Moroccan city guides
Investing in Marrakech or Agadir: how to compare the two markets
Two sought-after destinations, two different logics. A comparison framework based on use, not on promises of yield.
Services
Investment advice and location analysis
We analyse locations, property types, purchase prices, ancillary costs and possible usage scenarios, so that your decision rests on comparable information.
What need does this service meet?
Morocco is not a single, uniform market. A holiday apartment in Marrakech does not follow the same rules as a home let year-round in Rabat or a villa in Agadir. Before choosing a property, you need to choose a city, an area and a use that are consistent with your objectives.
How does the analysis work?
- Your objectives. Personal use, letting, holding period, tolerance for risk.
- Comparing markets. We set the cities we cover and their areas against your project.
- The full budget. Purchase price, acquisition costs, furnishing, service charges and recurring costs.
- Usage scenarios. Personal use, long-term let or short-term holiday let: the conditions, constraints and uncertainties of each scenario.
- Alternatives. We present several options and explain what sets them apart.
What you receive
An indicative assessment of the location, the price, the possible uses, the rental potential and the recurring costs, presented transparently, opportunities and risks included.
The limits of the service
Our assessments are indicative. They constitute neither a valuation, nor tax or financial advice, nor a promise of yield or capital gain. Rent and occupancy assumptions are scenarios, not forecasts. DACHMA Advisory acts as adviser, intermediary and coordinator. We do not provide legal, tax, notarial, financing, architectural or engineering services: these are carried out, under their own responsibility, by independent, duly authorised professionals whom you instruct.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do you quote yields?
No. We present scenarios with their assumptions and their uncertainties. No yield and no increase in value is guaranteed.
What data do you rely on?
On the public data available, such as the Real Estate Asset Price Index of Bank Al-Maghrib and the ANCFCC, and on the comparison of properties actually on offer. We always state the source and the limits of each piece of information.
Who advises me on tax?
A tax adviser or chartered accountant, in Morocco and in your country of residence. We can coordinate these professionals, but we do not give tax advice.
