Dubai has significantly outpaced London in luxury home sales, recording three times as many transactions over $10 million in the first nine months of 2025. This dominance stems from robust price growth of 70% since late 2019 in premium communities, fueled by British buyers and Dubai’s appeal as a safe, tax-free haven with high rental yields.​

The emirate’s luxury market continues to thrive with branded residences from Bulgari to Bugatti, offering 6-8% yields that eclipse London’s 2-3.5%, alongside Golden Visa perks and political stability attracting global high-net-worth individuals. Meanwhile, London’s market faces challenges from taxes and slower appreciation, solidifying Dubai’s lead in super-prime real estate.
