Service charges in Dubai are expected to rise by 5-10% in 2025 due to increased operational costs such as maintenance, district cooling charges, and high utility costs. The highest service charges are at premium developments like Bulgari Resorts and Residence, while the lowest are in areas like Jumeirah Village Circle and Dubai South. Older buildings often face higher increases due to the need for more frequent maintenance, while newer developments may see smaller rises. Inflation, rising materials and labor costs, and regulatory compliance are additional factors driving the increase. Service charges influence property decisions, but factors like location, return on investment, and lifestyle offerings are usually more important for buyers. Some landlords may raise rents to offset these rising charges, depending on market demand. (ICE DUBAI)
