Lets say I buy lease to hold (currently available for expats), qand I wanna sell say in 10 years, if the laws remain as is, can i sell to a national who has the right to freehold or not?

This would allow you to capture the allowance aswell. The contract requires a deed of title, therefore the property cannot be in your name as the employer will not pay a mortgage for you.
Does anyone know if you can purchase houses in UAE in a company name registered in another country? If no one knows, maybe they know someone who might know?
I have a flat for sale in Sharja - UAE which you can buy it in your name or in your company name what ever you prefer. this is ringo e-mail:azh92002@yahoo.com for more info.
