style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Dubai, freeholds are properties in areas specially designated by the Ruler, allowing non-GCC nationals to own them. Under Law No 7 of 2006 Concerning the Land Registration in the Emirate of Dubai, Article 4 grants non-UAE nationals the right to purchase real estate in certain areas of Dubai and register their ownership with the Dubai Land Department. These properties are termed freeholds, granting them a secure ownership status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2002, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, passed a decree that changed the country&#8217;s landscape. This decree allowed non-GCC nationals to purchase property in the freehold areas of Dubai, granting them the right to own the land and the housing unit and the freedom to sell, lease, or live on the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ground-breaking decree opened the door for people worldwide to invest in the luxurious real estate of Dubai. When a property is purchased in any of the freehold areas of Dubai, the buyer&#8217;s name is registered with the Dubai Land Department, making them the legal &#8216;landowner&#8217; and granting them a title deed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The freehold contract is in place for an indefinite period of time, and upon the owner&#8217;s death, an heir can inherit the property. This allows the same property to remain in the same family for generations. This decree has blessed those who have taken full advantage of it. It has allowed people to own properties in some of the most luxurious locations in the world and has enabled them to pass on the legacy of these properties to their children and grandchildren.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_Freehold_Essentially_Mean\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Does Freehold Essentially Mean?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freehold properties in Dubai are the perfect choice for those looking to make a long-term investment.

In a freehold area, foreign investors must find a UAE national partner to hold a maximum of 51% of the company&#8217;s shares, while they control the remaining 49%. However, with the announcement of the new company laws, foreign investors can now own 100% of the company outside of the free zones in the UAE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those seeking to own property in Dubai, freehold areas are the ideal option. Off-plan investments can be particularly lucrative, as prices are generally lower and the potential return on investment is far greater. On the other hand, Dubai\u2019s free zones are great for those looking for 100% ownership, although these businesses are limited to the free zones and cannot expand beyond this. u<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ltimately, the choice between Freehold vs Free Zone in Dubai depends on what one wants to invest in, and the amount of control one wishes to have as a business owner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both, freehold and free zone areas in Dubai offer a wide array of benefits for people looking to set up a business in the province. Freehold areas provide a greater degree of control and ownership for businesses, while free zones offer tax-free trading and simplified procedures for setting up and running a business. Both areas have their own advantages and disadvantages, and businesses should research thoroughly before deciding which area is best for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Some More Useful Articles for You :<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 97.0492%; height: 375px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\" width=\"301\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Explore Motor City Dubai<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\" width=\"301\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/motor-city-dubai-livart\">Motor City Dubai<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\" width=\"301\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Pros and Cons of Living in Studio Apartment<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\" width=\"301\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/living-in-studio-apartment-livart\">Living in Studio Apartment<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\" width=\"301\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Pros and Cons of Living in Dubai South<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\" width=\"301\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/living-in-dubai-south-livart\">Living in Dubai South<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\" width=\"301\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Pros &amp; Cons of Living in Dubai Silicon Oasis<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\" width=\"301\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/living-in-dubai-silicon-oasis-livart\">Living in Dubai Silicon Oasis<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Pros &amp; Cons of Living in Dubai Marina<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 305px;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/living-in-dubai-marina-regart\">Living in Dubai Marina<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Question_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\t\t<section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_freehold_mean_in_UAE\"><\/span>What does freehold mean in UAE?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFreehold in UAE means the right to own a property in perpetuity, with no limits on the time it can be held.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Freezone_vs_Mainland_UAE\"><\/span>What is Freezone vs Mainland UAE?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFreezone is a special economic zone within the UAE where companies have more freedom and autonomy than in Mainland UAE, with lower taxes and fewer regulations.
