Enquiry for a broker: studio or one-bedroom apartment in Dubai

Clients often can't decide which type of property is right for them to buy. This is where a property broker comes to the rescue. It is the specialist who should highlight all the nuances and help the investor make a step in the right direction. But what if the broker is not confident in his knowledge? Let's figure out together how a studio is better than an apartment and vice versa.

Usually, the difference in price between a studio and a one-bedroom apartment is small. In addition, these are the most popular types of accommodation purchased for investment. What kind of property to choose, and not to make a mistake?

Those cases when it is more favourable to buy a studio in Dubai

Many people in Russia are used to the fact that a studio 一 is a small space, often with inconvenient zoning. However, in the Emirates, such property is thought out to the smallest detail and is very comfortable to live in. Zones in a studio apartment in Dubai are perfectly integrated into the interior, combined with each other and have maximum functionality. A distinctive feature of such property 一 furnishing (which is quite common) and household appliances.

Future short-term rentals

If your client wants to rent out an apartment and earn money from it, it is better to buy a studio in a tourist, coastal or business area. Usually, people looking for holiday accommodation or short work trips prefer low-cost studios of a small size. Locations such as Dubai Marina, JVC, Business Bay, Jumeirah will be ideal for buying a property for short term rentals.

Quick resale

In tourist areas, studios are the fastest growing in value. If a one-bedroom apartment in the same location is 25% higher, it is profitable to invest in a studio. And after some time to resell more expensive. 

Why is it favourable to buy a studio

• Cost. Your client can buy a studio at a relatively low price and get full access to all the amenities of the residential complex.
• Cheap cleaning and maintenance and minimal utility bills.
• Good investment opportunities for customers with a small budget.

Long-term rentals

For those who are coming to Dubai for a long term stay, a studio space may seem small. People moving to the emirate for long term rentals generally prefer to stay away from the tourist areas, but not too far from the city centre. Apartments in a well-planned bedroom location are ideal for a comfortable life.

By the way, if your client chooses a property in a premium-class residential complex, its tenants will also be able to benefit from maintenance and a set of additional services and facilities.

Quick resale

One-bedroom apartments located in a popular neighbourhood are also a profitable investment. However, there is one small condition: this property must be more expensive than a studio in a similar location by a maximum of 20-25%. If the amount exceeds a certain level 一 it will be more difficult to resell the apartment.
