Disclaimer
UnitedDubai Blog publishes journalism about the Dubai property market. It does not provide advice, does not sell property and does not act as a broker. This page sets out exactly what our content is — and what it is not.
Read this first
Property investment carries risk, including the risk of losing part or all of the capital invested. Nothing on this website should be relied on as the basis for a purchase, sale, rental, relocation or immigration decision without independent professional advice.
Scope of this disclaimer
This disclaimer applies to all content published on this website and any associated channels: articles, category pages, the glossary, newsletters, tables, charts, calculators and reader responses. By using the site you accept the terms below and those in our Terms of Use.
No professional advice
Our content is general information published for an international readership. It does not take into account your financial position, objectives, residency status or risk tolerance, and therefore cannot be suitable advice for your circumstances.

Accuracy and timeliness
- Data reflects the source and the period referenced in the article at the time of publication.
- Prices, yields, service charges, fees and index values change continuously; historical figures are not indicative of current values.
- We make no warranty, express or implied, as to continued accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose after publication.
- Where an article has been updated, the revision date is shown; earlier figures may remain accurate only for their stated period.
Market risk warning
Capital risk
Property values can fall as well as rise. Dubai has experienced multi-year drawdowns as well as rapid growth cycles.
Liquidity risk
Real estate is illiquid. Exiting a position can take months, and forced sales typically transact below asking.
Income risk
Rental income is not guaranteed. Void periods, tenant default, service-charge increases and management fees all reduce net yield.
Development risk
Off-plan projects can be delayed, redesigned or cancelled, even where escrow protections apply.
Currency risk
The AED is pegged to the USD; buyers earning in other currencies carry exchange exposure on both purchase and income.
Concentration risk
A single unit in a single community is an undiversified position, however strong the headline yield appears.
Past performance, historical appreciation and advertised or projected yields are not reliable indicators of future results.
Regulatory, licensing and visa changes
UAE property, tenancy, holiday-home licensing and immigration rules are amended regularly, sometimes with immediate effect and without a transition period. Eligibility thresholds, fees and documentary requirements described on this site may have changed since publication. Always verify current requirements directly with the Dubai Land Department, RERA, DET, the ICP or GDRFA before acting.
Tax and residency
References to the UAE's tax environment describe the UAE only. Your worldwide tax position depends on your citizenship, tax residency, days present, double-taxation treaties and controlled-foreign-company or remittance rules in your home country. Obtaining a UAE residence visa does not automatically end tax residency elsewhere.
Common misconception
"Zero income tax in the UAE" is a statement about UAE law. It says nothing about whether your home jurisdiction will tax the same income.
Third-party links and advertising
External links are provided for convenience. We do not control, endorse or accept responsibility for third-party websites, their content, their data practices or any transaction you enter into with them. Advertisements, including those served by Google AdSense, are selected programmatically and do not constitute a recommendation.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, UnitedDubai Blog, its editors, authors and contributors accept no liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or financial loss arising from use of, or reliance on, information published on this site — including loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or costs incurred in a property or immigration transaction.
