Properties for sale in Doha
Buy Property in Doha
Properties for sale in Doha make up the majority of properties for sale in Qatar. It is more common for investors to buy properties in the capital; many will even purchase brand new properties off plan.
You can buy properties in Doha either as freehold, where the title deed is held by the owner indefinitely, or leasehold, where the property can be held by the owner for a maximum of 99 years.
There are many reasons to buy a property in Doha other than the most obvious: to live in it. There are other benefits, such as for investment purposes, and Qatar is a great place to invest, as the projections for return in the coming years are pretty lucrative.
Property for sale in Doha for foreigners is also appealing to non-Qataris because when you buy property in Qatar and get residency as a benefit with a purchase over a specific limit. Non-Qataris who purchase property over 730,000 QAR (approximately $200,000) will acquire a temporary residence permit, valid as long as the property is held.
Those investing a more significant amount to the tune of 3.65 million QAR (about $1 million) will gain a permanent residency. A permanent residency has further benefits, including education and health care. For this price you could either buy a villa in Doha or a large 3 bedroom or 4 bedroom apartment in The Pearl.
