Ellington Propertiesis a company known in Dubai for design led residential development. Minimalist architecture, care over interior detail and the quality of the shared areas are what set the brand apart. Ellington schemes also hold their ground well on the resale market thanks to their design value.
Why Ellington House?
Dubai Hills Estate is one of the districts positioned as a settled place to live rather than a speculative one. The golf course, Dubai Hills Mall and the park network are already open. The boutique scale of Ellington House means a less crowded life and more manageable shared areas than towers with hundreds of apartments.
- Dubai Hills Mall a few minutes away
- Direct link to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay along Al Khail Road
- A short drive to Dubai Marina and JBR beach
- Motorway links to Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum Airport
- A network of parks and cycle paths within the district
Daily life
Dubai Hills Mall covers most needs, from everyday shopping to restaurants. The golf course and the park network offer a markedly calmer daily rhythm than Dubai’s dense tower districts. Schools and healthcare are planned within the masterplan.
Rental yield and tenant profile
The tenant profile in the district is mostly families and upper middle income professionals. This profile stays a long time and looks after the apartment. Because no income tax is charged on rental income in Dubai, the gap between gross and net is markedly narrower than in the United Kingdom.
Communal areas and specification
- Swimming pool
- Fitness facilities
- Golf course view
- Landscaped gardens and social areas
- Generous balconies
- Minimalist interiors and high quality materials
Who is buying?
Families buying in Dubai to live, and investors who put design quality first. Because property purchases above a certain amount open the door to a residence application, this district is particularly attractive to families.
Total cost: what you actually pay when you buy at Ellington House
There is no stamp duty in Dubai; its equivalent is the Land Department (DLD) transfer fee of 4% of the sale price. The table below is indicative, based on the entry price.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Property price | AED 1,000,000 |
| Land Department transfer fee (DLD, 4%) | AED 40,000 |
| Registration and administration fees | about AED 4,200 |
| Approximate total | AED 1,044,200 |
With a loan there are mortgage registration and bank charges, and if you let the property, management commission. For purchases on the United Kingdom side, use our purchase cost calculator page.
What to Check Before You Decide
- Rental yields in Dubai can move with the district and the wave of completions; rents can come under pressure when new supply concentrates.
- The service charge per square metre can be high on schemes rich in shared areas. Ask for the current rate before buying.
- Residence rules can change; do not base your purchase decision on that expectation alone.
- Currency risk: if your income is in sterling or lira, take your dirham obligations into account.
How does Ellington House compare with the alternatives?
- Skyterraces by Binghatti: entry into Dubai on a lower budget.
- Belmont Residences: another scheme by Ellington.
- Damac Tower: for anyone wanting a Dubai developer’s signature in London.
We can work out together which project fits your goal, judged on budget, intended use and exit plan. We can also produce a table setting Dubai and London side by side on tax and yield.
