What Is Property Valuation in Dubai?

Property valuation is the official process of determining the fair market value of a property based on various factors like location, size, condition, and current market trends. In Dubai, these evaluations are conducted in line with Dubai Land Department (DLD) regulations and are essential for both investors and residents applying for long-term residency visas or planning property transactions.

Whether you’re applying for a Golden Visa, planning retirement, or simply want to gauge your asset’s worth, property valuation offers clarity and compliance—backed by expert insights and government certification.

Why Property Valuation Is Crucial — Especially for Golden Visa and Retirement Plans

If you’re planning to apply for a 10-year Golden Visa through property investment, an accurate property valuation is essential. One of the key eligibility criteria is to own real estate in Dubai valued at AED 2 million or more. A certified valuation confirms this, ensuring your visa application meets all requirements.

For retirees and long-term planners, understanding your property’s market value helps you build a secure and sustainable lifestyle plan in the UAE.

What Does the Valuation Cover?

A professional property valuation in Dubai takes into account:

• Property type (apartment, villa, plot, or commercial unit)
• Location and community trends
• Property size and built-up area
• Construction quality and condition
• Age of the building
• Market demand and recent comparable sales

Dubai’s DLD Cube system is often used for data-backed insights and ensures consistency in evaluations.
