Real Estate Investors

Buy-side property counsel — never broker-led.

The UAE property market is one of the most liquid and tax-efficient in the world — and one of the most aggressively sold. Off-plan towers, Instagram-curated tours, "guaranteed yield" pitches, agents commissioned by both sides — the noise drowns out the analysis. We work strictly buy-side: developer due diligence, true-yield modelling, escrow and RERA review, mortgage introductions and Golden Visa structuring — built around your thesis, not a sales pipeline.

Typical Situation

What we usually see when Real Estate Investors first call.

Recognise yourself in any of these? You're in the right place.

Brokers sell. We don't.

Most "advisors" are commissioned by developers. They cannot give you a buy-side opinion that disagrees with the seller paying them.

Brochure yields lie

Gross yields look great in a flyer. Net of service charges, vacancy, agency, Ejari and DLD, your real yield is usually 200–400 bps lower.

Off-plan risk is quantifiable

Developer track-record, escrow conditions, payment-schedule structure and handover-risk profile — all auditable before signing.

Golden Visa & succession

AED 2M is the headline. The structuring around it (entity, mortgage, succession survival, dependants) is what makes the visa portable.

How We Help

What a typical Real Estate Investors mandate covers.

Every engagement starts with a written scope — we work to fixed fees wherever possible, tied to deliverables, not billable hours.

Why TruWise

Why Real Estate Investors choose us.

Four attributes our clients consistently cite as the reason they refer us, year after year.

Buy-Side Only

We never receive developer commissions. Our entire compensation comes from the client — that structural alignment is the product.

True-Yield Discipline

Gross yields are marketing. Net yield after every cost is the only number that matters — and the only one we report.

Golden Visa Structured

We structure the AED 2M route around your succession plan — not just a single property — so the visa survives a future portfolio rebalance.

Cross-Border Comfort

Multilingual practice with clients across GCC, Europe, CIS and Asia — remote conveyancing and AML clearance are everyday work.

Frequently Asked

Questions Real Estate Investors ask before the first call.

No — we are buy-side only. We never receive listing fees, marketing fees or developer kickbacks. Our entire compensation comes from the client, in cash, on a fixed-fee basis.
Yes — a single property worth AED 2M+ at purchase, fully paid (or with a recognised UAE-bank mortgage), qualifies the principal for a 10-year Golden Visa, with dependant visas for spouse and children. We structure the purchase so the visa survives a future remortgage or portfolio swap.
Dubai's 2007 Escrow Law (no. 8/2007) and the RERA framework provide strong buyer protection — payments must go into a project-specific escrow controlled by the Dubai Land Department, with milestone-based releases tied to construction progress. Risk is real but quantifiable; we run a developer-track-record + escrow + financing review on every off-plan deal.
Yes — several UAE banks offer non-resident mortgages, typically up to 50% LTV at slightly higher rates than resident packages. We introduce you directly to the right bank for your nationality, salary structure and project; most clients have a decision in principle within 10 business days.
Annual service charges (DLD-published rates per sqft per community), 5% DLD transfer fee at purchase (one-off), DLD trustee fee, optional Ejari registration, and (if let) management/agency fees of 5–8% of rent. We provide a full first-year cost schedule before exchange.
