Last updated 12 November 2026. ## What we do We help overseas buyers find, compare and purchase new property in the United Arab Emirates. That means two things. **We publish.** Every development, developer and area on this site has been researched against the developer's own material, the land department or regulator, and established news sources. Each page carries the date its facts were checked and links to the sources. **We advise.** When you are ready to look at real options, an adviser takes your brief, shortlists the developments that fit, and stays with the purchase from reservation to handover. ## Who we are UAE Property Agents is run by Omnia Capital Group and is part of the Omnia network, which works across the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Montenegro. We are Gulf specialists. **The people you deal with.** Our senior team is Guy, with more than 10 years in property, and Guj, with more than 20. They lead every client relationship. We are British-based, and we run the business to the standards you would expect of a well-run British firm: courteous, clear, punctual, and straight with you about what we do not know. Those are standards of service, not of nationality. Our clients buy from many countries, and each of them gets the same care. ## How we advise - **Our advisers are salaried.** They are not paid on commission, so they are not selling to survive. They have nothing to gain from steering you towards one property, rushing you, or selling you something that does not suit you. - **Information leads.** Before you decide you get the full breakdown: the price and its date, the payment plan stage by stage in dirhams, every cost of buying, and the developer's record. - **The whole market, on your side.** Our advice puts your interests first, and we look across the market rather than at one developer's stock. If a development does not suit your brief, we will say so. - **No chasing.** One adviser, in touch when there is something worth telling you. No stream of WhatsApp messages and no follow-up you did not ask for. - **No invented urgency.** If a deadline is real, we show you where it comes from. If it is not, we do not mention it. ## Property agents on the buyer's side We work as property agents for buyers in Dubai and across the UAE: we take your brief, compare developments from the whole market, check the developer's registration and record, and stay with the purchase through the payment plan to handover. In other words, advice and representation on your side of the purchase, not a sales desk for one developer. If you use a broker based in Dubai, check them before you share documents or pay anything. Brokers there must be registered with the Dubai Land Department and hold a broker card, and the office they work for must be licensed; both can be checked free on the Land Department's website or the Dubai REST app. Our guide to [choosing a property agent in Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/guides/choosing-a-property-agent-in-dubai) sets out the checks, what agents charge on resale and off-plan, and the questions worth asking. ## How we work The UAE is one of the most heavily marketed property markets in the world. Much of what a buyer reads is undated, unsourced, or written to close a sale. We try to do the opposite. - **Prices carry a date.** If a developer has not published a price, we say so instead of guessing. - **Payment schedules are shown in full**, in dirhams, for each unit type, with the registration fee where it actually falls due. - **Every development page has two lists**: what works, and what to weigh. If a project has a weak point, such as heavy supply nearby, a developer with a short record or a long wait to handover, it is on the page. - **We do not forecast prices or promise returns.** Where we quote a yield or a market figure, we say whether it is gross or net, where it came from and when. Our [editorial standards](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/about/editorial-standards) set this out in detail. ## How we are paid On an off-plan purchase, the developer pays us a commission when you buy. You pay the same price you would pay buying direct, and you pay us nothing. That is the standard arrangement across the UAE market, and it creates an obvious incentive: we are paid when you buy. We think the honest response is to say so, to publish the drawbacks of every development alongside its strengths, and to tell you when something does not suit your brief. If a purchase would ever involve a fee from you, we will tell you before you commit to anything. How our advisers are paid is a separate matter. They are salaried and are not paid on commission, so the person advising you does not depend on a sale, and is free to tell you when the right answer is to wait or to buy elsewhere. ## Who we work with Our clients come from around the world. Many live in the United Kingdom and Europe and are buying in the UAE for the first time: as an investment, as a second home, or ahead of a move. Our guides are written from that side of the transaction and cover [the buying process](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/guides/buying-property-in-dubai), [costs](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/guides/dubai-property-buying-costs), [finance](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/guides/non-resident-mortgages-uae), [visas](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/guides/uae-golden-visa-property) and [UK tax](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/guides/uk-tax-on-dubai-property). ## What we are not We are not financial, legal or tax advisers, and nothing on this site is personal advice. Property values can fall as well as rise, off-plan purchases carry completion risk, and the rules described here change. Take independent advice on anything that turns on your own circumstances. ## Get in touch Call **0330 122 5848**, email **uae@omniacapitalgroup.com**, or use the [contact page](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/contact).
