How it works
You rent for an agreed term with a portion of each payment credited toward the purchase price, then complete at a pre-agreed figure. Schemes appear periodically in Dubai Hills Estate at prices near AED 1,560,000.
The trade-off
Rent-to-own suits buyers who cannot yet get a mortgage, but the effective price is usually above market. Compare it against a standard mortgage at 20% down before committing.
