Allsopp & Allsopp Quarter 1 Report
The Allsopp & Allsopp Q1 report shows a significant rise in tenant and buyer registrations, a rise in property management portfolios and Mortgages. There has also been an increase in millennials buying properties in Dubai which further clarifies the confidence in the property market.

Allsopp & Allsopp’s Quarter 1 (Q1) of 2019 has seen a rise in buyer and tenant registration against a backdrop continued reports of oversupply in the Dubai property market. Buyer registration is up by 20% with sales transactions experiencing an 18% increase. Tenant registration is up considerably at 55% with rental transactions seeing an extensive 75% increase. The population of Dubai is continuing to grow, according to the Dubai Statistics Center the city has seen a 6.5% rise since March 2018 putting the population up to 3.1 million. This rise in population is slowly but surely matching the property supply and we are seeing this with the rise in buyer and tenant registrations.

Lewis Allsopp, CEO explains “We have heard oversupply as far back as 2006 in regard to the Dubai property market when the Jumeirah Beach Residence units were handed over. These apartments were, of course, filled quickly and Dubai went on to build hundreds of thousands of more units, which, in time have filled. As long as the population continues to increase, demand will come.”

Allsopp continues “More buyer and tenant registrations reflect more confidence in the Dubai property market and Dubai as a whole. People are moving to Dubai to better their career in a city which offers the opportunity to do so. These tenants are then joining the Dubai property cycle. For those who decide that Dubai is the place for them, typically in 3-4 years these tenants will look to make a step onto the Dubai property ladder. This is exactly what we are seeing with the increase in Buyer registrations. Tenants are taking advantage of the drop-in pricing that has taken place over the last couple of years in the city and buying their first homes.”

The average age of Allsopp & Allsopp’s tenants and buyers fall between 31-45 years old and this has remained consistent throughout the years. However, the company’s statistics for Q1 have revealed an increase in 18-30-year old’s buying and renting property within Dubai. 

Allsopp says “The increase in millennials buying and renting in Dubai is very positive for the city. Millennials are known for being more care-free and of the renting generation with less importance being put on buying a home. The fact that we are seeing an increase from 14% of tenants that are between the ages of 18-30 in 2018 to 16% in Q1 2019 and from 12% OF 18-30 buyers in Q1 2018 to 15% of the same age in Q1 2019 is an emphasis on the health of Dubai as a whole.”

The leading real estate company have reported an increase in transaction across all of their departments. As well as an increase in sales and rentals Allsopp & Allsopp report a rise in Property Management portfolios of 42% compared to Q1 of 2018 with Mortgage transactions experiencing a massive 130% increase. 

Allsopp says “An increasing number of our registering tenants are looking for a managed unit. It eliminates the stresses of trying to contact a landlord for any mishaps that may arise within the property. There are so many aspects of property management that are beneficial to the tenant and the landlord such as the highly detailed check-in and check-out report which includes photographs taken before and after the tenancy, dispute resolution and fully comprehensive financial reporting for the landlord.  As a result of such benefits, we have seen a lot more landlords looking into getting their properties managed.”

Allsopp & Allsopp’s Finance buyers have increased from 53% in Q1 of 2018 compared to 62% in Q1 of 2019 and secondary market sales have also increased by 21%. The majority of mortgage bought properties through the company are sold to end-user buyers, typically families or young couples looking to settle in Dubai.  As a result of the increase in finance buyers, Allsopp & Allsopp have expanded their mortgage team extensively to keep in line with demand as buyers are taking advantage of the attractive prices within the Dubai property market and making the necessary steps to buy their first home in the Emirate.

The growing real estate company reports a trend of more tenants paying in multiple cheques and a decline in the company’s paying employees rent in only 1 cheque.

Lewis Allsopp explains “Gone are the days of companies paying for their employee’s rent in one cheque. As a matter of fact, 73% of Allsopp & Allsopp rental transactions were paid in multiple cheques. We have also seen a decrease from 7% of company rented properties in Q1 of 2018 to 4% in Q1 in 2019.”
