How I helpClarity before
Clarity before
you commit.
Every shortlist answers the six questions buyers actually ask, with official sources you can check yourself.
What should I buy?
I match properties to your budget, goals and buying timeline. Living in it, renting it out and qualifying for a Golden Visa point to different homes, so we start with what the property has to do for you.
Which project should I choose?
I compare suitable projects and developers and set out the advantages and drawbacks of each. Before an off plan project reaches your shortlist, I check its registration and construction progress with DLD.
DLD Project Status EnquiryWhat will it actually cost?
Purchase costs, payment milestones, service charges and ownership expenses, explained in AED for every option. Yearly service charges come from the official DLD index, so running costs are not a surprise.
DLD Service Charge IndexDoes the investment make sense?
I compare rental income scenarios against the full costs, with the assumptions written down and the risks named, including what the numbers look like if rents soften as they did in parts of Dubai in 2026.
Which unit is better?
Two units in the same tower can perform very differently. I compare layout, floor, views, orientation and likely tenant appeal across the units you are actually choosing between.
How do I manage the purchase?
I coordinate viewings, developer questions, documents and next steps, from reservation to Oqood or title deed, whether you are in Dubai or buying from overseas.
About Naveen
More about me
Straight advice for buying in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
I'm Naveen, a property consultant. Dubai is my home market, and I work from the Almirax Properties sales centre in the Tamani Arts Building, Business Bay. Through Almirax's Abu Dhabi offices I also cover Aldar's communities in the capital.
My job is simple to describe and detailed to do. Whether you want to buy property in Dubai to live in, to rent out or to secure a Golden Visa, I shortlist homes that fit your budget, check the developer and the service charges, and show you every fee before you sign. For off plan, that means confirming the project's escrow account and build progress on Dubai REST. For resale, it means comparing recent transfer prices rather than asking prices.
I help UAE residents and buyers from the UK, India, Pakistan, Europe and beyond, including first time Dubai buyers. If you are looking for a real estate agent, Dubai rewards buyers who ask hard questions, and I would rather answer them now than after you have paid a deposit.
Consulting me costs you nothing. There is no consultation fee and no commission payable to me. Property purchase and third-party costs, such as the 4% DLD transfer fee, the trustee fee and any mortgage fees, are separate and I set them out in AED before you decide.
I will never promise guaranteed returns or tell you prices only go up. What I will do is give you the numbers, the trade offs and a clear plan, so you can buy property in Dubai with confidence. I also walk you through the Dubai Land Department process step by step, so nothing on transfer day comes as a surprise.

Free first call
Tell me your budget, goals and timeline on WhatsApp or a video call. I explain the rules that apply to you, from mortgages to visas, and we agree a clear brief together.
Shortlist and checks
I send homes that fit, with transfer prices, service charges and, for off plan, escrow and build progress from Dubai REST, plus a full cost sheet in AED for each option.
Offer and contracts
I negotiate the price and terms, then prepare the DLD contracts or the developer's sale agreement, explaining each clause, deposit and deadline in plain English before you sign anything at all.
Payments and registration
Payments go through DLD's approved channels or the project escrow account. I arrange the developer NOC, any mortgage paperwork and the Oqood or transfer appointment, whether you attend in person or remotely.
Title deed and keys
Your title deed is issued electronically at transfer, or your Oqood certificate arrives by email for off plan. At handover I help with final checks and, if you plan to let, introduce Almirax's property operations team.
International buyers
Buying from overseas
You do not need to live in the UAE to own here. Foreign nationals can hold freehold property in Dubai's designated areas, with no age limit and a title deed issued in their own name. DLD lets non-residents complete a transfer with a passport, and its remote sale process means you can sign without flying in.
What changes by country is the money. UK, US and Pakistani buyers should start with my guide to buying as a foreigner, covering fees, power of attorney and non-resident mortgages. Indian residents work within the RBI's USD 250,000 a year LRS limit and 20% TCS on remittances above ₹10 lakh, so I wrote a separate guide for buying from India.

Market snapshot
Dubai property prices by area
The market in 2025 and 2026
2025 was a record year. DLD reported AED 917 billion of real estate transactions, up 20%, and Cavendish Maxwell put average residential prices up 12.1%, with off plan homes making up 73% of residential sales.
2026 is different. After the regional conflict early in the year, ValuStrat measured prices down 4% quarter on quarter in Q2, about 10% below late February. Sales from January to September were above AED 380 billion, about 23% lower than a year earlier yet still the second best nine months on record. Savills reported rents down 10% to 13% year on year in Dubai Marina, Business Bay and JVC in Q3.
For buyers, that means more room to negotiate and less pressure to rush. I track the numbers area by area on my Dubai property prices page.
What will it cost on top?
Typical Dubai buying costs on a ready home. Off plan buyers pay the 4% DLD fee through Oqood instead of the transfer.
Buying through Naveen: no consultation fee and no commission payable to him.
Fees per DLD's published schedule. Bank arrangement and valuation fees vary by lender and are not included.

Questions
Frequently asked.
What does a property consultant do for a buyer?
I shortlist homes, run the checks, negotiate the price, prepare the contracts and manage registration until the title deed or Oqood is in your name.
What is in the free shortlist?
After a free conversation about your budget, goals and timeline, I send 3 to 5 suitable options with their purchase costs, payment commitments, service charges and key trade-offs. There is no fee and no obligation to buy.
Do I pay you a commission?
No. There is no consultation fee and no commission payable to me, so consulting or hiring me costs you nothing. Property purchase and third-party costs, such as the 4% DLD transfer fee, the trustee fee and any mortgage fees, are separate.
What does buying cost on top of the price?
On a ready home bought in cash through me, plan for roughly 4.3% to 5.5%, depending on the price: the 4% DLD transfer fee, the trustee fee and small title deed and NOC fees. Mortgage costs and yearly service charges come on top.
Can buying property get me a UAE visa?
Yes. ICP grants a 10 year Golden Visa for property worth at least AED 2 million. Dubai's two year investor visa has no minimum value for a sole owner of a completed home.
Is 2026 a good time to buy?
It is calmer than 2025: ValuStrat put Q2 prices about 10% below late February, giving buyers room to negotiate. Nobody can promise where prices go next.
Do you also cover Abu Dhabi?
Yes. I advise on Aldar communities on Yas, Saadiyat, Reem and Al Raha, plus Aldar's Dubai projects, and confirm Abu Dhabi's 2% registration fee for each purchase.
