The market, in numbers

What the numbers say about Dubai right now.

A first half 12% below the 2025 record and still the second-strongest on record, gross yields most global cities cannot match, and no UAE tax on rent or gains.

Dubai property sales, first half of year AED
AED0bn

H1 2026 sales value across 86,000 deals: about 12% below the H1 2025 record, with volumes holding and the off-plan share rising.

Two in three deals are off-plan, and most of those are bought directly from developers. Launch-day access is where the pricing edge sits, and where developer selection matters most.

At purchase, budget the 4% DLD fee plus about 2% in commission and trustee fees on ready property; annual service charges apply. Home-country tax is a separate question we raise at the brief.

Property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify the owner and family for a renewable 10-year residency. We structure purchases to meet it; the authorities decide.

From the CEO

“Most agencies sell you what they have. We go and find what you actually need, then show you the numbers before you fall for the view.”

Ansh leads TVG Realtors with a simple standard: every recommendation has to survive a spreadsheet before it reaches a client. A Boston University mathematics and economics graduate and licensed Dubai broker, he has lived in Dubai since the group's founding in 2014 and buys, rents and holds property here himself.

How we work

Four steps from brief to keys.

No listings to scroll. You tell us what you want; we go and find it, then take it all the way through registration.

01

Brief

A 20-minute call to define budget, purpose, timing and what a good outcome looks like for you.

Day 1
02

Source

We pull from developer allocations, off-market resales and motivated sellers in Dubai, and through licensed partners in Abu Dhabi and RAK.

Within 24 hours
03

Underwrite

Every shortlisted unit gets a yield, service-charge and exit-liquidity check before you see it.

Numbers, not brochures
04

Secure

We negotiate, then handle the MOU, NOC, transfer at the trustee and key handover; on off-plan, handover and snagging. Then leasing if you are investing.

Through to keys
What you receive

Every unit arrives with a one-page memo, not a brochure.

Before a unit reaches your shortlist it has been underwritten by a licensed TVG broker. You see the numbers first, then the view.

01Yield on asking price, using rents achieved in the building, not the listing's estimate.
02Service charge per square foot as approved by RERA, and the building's collection record.
03Comparable resales in the tower or community over the last twelve months.
04Time to sell and time to let, so you know how liquid the exit is before you enter.
05Developer delivery record on off-plan, checked against DLD project status, and the escrow account details.

Where the deals come from

Three channels the portals never show you.

Developer allocations

Priority units at launch, before public release, with the best floors, views and payment plans still available.

Off-market resales

Owners who want a quiet, quick sale without a listing. We match them directly to briefs on our desk.

Motivated sellers

Relocations, portfolio rebalancing and off-plan resales where the seller has met the developer's resale threshold, sometimes priced below the developer's current list.

What we turn down

Towers whose service charges are out of line with their rents, developers without an escrow and delivery track record, and any unit whose rent on asking price does not cover the cost of holding it. We would rather send you three units than thirty.

Golden Visa structuring

Single or combined purchases arranged to cross AED 2M cleanly, with the paperwork handled alongside the transfer.

Questions

Before you buy.

The questions every first-time UAE buyer asks us, answered plainly. Anything else, ask on WhatsApp.

On ready property the customary fee is 2% plus VAT, paid by you. On off-plan the developer pays us, and developer rates vary by project, which is a conflict we manage by telling you what we are paid on any unit we recommend, in writing, before you reserve. We are not tied to any developer and we walk away from units that do not pass underwriting.

Yes. Non-residents of any nationality can buy freehold property in designated zones, which cover almost every community we work in across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah. Title is registered in your name and can be held, rented, sold or inherited.

In Dubai, budget roughly 6 to 7 percent on ready property: the 4 percent DLD transfer fee, a 2 percent brokerage commission plus VAT, trustee and registration fees of a few thousand dirhams, and mortgage registration if you finance. Off-plan purchases direct from the developer carry no commission for you. Abu Dhabi's registration fee is 2 percent; Ras Al Khaimah applies its own fee, which we confirm at the brief.

No. We arrange video viewings, a power of attorney for signing, and remote registration. Many of our clients complete their first purchase without visiting and fly in for handover.

Ownership of property worth AED 2 million or more, ready or off-plan from approved developers, can qualify you for a renewable 10-year residency that extends to your spouse and children. We structure purchases to meet the threshold and handle the application; the authorities make the final decision.

It depends on your horizon. Off-plan gives you a payment plan and launch pricing, with the possibility of appreciation by handover and no rental income until completion. It can also fall in value before handover, which is why developer selection matters. Ready property earns from day one at a higher entry price. Most of our investors hold a mix, and we will tell you plainly which fits your brief.

Probably, if you are tax resident in a country that taxes worldwide income, such as the UK or India. The UAE itself does not tax rent or gains, and it has double-tax treaties with both. Indian buyers should also plan remittances around the Liberalised Remittance Scheme limit of USD 250,000 per person per year. We raise both points at the brief stage.

Dubai transactions are brokered by TVG Realtors under its Dubai licence. Purchases in Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah are arranged with our locally licensed partner brokerages, with TVG as your single point of contact for sourcing, underwriting and negotiation.
