  • The short answer

    Every guide Plainly Property publishes, grouped by the question it answers: what a valuation is worth and who accepts it, what snagging costs and what it covers, whether short-letting beats a tenant, and what happens at handover. Thirteen in total, each one sourced and dated.

    Valuation

    What a unit is worth today, which valuation a lender or a visa application accepts, and what each one costs.

    Start with property valuation →
    • Valuation

      Dubai Property Valuation

      Get a written valuation of your Dubai property in 24 hours, based on Land Department transaction data for your building. Prepared with a RERA-licensed partner.

    • Valuation

      How Dubai Property Valuation Works

      Comparable sales, income method and DLD-certified valuation compared side by side, with what each one costs, how long it takes, and when you actually need which.

    • Valuation

      Golden Visa Property Valuation Dubai

      The golden visa route needs a DLD-certified valuation at AED 2 million or more. What counts, what does not, and how the certificate is issued.

    Snagging

    The pre-handover inspection: what it costs, what it covers, and the liability window it protects.

    Start with snagging →
    • Snagging

      Snagging Company Dubai

      Snagging in Dubai costs AED 666–999 for a typical apartment. The full defect checklist, the developer liability window, and what to do with the report you get.

    • Snagging

      Snagging Cost Dubai

      What snagging actually costs in Dubai, by unit size, from published rates. Studio to 5-bed villa, plus re-inspection fees most firms do not advertise.

    • Snagging

      Dubai Snagging Checklist

      The full room-by-room snagging checklist used at Dubai handovers, free to download. Covers MEP, joinery, waterproofing and the defects developers dispute most.

    • Snagging

      Dubai Defect Liability

      Developers carry a one-year defect liability and ten years on structure. What is covered, how to claim before it expires, and what happens if you miss it.

    Short-let

    Whether short-letting beats a tenant once the permit, the fees and the occupancy are counted.

    Start with holiday home management →
    • Short-let

      Holiday Home Management Dubai

      Holiday home operators in Dubai charge 15–25% of gross booking revenue. Compare the fee models, the DET permit you need, and when short-let beats a long-term tenant.

    • Short-let

      Short-Let vs Long-Term Rental Dubai

      Short-let grosses more and nets less. Occupancy, DET permit, tourism dirham, cleaning and management fees modelled side by side against a standard Ejari tenancy.

    • Short-let

      Dubai Holiday Home Permit

      You cannot legally short-let in Dubai without a DET holiday home permit. The documents, the fees, the renewal cycle and the penalties for operating without one.

    Handover & finance

    Taking delivery of a new unit, and how the borrowing around it is actually priced.

    Start with handover →
    • Handover & finance

      Dubai Handover Checklist

      The full handover sequence for a Dubai property: developer NOC, snagging, DEWA activation, Ejari, title deed. What to do in which order, and where people get stuck.

    • Handover & finance

      Dubai Mortgage Brokers

      Mortgage brokers in Dubai are paid 0.5–1% by the lender, not by you. When that is worth it, when going direct is cheaper, and what expats are quoted.

    • Handover & finance

      Non-Resident Mortgage Dubai

      Non-residents can borrow in Dubai at lower loan-to-value than residents. The current LTV caps, the banks that lend, and the documents required from overseas.

      No listing, no marketing

      Asking for a report does not put your property on the market. Plainly Property publishes no listings and holds no licence.
