Three years on: has Dubai lived up to expectations?
Sven Nys has been investing in property in Dubai for three years. So how does he look back on that decision today?
Three years ago he took his first steps as a property investor in Dubai, together with Best Luxury Properties. Now he returns to Dubai to see his investments up close, to look at how the city has developed and to take stock together with Guy.
In this episode, Senne Verschueren, property advisor in Lommel, welcomes two guests: Sven Nys and Guy Penders, CEO and founder of Best Luxury Properties.
Together they go through the full investment track, from the first doubts and decisions to his investments in ready property and off-plan projects in Dubai. Sven explains how, in his case, the rental income from his ready property contributes to the payments on his off-plan investments, how he views the market today and whether he ever has concerns.
