FAQ

Our valuations incorporate recent comparable sales in your specific community and building, current market conditions and transaction volumes, property size, layout, and specifications, condition including any required maintenance or upgrades, floor level, views, and tower reputation (for apartments), and location-specific factors including proximity to metro, schools, and amenities.

A professional surveyor confirms property condition and specifications. We provide a written breakdown explaining how we arrived at our valuation. See how cash estimates are calculated for full methodology.

Because we provide immediate cash purchase eliminating financing risks, complete on your timeline, cover all legal and transfer fees, and purchase properties in any condition, our estimates typically reflect a discount to current market value. The exact level depends on property condition, completion timeframe, and transaction complexity.

Many sellers find the net outcome comparable to conventional sales when accounting for estate agent commissions (typically 2% in Dubai), several months of service charges and utilities during extended marketing, mortgage interest payments during sale periods, and the risk of deals collapsing.

Initial indications are provided within 24 hours of first contact, often sooner for straightforward properties. Following property inspection, formal written estimates are typically delivered within 48-72 hours.

We acquire apartments and penthouses across Dubai communities, villas and townhouses across all developments and price ranges, studio apartments through multi-bedroom units, off-plan properties approaching handover or recently completed, and properties requiring cosmetic updates or substantial renovation. See our property-specific guides for apartments, villas, and hotel apartments.

Yes. We regularly purchase tenanted properties and can complete with sitting tenants remaining in occupancy. We coordinate sensitively with tenants, handle tenancy transitions in accordance with Dubai tenancy law, and manage deposit transfers. This eliminates the need for sellers to secure vacant possession before sale. See our tenanted property guide for more detail.

Yes. Property condition does not preclude our interest, although it naturally influences the valuation. We acquire properties in immaculate condition, those requiring cosmetic updates or modernisation, those needing substantial renovation, and properties with building defects or maintenance issues. Our valuations reflect the work required and associated costs.

We can acquire off-plan properties approaching handover or recently completed, subject to developer assignment policies. Off-plan purchases earlier in construction can be more complex due to payment plan structures and developer restrictions; however, we evaluate all scenarios and advise on feasibility. See our guides on selling off-plan and selling before handover.

Standard documentation includes Emirates ID for all registered owners, original title deed or title deed copy, mortgage redemption statement if applicable (we can request this on your behalf), No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer, service charge clearance certificate or recent statements, property registration documents and floor plans, and passport copies.

For tenanted properties, you will additionally need the current tenancy contract, tenant contact information, and security deposit details. We provide a checklist and assist with obtaining any documents you do not have readily available. See our documents checklist guide.

Standard procedure. Your legal representative coordinates with your bank to obtain mortgage redemption statements and organises settlement from the sale proceeds on completion day. The bank releases the title deed, completion occurs, and the balance after mortgage redemption transfers to you. We handle mortgaged properties routinely. See our mortgaged property guide.

Outstanding service charges are settled from sale proceeds at completion – standard practice for any Dubai property sale. Your legal representative ensures all arrears are cleared, obtaining the necessary clearance certificate that enables the DLD transfer to proceed.

Yes. We assist with obtaining missing documents, resolving title issues, coordinating with developers for NOC issuance, and liaising with banks regarding mortgage matters. Our experience with complex situations enables us to navigate documentation challenges that might derail conventional sales. See our sale fallen through guide for common issues and solutions.

Yes. We provide completely off-market, discreet sales with no for-sale boards, no public listings on property portals, no estate agent viewings alerting neighbours or building residents, and minimal property visits beyond the professional survey. Where appropriate, we can also market privately to verified buyers.

Typically just the professional surveyor, and occasionally one additional specialist if technical evaluation is required. No public viewings, no multiple buyer visits, and no extended disruption to your occupancy or privacy.

We collect only essential information required for transactions, store data securely in accordance with UAE data protection requirements, share information only with parties directly involved in your transaction (legal representatives, surveyors, Dubai Land Department), and never use your information for marketing purposes or share with third parties without explicit permission.

We buy property across all major Dubai communities. Our most active areas include Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, Dubai Hills Estate, JVC, Arabian Ranches, JLT, DIFC, Dubai Creek Harbour, The Springs, The Meadows, and Damac Hills.

See all 26 area pages for community-specific information.

Yes. We buy across all property types including villa communities like Arabian Ranches, The Springs, The Meadows, Tilal Al Ghaf, Damac Hills, and Jumeirah Golf Estates, as well as apartment and tower communities. See our guides on selling a villa and selling an apartment.

Timelines are primarily driven by property type and transaction complexity rather than location. However, NOC processing times vary by developer, which can affect the schedule. Each area page includes community-specific detail on what affects timing in that location.
