Are You Thinking of Moving Back to the UK from Dubai?

A significant part of our client base, particularly over the last 20 years, have been expatriates looking to return to the UK from Dubai and the UAE. As experienced property agents, we know that this a particularly challenging, but also very interesting and rewarding time.

Why Move Back to the UK from Dubai?

There may be a plethora of reasons that you want to stay in Dubai, people might have asked why you want to leave such an amazing country. But, there are many reasons for moving back to the UK, in our experience often it is for family and schooling reasons.  The family has been initially raised in the Dubai or UAE, but now has come the time to return home and settle for the crucial years of education and growing-up. (And maybe plan some exciting family holidays in the meantime.)

Working with a Property Finder to Help with Your Move from Dubai to the UK

Moving back to the UK is an exciting time, but also a very serious time. It is absolutely essential that it is done right.  There are several reasons why it’s a good idea to work with a property finder when you’re planning your move across continents.

Cost – The cost of buying property in the UK, with significant increases in Stamp Duty and the cost of legal and removal fees etc., has only gone up while you have been away. When you work with one of our property finders, we can guide you through the hidden costs and make sure you have a good understanding before you start your search.

Feet on the Ground – We also understand that it is very difficult to read the UK property market from Dubai or UAE.  There are as many pundits in the papers and online, with conflicting views of what’s happening in the market, as there are actual properties on the market.  Overlay that with the gossip and chatter of friends and family, and it is no wonder that people are confused. But we’re here to be your eyes, ears and feet on the ground. We are in the market day-in-day-out and can give you a real view of the realties on the ground back here via telephone, FaceTime, Skype etc.  We know what’s happening.

Expertise and Experience – We also want to talk to you about what you are looking for when it comes to property in the UK. If you do instruct us, you can put yourself in the driving seat, whilst doing nothing.  We will sift through the market, discarding the rejects and keeping our eyes and ears open through our local contacts.  And when you hit the ground and are back in the UK, we’ll be ready to show you the best property on the market.

We’re on your side – Unlike an estate agent who works for the seller, we are the buyers agent. That means we want to make sure you get the best property for the best price. We are here to help every step of the way.
