  • Resale and rental demand

You see the numbers before the pitch

Every shortlist comes with recent sale prices in that building, annual service charges and a rent estimate from signed contracts, not asking prices. If a property doesn't add up, we say so.

Buy or let from anywhere

Live video viewings, digital signing and power of attorney support. You may not need to visit until you collect the keys.

Straight answers on off plan

Each developer's delivery history, how escrow protects your payments, and what happens if a project runs late.

From first call to keys in four clear steps.

For ready property, most purchases complete in four to eight weeks. Off plan bookings can be secured within days of a launch.

Yes. We offer live video viewings and digital signing, and can complete the transfer through a power of attorney. You only need to visit when you want to.

Property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify you for the 10 year Golden Visa, and lower values can qualify for other residence visas. Rules change, so we'll confirm current requirements for your case.

Payments for registered off plan projects go into a regulated escrow account, released as construction progresses. The real risks are delays and market changes, so we check each developer's delivery record first.

It depends on the community, the unit and how it's managed. We base every estimate on current signed contracts in that building, not asking rents, and show you the figures.

Well priced homes in popular communities often let within two to four weeks. We'll give you a realistic rent on our first call.

The deposit depends on the home and the tenancy agreement. We confirm the amount, payment terms and refund conditions before you sign.

The number of cheques is agreed with the landlord. We confirm the payment schedule, cheque dates and any effect on the rent before you sign.

Tenants usually pay 5% of the yearly rent plus VAT, as shown in our fees. Landlords receive a separate quote if they choose property management.
