Property management in Dubai
Your property, attentively managed: tenants, service charges and reporting handled on your behalf, with our team in Dubai keeping you informed at every stage.
Attentive management, wherever you are
We take a property from handover to income and keep it there. Furnished where furnishing is needed, let to a tenant we have screened, with the accounts and the paperwork maintained on your behalf throughout.
Our team in Dubai oversees the property in your place, and you receive a statement you can check yourself, wherever in the world you are.
From keys to income
- 01Handover and snagging
We inspect the property on your behalf at handover, list every defect and hold the developer to fixing them before the unit is accepted in your name.
- 02Furnishing
You choose the level: a package priced to earn its cost back in rent, or your own selections if you prefer to furnish it yourself.
- 03Letting
Tenants are screened before they are presented to you, and once agreed, the contract is registered with Ejari to protect the tenancy from the start.
- 04Income and reporting
Rent is collected, service charges and maintenance are settled, and you receive a statement clear enough to hand straight to your own accountant.
Two ways to earn
A twelve-month contract is the quieter choice: one tenant, one contract, and an income you can predict. A holiday let can earn more in the right building and the right location, with returns that call for closer management and a higher standard of furnishing.
- Long lets suit a building away from the tourist strip, for an income that asks little of you
- Holiday lets suit the waterfront and the centre, and call for a licence, a higher standard of furnishing and closer attention
- You are advised which of the two suits your building, even where that is the option that earns less
Every detail accounted for
Every tenancy is registered with the authority, giving your tenant access to utilities and giving you a contract you can enforce.
Billed yearly by the building and due whether or not the unit is let, the service charge is tracked on your behalf so it is settled well ahead of any sale or renewal.
Maintenance below an amount agreed with you upfront is arranged directly and reported afterwards; above it, you receive a quote first.
Income and expenditure are set out in statements your own accountant can use directly, without translation.
Questions owners ask
What does management cost?
Management is charged as a percentage of the rent we collect: a standard percentage for a long let, and a higher percentage for a holiday let, where the work is continuous. The figure is put in writing before you commit, and nothing appears on your bill that you have not already seen.
Do I have to use you to buy in order to use you to manage?
We manage properties bought through another agent as readily as those bought through us.
Who holds the tenant’s money?
Rent is collected into an account in your name, or paid through to you on a schedule agreed between us, and held with us no longer than the process requires.
What happens if a tenant stops paying?
Arrears are pursued on your behalf, and where the matter is not resolved directly, the registered contract allows it to proceed through the rental dispute process.
Can you manage a property I have not bought yet?
Yes, and it often serves you better: knowing how a building lets before you buy in it can inform which unit you choose.
