Dubai property valuation
A written estimate of what your home would sell for now, built from recorded transactions in your building. Free, in 24 hours, prepared with a licensed partner.
The short answer
A property valuation in Dubai is a written estimate of what your home would sell for now, based on recorded transactions for comparable units. Plainly Property prepares one free within 24 hours with a RERA-licensed partner. Plainly Property is an information service, not a brokerage, and holds no licence itself.
What does the written report contain?
Six things, all of them specific. It is a document you can put in front of a buyer, a lender or a family member — not a paragraph of encouragement.
-
Comparable transactions from your own building, with dates and sizes — the evidence the range is built from. -
Floor, view and layout adjustments, each stated rather than folded silently into a single number. -
Current comparable supply: how many units like yours are listed in the same building right now.
- Comparable transactions Recorded in the last six months in your building, with dates and sizes.
- An indicative value range With the assumptions that produced it written out rather than folded in.
- Price per square foot For your unit, against the community median.
- The adjustments applied Floor, view and layout — each one stated, and why.
- Current comparable supply Listed units of the same type in the same building.
- Who prepared it The name and ORN of the licensed party, attributed to them.
How is a Dubai property valuation produced?
Three methods are used in Dubai and they are not interchangeable. Which one you need depends entirely on who is going to read the result.
| Method | What it uses | When you need it | Typical cost | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comparable sales | Recorded transactions for similar units in the same building or community | Deciding whether to sell, or sense-checking an agent’s figure | Free with Plainly Property | Within 24 hours |
| Income method | Achievable rent, occupancy and running costs, capitalised into a value | An investment unit that is let, or one being appraised as an income asset | ||
| DLD-certified valuation | Physical inspection by a RERA-registered valuer, issued as a certificate | Golden visa applications, mortgage approval, court and inheritance matters |

Plainly Property holds no licence and issues no valuation. It explains how the figure is produced and routes the work to a named licensed party, whose registration number is published below, attributed to them.
That distinction is the whole arrangement, and it is stated here rather than left for a reader to infer.

Questions people ask
Answer first, then the detail. Every figure quoted here is the same figure the page above it publishes, with the same source.
How much does a property valuation cost in Dubai?
The written report Plainly Property arranges is free to the owner. A DLD-certified valuation, which is the type required for a golden visa application or a court matter, is charged separately by the licensed valuer — see how the three valuation methods compare.
How long does a Dubai property valuation take?
The written report is delivered by email within 24 hours of the request. A DLD-certified valuation takes longer because it involves an inspection and a certificate issued by the Land Department.
Is Plainly Property a licensed property brokerage?
No. Plainly Property is an independent information resource and holds no RERA licence, no BRN and no ORN. Every valuation and any subsequent sale is carried out by a named RERA-licensed partner brokerage, whose registration number is published on this page attributed to them.
Do I need to give a phone number to get a figure?
A phone number is needed for the written report, because the report is delivered and then discussed directly — the 15-minute callback is the point of it. Nothing else on this site is behind a form: every table, cost and checklist is published on the page.
What is the difference between a valuation and an agent estimate?
A valuation is a documented estimate built from recorded comparable transactions and stated assumptions. An agent estimate is an opinion of what a unit might list at, and it is not evidence. Lenders, courts and the golden visa route accept a DLD-certified valuation, not an agent estimate.
Will requesting a valuation put my property on the market?
No. Requesting a valuation does not list your property anywhere. Plainly Property does not advertise property and does not publish listings.
