EASY BUY PROCESS
STEP 1
Select READY Property
We believe that prices are at their lowest and are likely to rise over next few years. We only acquire READY properties with high demand and good rental yields in developed areas. DO NOT buy off-plan or incomplete property. DO NOT consider other areas such as Ajman or RAK. Studio and 1-Bed apartments are the Best Buy. Select one of the 3 property types opposite and then select the size (see brochures for details)
STEP 2
Make a Reservation
A reservation agreement will be sent to you. To get the best deal e.g. a larger apartment for the same price, you may need to give us flexibility on the specific apartment.
STEP 3
Deposit via Client Account
Funds belong to the customer within the client account until paid to the seller at point of transfer. Initial deposit is 10% of property price.
STEP 4
Sign Purchase Agreement.
You will be sent the final version of the 'Agreement To Purchase' or sometime called MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) to sign. Visit to Dubai is not essential. You will also need to make arrangements to pay the remaining 90% prior to property transfer or on the day of property transfer (see below)
STEP 5
Property Transfer
At some point (normally within 30 to 60 days of signing the Purchase Agreement) you will need to visit Dubai and we will take you to the Dubai Lands department. The property can then be transferred to your name after all of the funds have been paid. Most customers use the Client Account to make the 90% of the remaining payment prior to transfer. Others use a Managers Cheque from UAE bank on the day of transfer. If you do not wish to visit Dubai, we can still transfer the property to your name using a Power of Attorney.
STEP 6
Rent out using Openshore
Openshore guarantee to take responsibility for renting out and pay a minimum of 8% rental yield (Studios and 1 bed apartments shown here). This takes the risk out of the investment. If you wish to use property yourself, then we will not rent it out. You can decide on this option at the time of purchase.
STEP 7
Get Rent & Growth
Inflation is eroding value of any cash funds you may have. Such an investment in Dubai (at its lowest price point) makes sense. Rental income of 8% and expected capital growth with possible doubling of property value over the next 5 years.
NOTE: Property prices can go down as well as up. Everyone has a view but no-one can be certain. We believe prices are rock bottom now and will go up in the next few years as there is very little new property being built - so shortages are likely.

Payment plans are only available on selected apartments - E.g. the better Type B & C apartments where we are very confident about the long-term rental. Such plans are good as they allow your rental income to pay for part of the property. Thus you end up paying LESS out of your own pocket.
For full details please download one of the brochures and fill in your email details. You will be sent an email with further details and apartment sizes, locations and pictures.
The chart below shows 2 Year payment plans on a popular Studio and a popular 1-bed apartment. The 1-bed apartment is great for investment as it will mean you only pay about £39,000 out of your own pocket as about £10,000 of rental income is credited against your payments over the two years.
Only Openshore offer such Payment Plans and Rental Guarantees. This makes a property purchase much safer and overall more cost effective as your own investment is less, your property is not left empty, and is well managed. Note prices below are valid only until end of this month. There is only a small increase expected in prices for next month.

Prices Valid until end of this month
Dubai prices are “Rock Bottom” and are already showing signs of slight increase at the low end of the market. The forecasts below are for a 1-bedroom purchase. It shows good returns of 8% net every year EVEN if there is no increase in property prices over the next 5 years. If prices increase by 10% per year, as many expect the returns are on average 25% per year. This is why, now is the right time to invest.
These forecasts show the effect of growth on your property value, rental income and costs for a 1-bed apartment of price AED 299,000. It is important to bear in mind that these are approximate forecasts and that in any market property prices can go down as well as up.
Forecast A - This assumes there is NO growth in property values at all over next 5 years from current low positions. With a 1-bed you make a profit of about £15,000 (Studio £11,000)
Forecast B - 5% growth per year
With a 1-bed you make a profit of about £30,000 (Studio £22,000)
Forecast C - 10% Growth per year
With a 1-bed you make a profit of about £49,000 (Studio £35,000)
Most analysts would forecast growth of 5% to 10% per year over next 5 years from current low levels.
The figures also assume a net rental after expenses at 7% of property price. These are figures that have been consistently achieved in percentage terms over the past 5 years in this area.
This is a great investment if you have funds. The annual percentage return on bank savings is only about 1% whereas % return on such a property purchase is between 8% to 25%. Thus if you have funds, it becomes a very good investment.
