Britons Flee Dubai, Seeking London Luxury

0:00On March 13, Britain's living in Dubai are heading back to the UK fast thanks to ongoing attacks from Iran. They're calling a state agent for luxury rentals in London, asking for four bedroom homes in spots like Kensington and Chelsea at 5,000 pounds, a week or more. Earlier this week, a drone attack sparked a fire in Dubai Cree Carver. Iran had Dubai International Airport on March 11, hurting four people. Even on March 13, drone debris damaged a building in the financial district, though no one was injured. Property experts report a surge in requests from anxious expats who saw Dubai as a safe haven. One agent is helping three clients from Dubai, including staff from a currency trading firm who want short term high inlets right away. Dubai drew wealthy brits with its tax perks and booming property market. Indian air numbers there doubled over the last decade, and last year saw record sales of ultra luxury homes worth $10 million or more.
