of this, the price for 1 sq. ft. in Business Bay today comprises 2,500 AED ($ 682), in Downtown Burj Dubai already 4,000 AED($ 1,090). Taking into account the high demand for this “new business hub of Dubai”, that fact allows forecasting the price of property in Business Bay will reach the level of the property price in Downtown Burj Dubai.

2. Medium Investments. ($1.5 million-$30 million), carried out by individuals or legal entity to get profit.

Investment objects: the whole floors of the building, buildings (residential, trade and offices), and plots of land for the further development.

This type means the investment of quite a large amount of funds with the aim of getting solid interest. What is the profitability? In case of buying property (the whole floors of the building, house or land for the further development) on the stage of pre-launch and launch (1-2 months before official launch of the project at the market) the price is usually 20% lower than at the moment of the official launch of the project. Beside, you should take into account some features of the investments objects, which are the following:

A) Purchasing of the whole floor or building The purchasing of the whole floor is profitable by the fact that the price per 1 Sq. ft will be wholesale. Investor, who has purchased the whole floor, can divide it into the separate promises (flats, officesdepending on the building designation), and resell it by market price, that is usually 10-15% higher of wholesale price per Sq.ft. That will guarantee 100% of investment back through a few months.
