The Challenges of Finding Housing in Dubai
Finding a home in Dubai can be overwhelming, especially for newcomers. Here are some common challenges expats face, as shared in customer interviews:
1. Old or Poor-Quality Housing
Many expats report encountering outdated properties with maintenance issues such as mold, broken air conditioning, or poor cleanliness.
“I struggled with old buildings and inconvenient locations, where even paying utility bills was a hassle.” — Dewaal, South Africa
2. Trust Issues with Landlords
Dealing with landlords is another pain point. Customers shared concerns about transparency, hidden fees, and difficulty in communication.
“I had trust issues. My first apartment was booked online without seeing it in person, and it turned out to be a bad experience.” — Adika, Kazakhstan
3. High Costs and Limited Flexibility
Expats often feel pressured to commit to long-term leases without understanding all the terms, leaving little room for flexibility.
“I wasn’t ready to sign a long-term contract immediately. I needed a short-term option.” — Maria, Russia
These challenges can make settling in Dubai more stressful than it needs to be. That’s where Colife steps in.
