# Editorial standards

> The rules we hold ourselves to when we publish anything about a development, a developer, an area or the law.

Last updated 12 November 2026.

## Sources

Every development, developer and area page lists the sources its facts were checked against. In order of preference we use:

1. The developer's own website, price lists and announcements.
2. The land department or regulator for the emirate: the Dubai Land Department and RERA, Abu Dhabi's ADREC, and their equivalents elsewhere.
3. Established property portals' new-project listings.
4. Established news organisations and named market research.

Where sources disagree, which is common for handover dates, we use the developer's current figure and say that it is the developer's.

## Dates

Every page shows the date its facts were last checked. Every price shows the date of the price list it came from. A page that has not been reviewed for four months is flagged for review.

## What we will not publish

- **Guesses.** If a price, size, handover date or payment plan has not been published, the page says so.
- **Promised returns.** We do not forecast prices or promise yields. Where a developer advertises a rental guarantee, we report it as the developer's claim.
- **Unlabelled yields.** Any yield we quote says whether it is gross or net, and gives its source and date.
- **Brochure copy.** Descriptions are written by us. We do not reproduce developers' marketing text.
- **Invented urgency.** No countdowns, no "last units" banners, no claims about demand that we cannot support.

## Balance

Every development page has two lists of equal standing: what works, and what to weigh. Developer and area pages have the same. We are paid by developers when a buyer purchases, which is exactly why the second list is mandatory. Our advisers are salaried rather than paid on commission, but the rule does not rely on that. See [how we are paid](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/about#how-we-are-paid).

## Calculators

Our calculators use published government fees and clearly labelled market conventions. Where published figures for an emirate conflict, the result is labelled indicative. The fee rules are reviewed regularly and each calculator shows the date of the last review.

## Law, tax and visas

Our guides describe rules; they are not advice. Each one names its sources and the date it was last reviewed. Rules in the UAE change often and at short notice. Confirm anything that matters to your decision with a qualified adviser.

## How content is produced

We use software, including AI tools, to help gather and cross-check public information. Responsibility for everything published here rests with Omnia.

## Corrections

If you find something wrong or out of date, email **uae@omniacapitalgroup.com** with the page address. We check every report and correct the page, and its date, as soon as we have confirmed the fact.

## Regulation and advertising

Property advertising in the UAE is regulated: Dubai requires an advertising permit for listings, and Abu Dhabi runs its own permit system. Where a permit number applies to a listing, it is shown on the page.
