It’s not often we’d list a crashed property market as a good thing, but in Dubai and the UAE it’s a fantastic one – especially if you’re considering living there! The current economy makes buying a home in Dubai very economical; however, renting is considerably more expensive. Most employers will help new recruits relocate either by paying some advance rent (in most cases, you’ll be expected to pay a year upfront) or by helping you out with a deposit, so ask at interview stage. Of course, housing in the Emirates is very new so everything is a new build with shiny mods and cons: ideal for your new start!
