The questions that make an investment decision in Dubai difficult are almost the same for everyone. We ask them of the developer and the market on your behalf, and get the answers in writing.
Our way of working rests on three principles: working to your budget and strategy, transparent advisory and experience earned in the field. We explain what each of them means in the commitment section on the home page.
This page covers the practical side: below, in a single table, are the six questions that hold investors back and the answer we give to each.
What holds investors back is not bad intent but unanswered questions. We answer each one clearly.
| Topic | The open question | Our clear answer |
|---|---|---|
| Yield | "Does the 9% rental yield in the listing go into my pocket?" | No — that is a gross figure, before service charges Rental yield guide → |
| Service charge | "How much is the service charge, and how much will it rise?" | Service charge terms are set out in the sales agreement. Why do service charges rise? → |
| Purchase cost | "What comes on top of the list price?" | The items differ between off-plan and resale. Total Cost breakdown → |
| Security | "Where does my money go before construction is finished?" | It is paid into the developer's DLD-supervised escrow account Payment plans guide → |
| Project choice | "Why are you recommending this project to me?" | Projects are filtered by your goal, budget and time horizon before being presented to you Project portfolio → |
| Process | "How much time do I have to decide?" | Some special opportunities require moving quickly. We tell you explicitly when that is the case. |
