Net Rental Yields
Our rental yield percentages reflect the average net rental yield after deducting all costs associated with the property. This includes the annual service fee, utilities, and other expenses. We provide transparent information to ensure you have a clear understanding of the actual rental income you can expect from your investment property.
Below you can see an example of the calculation of the income from the rental of a property that is rented long-term as an unfurnished 1 bedroom apartment (Area: 80 sq.m., Location: Royal Breeze Residence, Al Hamra Village, Ras al Khaimah)
Real Example
* Annual service fee to the developer - By collecting this fee from the residents, the developer finances the maintenance of common areas (including the maintenance of all greenery), security services, energy consumption for common areas and other costs associated with the operation of residential housing
** Return on Investment in % = this value is calculated by the formula "Total net annual yield / total cost of property acquisition"
*** The exchange rate of 1 EUR = 4 AED was used for the calculation
Factors for investment profitability in the form of long-term return on investment
  • The forecast for property price growth in Ras Al Khaimah is now estimated at:
    10% -25% annually depending on the property type
  • Although Ras Al Khaimah is affected by the property market in Dubai, it is far more stable.
    While property prices in Dubai have shown a sinusoidal curve over the past 15 years, with large and rapid increases in prices alternating with periods of large and rapid declines, in Ras Al Khaimah the increase has been more gradual, but apart from an annual decline in the period from spring 2020 to spring 2021 due to the Covid pandemic, it is not facing any big drops.
  • Rapid development of Ras Al Khaimah
    Ras Al Khaimah has experienced rapid development in recent years, and new investments are now supported not only by the project of the American company Wynn Resorts, which will open the first casino in the Middle East in early 2027 precisely in Ras Al Khaimah on Marjan Island.
