Independent Off-Plan Advisory · UK & International Investors

Tell me your budget. I'll tell you if the numbers actually work.

Every off-plan deal I bring you has already been checked against six financial criteria — net of service charges, DLD fees, and realistic vacancy. If it doesn't hold up, you never see it.

"If a deal doesn't work once the DLD fee, a realistic handover timeline, and the exact service charge are in — I tell you to walk away."

Why work with an advisor, not a sales rep

A developer's rep sells one building. I filter fifty.

One

Skin in the game

I only bring you projects I'd put my own capital into. Nothing reaches your desk on quota alone.

Two

Net numbers, always

Every projection is shown after service charges, DLD fees, and vacancy — not the gross figure on the brochure.

Three

Paid by the developer

Commission is standard across the market and paid on allocation — so advice to you costs nothing extra.

The filter

Six criteria, checked on every project

Most brokers lead with commission. These are the numbers I check before a project earns a place in your shortlist.

1

Net ROI & capital growth

Entry price per square foot measured against historical submarket highs, across construction and post-completion phases.

2

Realistic time to handover

Developer track record, escrow position, and contractor delivery history cross-checked against DLD construction audits.

3

Payment plan structure

How your capital moves across 1% monthly, 50/50, or post-handover plans — and whether it sits idle without you.

4

Net rental income

Realistic occupancy and yield for that specific neighbourhood, not the developer's marketing projection.

5

Service charges per sq ft

Recurring fees built into the yield forecast up front, so there's no surprise after handover.

6

DLD & hidden fees

Full accounting of the 4% transfer fee, Oqood registration, and trustee costs before you commit.

"Mitchell stripped back the developer hype and showed me the actual net yield after service charges. I ended up in a prime growth corridor with a payment plan that actually made sense."
James M. — Property Investor, London

Before you commit capital

Questions investors ask first

How do you get paid if it's free to me?

Commission is standard across the UAE off-plan market and paid by the developer on allocation. I work across all Tier-1 developers rather than one, so there's no incentive to push a specific building.

Can I buy remotely from the UK?

Yes. Reservation, SPA signature, and escrow payment can all be completed digitally from the UK — I oversee the document flow end to end.

What's the 4% DLD fee, and is that the only extra cost?

It's the Dubai Land Department's transfer fee, plus a nominal Oqood admin charge (roughly AED 1,000–3,000). Unlike the UK, there's no stamp duty, capital gains tax, or council tax.

How is my money protected during construction?

Payments sit in a project-specific RERA-regulated escrow account. Developers can only draw funds as milestones are certified by government-appointed engineers.
