How Buying With Us Works
No pressure, no surprises. Here is what happens between your first message and moving in.
Step 1 of 5
Tell us what you need
A 20-minute call about budget, communities and timing. We send a shortlist the same week, not a flood of listings.
Step 2 of 5
View with someone who knows the street
Your agent arranges viewings in person or by video, and tells you what the listing leaves out: flight paths, service charges, which side gets the sun.
Step 3 of 5
Agree the price and sign the Form F
We compare recent sales in the same building or cluster, negotiate for you and walk you through the sale agreement line by line.
Step 4 of 5
Mortgage, NOC and transfer
We coordinate the bank valuation, the developer’s No Objection Certificate and the trustee appointment, and send you a costed list of every fee.
Step 5 of 5
Keys, DEWA and moving in
Transfer day at the trustee office, then help with DEWA, chiller, community access cards and a snagging check before you move in.
How do I start searching for a property?
Use the search bar on the home page or the Properties page to filter by buy or rent, community, property type, bedrooms and budget. Open any listing to see the full details, save it to your account, or ask the listing agent to arrange a viewing.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Non-UAE nationals can buy freehold in designated areas, which include all five communities on this site. In Dubai the sale is registered with the Dubai Land Department; in Abu Dhabi with the Department of Municipalities and Transport. Rules differ slightly between the two emirates, so ask your agent before you make an offer.
What costs should I budget for on top of the price?
In Dubai, plan for the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, a registration trustee fee, an agency fee (usually 2% plus VAT), and mortgage fees if you borrow. Abu Dhabi has a 2% registration fee. As a rough guide, keep 6 to 7% of the price aside for costs.
Can I schedule a viewing?
Yes. Every listing has a "Request a showing" button. Choose a date and a time of day, in person or by video, and the listing agent will confirm within one working day. Viewings are free and there is no obligation.
How does rent work in the UAE?
Rent is quoted per year, which is how prices appear on this site. Landlords usually ask for payment by post-dated cheques, from one to four (sometimes twelve), plus a refundable security deposit of around 5% for unfurnished homes or 10% for furnished ones.
