How I can help
Each direction starts with the same thing — a clear understanding of your goal — and then goes into the questions specific to it. Commercial property is the main focus; I also work on residential purchases, sales and rentals. I’m based in Dubai and work across the UAE, with requests in other countries considered individually.
Buying
A purchase starts with your goal, not with what the market is pushing this month.
Focus
Brief Shortlist Terms Costs
What we go through
- We put the brief in writing: purpose, budget, timing and the constraints that really matter.
- We compare options on the same criteria, side by side, instead of one presentation at a time.
- We go through the payment terms and the questions that still need checking before a decision.
- We look at the full cost picture — the purchase itself and what it costs to own afterwards.
Selling
A sale begins with an honest conversation about price and how the property is presented.
Focus
Pricing Positioning Materials Process
What we go through
- We discuss the asking price against comparable offers and what buyers will compare it with.
- We decide how to present the property and who it is most likely to appeal to.
- We prepare the materials a serious buyer will ask for.
- We agree how viewings, offers and communication will run. Timelines depend on the market, so none are promised.
Commercial property
Offices, retail units, warehouses and other commercial space — the main focus of my work.
Focus
Purpose of the space Specification Entry price Running costs Tenancy terms
What we go through
- We start with what the space has to do: the business in it, the traffic it needs and the people who will use it.
- We check the specification against that purpose — layout, floor loading, power, access, parking and what the building permits.
- We compare the entry price with similar offers nearby and list the costs that sit between gross rent and what remains.
- For an occupied property we go through the tenancy terms: the tenant, the rent, the length of the term and what happens at the end of it.
- Every calculation comes with its assumptions written down, and none of them is a promise about the future.
Legal, tax and licensing questions are outside the scope of this service and belong with licensed specialists.
Residential property
Apartments, townhouses and villas — for living in or for letting out.
Focus
Area Building Layout Cost of ownership
What we go through
- We talk through how you want to live, or who the likely tenant is if the property is for letting.
- We check the area as a resident would: daily routes, shops, green space and places for sport.
- We look at the building and the layout with real use in mind — light, noise, storage and how the rooms work together.
- We go through service charges and the running costs of ownership, not only the price.
Renting
Renting a home or a commercial space, or letting out a property you own.
Focus
Requirements Shortlist Viewings Contract terms
What we go through
- We define the requirements: location, size, budget and the dates that matter.
- We select options that match and view the ones worth the time.
- We go through the terms of the contract in plain language — the rent, the deposit, the length of the term and what each side is responsible for.
- For letting out, we discuss the asking rent, how the property is presented and what kind of tenant it will attract.
Contracts and legal questions should be checked with licensed specialists; I can help you prepare the questions for them.
How we start
A clear sequence, at a pace that suits you.
-
Step 1. We discuss your brief
Goal, budget, timing and preferences.
-
Step 2. We set the criteria
Areas, property type and the constraints that really matter.
-
Step 3. We compare options
Viewings, terms, costs and the questions that still need checking.
-
Step 4. We agree next steps
Negotiation and coordination within the agreed scope of work.
Where the scope ends
I don’t provide legal, visa, tax or financial advice. When these questions come up, they should be checked with licensed specialists, and I’ll make sure they are on your list before any decision.
