One conversation, every developer that matters — so the unit is chosen for you, not for the developer.

  • Binghatti
  • Danube Properties
  • Sobha Realty
  • Emaar
  • Damac
  • Ellington Properties
  • Aldar
  • Nakheel

Each developer sells its own stock at its own price. Our job is the comparison across them — price per square foot, payment plan, delivery record, service charge, rental evidence — and the honest call on which one, or none.

For a UK buyer, plainly

No fee to you

The developer pays our commission. You pay developer price — the same price as walking into their sales centre, with our underwriting on top.

No UK stamp duty

A Dubai purchase carries no UK SDLT. Dubai Land Department charges a 4% transfer fee, often split or absorbed on launches.

Payment plans

Typically 10–20% to reserve, then monthly or milestone instalments through the build — 60/40 and 70/30 plans are common, some run past handover.

A dollar asset

The dirham is pegged to the US dollar. For a sterling investor that's currency diversification, not just a property.

Tax, plainly

0% income and capital gains tax in the UAE. If you're UK tax-resident, UK tax still applies to your worldwide income — we'll say so every time, and you should take advice.

Residency

Property of AED 2m+ can qualify for a 10-year Golden Visa. Worth knowing; never the reason to buy.

How it runs

Six steps from brief to keys and tenants.

Start

Brief

Capital, timeframe, income or growth, personal or company. Fifteen minutes.

Then

Shortlist

Two or three units across developers that fit — floor, view, layout and price per sq ft called by us, not the sales floor.

Then

Reserve

Expression of interest and booking deposit direct with the developer. You're buying from them; we're beside you.

Then

SPA & plan

Sale and purchase agreement, DLD registration (Oqood), payment schedule locked in writing.

Then

Build

Milestone updates through construction. Escrow-protected payments under UAE law.

Finish

Handover & let

Snagging, title, then furnished and let — short- or long-term — through a management partner if you want it hands-off.

The risks, before the brochure

Delivery

Off-plan completes late more often than on time. Buy from developers with a delivery record, and plan for a delay.

Supply

Dubai builds fast. Location, developer and product matter more than the headline yield in a brochure.

Exit

Resale before handover is possible but not guaranteed liquid. Buy what you'd be happy to hold.

Costs after

Service charges (per sq ft, annually), management fees and furnishing all come off the gross yield. We underwrite net.

We do not guarantee returns, values or rental income. Property carries risk; take independent tax and legal advice. How we behave →
