Confidence

Wide range

What would this size cost?

Enter the size from the brochure or the floor plan. We price it against what homes of that size actually registered at in The Lakes Zulal — not an asking price, and not this project’s overall median, which mixes every unit size together.

What it returns

A year’s rent against what that size actually sold for in The Lakes Zulal over the same twelve months. Prices are this project’s own registered sales. Rents marked this building are registered new tenancies in The Lakes Zulal itself; the rest are homes of the same size in The Lakes, used where Ejari did not name the building.

Why this is lower than yields quoted elsewhere

The usual shortcut divides today’s rent by an average price — and in a market that has risen as far as Dubai’s, the average is a historical price. On that arithmetic a 3 beds here reads 9.5% instead of 4.4%, because it prices the home at AED 3.16M — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 6.85M it costs today. Every figure above uses the same twelve months on both sides.

What it returns after service charges

We hold no filed budget for this one, so this starts from a placeholder rather than a measurement — it’s on the service charge invoice, or on RERA’s Service Charge Index. How to check it.

SizeCharge / yearRent after itGrossNet
3 bedsAED 43,218AED 256,7824.4%3.7%

Still not the final number: agency commission on re-letting, and any month the home sits empty, both come out of net rent too. This subtracts the service charge only, because it is the one cost that is the same every year whether or not the home is let.

Gross yield: rent before costs. Service charges, agency commission, and any month the home sits empty all come out of it — in Dubai the service charge alone is commonly a fifth to a third of the rent, so treat these as the ceiling rather than the return.
