The exact home
Community, subcommunity, building or villa type, plot, internal size, floor plan, outlook, condition, alterations, occupancy and access shape the comparison.
Private home review
What is your Dubai property really competing with?
A useful market appraisal begins with your exact home—not an area average or an instant number. I review the property, the relevant evidence and the way it would enter today’s market.

The review
Four comparisons before a price conversation.
Each source answers a different question. None should be treated as a shortcut around the property itself.
Registered sales
Relevant DLD-registered sale records can show completed evidence for a stated period. They are not current asking prices, and broad area records may not be like-for-like.
Current competition
Homes currently offered for sale show what a buyer can choose today. An asking price is a seller’s position, not proof of a completed value.
The launch decision
Your timing, presentation, access and likely buyer affect how the home should enter the market and how feedback should be interpreted.
Registered-sales source: Dubai Land Department Real Estate Data, checked 28 August 2026. Any appraisal must state its data period, filters and limitations.
The limit
An appraisal is a reasoned range, not a certificate or a promise.
This private review is an indicative market appraisal for a possible sale. It is not a Dubai Land Department valuation certificate, a bank valuation or a substitute for an accredited valuer where a formal report is required.
- Purpose
- Clarify the likely comparison set and a sensible launch discussion.
- Point in time
- Evidence and competition need a clear review date because conditions change.
- Formal route
- Check whether the report you need should use DLD’s Property Valuation service or an approved valuation company.
