Freehold freedom! Dubai’s top villa communities

Got a villa on your mind?

With an abundance of villa communities in Dubai, it can be hard to know which ones are the right fit for you!

Especially if it's a freehold villa you’re on the market for.

What is a freehold you ask? Well as an owner of a freehold property, you own it outright, including the land it’s built on.

The benefits of a freehold property span from not paying rent, all the way down to having complete control of the asset.

Let’s take a look?
