Better Homes Sees Best Leasing Month Ever!

Contrary to the worries of a massive exodus this summer, Better Homes celebrated its best month ever in August, with more lease transactions than any prior month in company history.

While sales volumes in Dubai have been moderately picking up over the past several months, leasing has been very busy. In fact, August enjoyed more than twice as many transactions as many months during early-mid 2008, when market-prices were still climbing.  August doesn’t seem to be an anomaly, either, because May, June, and July all had relatively strong figures.

Some individuals and families have left for the summer, and it remains to see whether they will come back or if they are gone for good. However, there has been a significant inflow of new residents to the Dubai rental market.  Internal records indicate that a third of these have been new entries from the UK, Europe and the US, who are mostly mid-level managers, a third from outlying emirates, and a third are current residents who are shifting internally as district prices drop. 

In most communities, rental prices have stopped falling and are remaining flat. The most popular communities in Dubai for rent remain Dubai Marina (including JBR), Bur Dubai, The Springs, and Trade Centre. Top communities for sales are Green Community, Dubai Marina, The Springs, and Jumeirah Village (which has been gaining strong momentum in recent months).

Pay Your Rent - One Month at a Time

It’s finally here… Better Plus presents a monthly rental payment solution. This means that you can now say goodbye to large, up-front rent cheques and choose to pay monthly instead. We also do an immediate assessment, so you know what can be financed.

How does rental finance work? 

We all know that rent in UAE is expensive and up-front payments are burdensome, to say the lease. Better Plus now offers you the ability to pay your rent on a monthly basis, which for many expats is what you were used to back home. We pay the landlord one cheque up front, and then you pay us monthly installments, just like financing an auto, television, or furniture. This gives you much more flexibility in terms of where you can live, as well as keeping your finances liquid.

 Our Rental Finance service is called Rental Assist and offers three great products (available in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman).

 Kickstart – 3 times your monthly salary in advance for people who arrive in the UAE.

 Assistant – 6 or 12 months rental paid on your behalf directly to the landlord, after which you repay the same in monthly payments.  Fee-based finance.

 Maximiser – 6 to 12 months rental paid on your behalf directly to the landlord, after which you repay the same in monthly payments. Period of payment is up to 48 months and interest-based.

The process takes 10 working days to finalise. We also do an immediate Affordability Assessment and certify you absolutely FREE of cost.
