Dubai Property Investment Meetup
Glasgow | Sun 14 Dec 2025

Dubai offers significantly higher rental yields (5-9% vs 3-5% in Glasgow), zero property taxes, zero capital gains tax, and 100% freehold ownership for foreigners. With Glasgow's property market facing high LBTT (up to 16%) and complex regulations, Dubai provides a tax-efficient alternative with stronger appreciation potential and no inheritance tax.

Dubai property investments start from as low as £100,000 for studios in emerging areas like JVC or Dubai South. For prime locations like Dubai Marina or Downtown, 1-bedroom apartments typically range from £200,000-£400,000, while 2-bedroom units start from £350,000.

Yes! Several UK and UAE banks offer mortgages to British residents for Dubai properties. Typical requirements include 20-25% deposit, proof of UK income, credit history, and valid passport. UAE banks like Emirates NBD and Mashreq offer competitive rates, while some UK lenders also finance overseas properties.

Zingo Real Estate provides complete remote property management services for Glasgow-based investors. We handle tenant sourcing, rent collection, maintenance, legal compliance, and provide monthly reports—totally hands-free investment. You can monitor everything through our online portal from anywhere in Scotland.

The event is at Voco Grand Central Glasgow, 99 Gordon Street, Glasgow G1 3SF. It's located directly above Glasgow Central Station in the heart of the city centre, within walking distance of Queen Street Station, George Square, and Buchanan Street shopping district. Perfect central location with excellent transport links.

You'll learn about Dubai's property market dynamics, how to secure UK mortgages for Dubai properties, tax advantages for Scottish investors, best areas for investment, expected rental yields and ROI, legal requirements for foreign buyers, property management options, and exit strategies. You'll also get one-on-one consultations with Zingo's investment specialists.

In Scotland, you pay LBTT (up to 16% on properties over £750,000), income tax on rental income (up to 47%), and potential capital gains tax (up to 28%). In Dubai, there's zero property tax, zero income tax on rentals, zero capital gains tax, and zero inheritance tax. This means you keep significantly more of your returns and can pass properties to heirs tax-free.

Yes, absolutely free with no hidden costs or obligations. Registration is free, attendance is free, and there's no pressure to invest. Simply register to secure your spot at Voco Grand Central Glasgow on Sunday, 14th December 2025. Complimentary refreshments will be provided throughout the event.

Absolutely! We encourage couples and investment partners to attend together. Each person should register separately so we can prepare materials for everyone. Group consultations are available for partnerships and family investments.

Just bring yourself and any questions you have! If you're seriously considering investing, bringing proof of funds or mortgage pre-approval can help our team provide more specific guidance. But this is completely optional for the initial meetup—we're here to educate first and foremost.
