With the pound currently nosediving against the dollar/dirham now is a great time for many foreigners to sell their Dubai units.
The pound this morning was 5.61 / £.
By the end of the year if prices have fallen further as predicted,plus sterling goes back up to say,6.2,then a unit worth for example 800.000dhs today for which you would get around £142.000,could be worth only £116.000 if prices fall only 10% and the rate goes to a 'normal' 6.2.
This scenario is true for sterling plus for any other currency out there which has weakened against the dollar/dirham.
If you are looking at your investment long term,then maybe this wont affect you.
If you are looking at it short term then I would look at selling now.
Even if prices made an amazing turnaround and actually went up 10%,this could be wiped out if the dollar/dirham weakened.
Bottom line is recognise the importance of the currency exchange rate and predictions for your currencies future value !
