Property valuation in Dubai
We tell you what your property is really worth, based on completed transactions rather than wishful listings. The initial valuation is free of charge and without obligation.
A valuation answers one question: what would this property realistically sell for today. We base it on completed transactions recorded with the Dubai Land Department, not on prices someone has put in a listing. You get a range and the reasoning behind it, not a single round number with nothing to back it up.

A listing price is not value
On the portals it is easy to see high figures and take them for the value of your property. A listing, though, shows only what someone wants to receive, not what they actually achieved on a sale.
Market value comes from transactions that genuinely closed, not from prices sitting online.
- Asking prices can be inflated and stay unchanged for months, despite there being no buyers.
- Value comes from the prices at which comparable transactions actually closed.
- In many communities the history of these transactions is available, so a valuation can be built on facts.
This way you start from a figure grounded in facts, not in what the neighbours wish for. Send us the details of the property and we will check the prices at which comparable transactions actually closed.
What we take into account
A specific figure does not come from a single factor. It comes from the location, the property itself, its condition and what is happening in the market at the time.
We go through these elements one by one, so the valuation has clear reasoning behind it, rather than being a round sum with nothing to back it up.
- The location and the specific building or community.
- The floor area, the layout, the floor level or the plot, and the aspect.
- The condition and the standard of finish.
- The level of service charge and the running costs.
- Current demand and the pace of sales in the area.
We discuss each of these points with you, so you know what raises and what lowers the price. Ask us for a valuation and we will translate them into a specific range for your property.
What a market valuation cannot replace
A market valuation has its limits, and it is better to know them from the start. We state them plainly, to avoid misunderstandings and false expectations.
It is an analysis to inform a decision to sell, not a formal document for a bank.
- It is a market valuation for a sale, not a formal bank valuation for a mortgage.
- It is not a promise of a price. The market and the pace of sales can change.
- With an unusual property, where comparables are hard to find, we also state the limits of the analysis.
You get a figure you can trust, along with what it rests on and what is not yet known. Let us know and we will explain the limits of such an analysis for your property.
Frequently asked questions.
What do you base a property valuation in Dubai on?
On completed transactions recorded with the Dubai Land Department for comparable properties, not on listing prices. We then add the condition, the standard, the charges and current demand.
Is the valuation chargeable?
The initial market valuation for a sale is free of charge and without obligation. You get a price range and the reasoning behind it.
How does your valuation differ from a bank valuation?
Our valuation is a market one, to inform a decision to sell. A bank valuation is a formal document prepared for a mortgage by a qualified valuer. They are two different things.
Why does the price on a portal differ from a valuation?
Because the price on a portal is what someone wants, not the price at which a transaction closed. Inflated listings can sit for months without a buyer.
