Comparisons
Compare your UAE property options, verdict first
Each comparison opens with a verdict: which option suits which kind of buyer.
What every comparison gives you
A verdict first
Which option suits which kind of buyer and plan, framed as fit rather than a winner.
The detail side by side
Each row states a fact or limit for both options, with a source on every fee, date and legal reference.
The checks before you reserve
The points to confirm with the developer, the regulator or your lawyer before you commit.
A next step that fits
Options for the side that suits you, or a shortlist you can share with family or advisers.
Find the UAE home that fits your plans.
Six commitments behind every consultation.
How the firm is paid, and why it matters to youA purchase this size deserves someone who shows you the full picture, including what could go wrong, before you commit a deposit.
Every cost before you commit
Total price, registration fees and each payment stage, set out in your own currency before you pay anything.
Honest about fit
Up to three options, and fewer if fewer fit. If off-plan does not suit your plans, you are told plainly.
A second opinion on any offer
Bring an offer from a developer or another agent and have its cost, payment plan and contract points checked before you commit.
Told how the firm is paid
Before you decide on anything, including whether a developer on your shortlist pays the firm.
Checks before you see a home
Registration, the project escrow account, the developer’s record and a current price, checked before a home reaches you.

Video, phone, WhatsApp or email in your time zone. Your details are used only to reply, and launch emails only if you ask.

Discuss next steps
Talk to an adviser about the options, what to verify independently and what reserving involves. There is no pressure to proceed.
Answers before you share any details.
If your question is not answered here, an adviser can go through it with you during a consultation.
It tells you which option suits which kind of buyer. Which one fits you depends on your budget, how long you can wait for handover, whether you plan to live in or let the home, and your home-country tax position. A consultation can apply the comparison to your plans.
Each page shows the date it was reviewed and cites its sources. Fees and procedures change, so check the official page for the emirate concerned before paying anything.
No. The developer comparison lists where each has launched homes, what it mainly builds, how it is owned and what public financial record exists. A developer covered on this site does not imply a partnership with it.
