Alternative home ownership options: Shared ownership and rent-to-own possible?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Exploring various options for alternative home ownership in the GCC region (starting in the UAE).

Does anyone know if the following ownership structures are possible?

- Shared ownership between a company and an individual: the company owns part of the home's equity.

- Rent-to-own: the tenant gains part of the home's equity while they rent it.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

In the UAE, it is possible to establish shared ownership arrangements between a company and an individual for a residential property.

However, setting up such arrangements requires careful legal structuring to define each party's rights and responsibilities.

As for rent-to-own options, they do exist in the UAE, but they are not as common as traditional rental agreements.

These agreements typically involve a portion of the rent being credited towards the future purchase of the property.
