Property Valuation Services in Dubai

RICS-regulated valuations for every property type across Dubai, each led by valuers who know that market.

A Valuation for Every Decision

Market value for lending and transactions, fair value for reporting, reinstatement cost for insurance.

Each purpose calls for its own basis of value. We agree the basis, the valuation date and who will rely on the report before the inspection, so the figure fits the decision it supports.

RICS Valuation Report or DLD Valuation Certificate?

Frequently Asked Questions

A property valuation is an independent opinion of what a property is worth at a stated date, prepared by a qualified valuer from an inspection, comparable sales and rents, and current market evidence. In Dubai it is used for lending, buying and selling, financial reporting, insurance, disputes and Golden Visa applications.

Real estate valuation in Dubai is a regulated activity: firms must be authorised by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) and valuers registered with it, under Executive Council Resolution No. 37 of 2015. Reliant Surveyors is a RERA-registered valuation entity and a RICS-regulated firm.

A DLD valuation certificate is an electronic certificate of value obtained through Dubai Land Department channels (the Dubai REST app, Dubai Now or a trustee centre). A RICS valuation report is prepared by a regulated valuer after an inspection, with the comparable evidence, methodology and assumptions set out, which is what banks, auditors and advisers usually ask for.

The fee depends on the property type, size and location, the purpose of the valuation and the reporting required. We confirm it in writing before you instruct, so you know the cost before any work starts.

Residential reports follow from 4 hours* once payment is received and the site inspection is complete. Commercial property, portfolios and specialised assets take longer; we confirm the timetable in our proposal.

For a home: the title deed (or Oqood and SPA for off-plan units), a floor plan, the owner’s ID and any tenancy contract. Income-producing property also needs the tenancy schedule, Ejari contracts and income and expense statements; land needs the plot documents and affection or planning plan.

The client, purpose and the valuer’s relationship to the property; a description of the property and its location; the basis of value and the valuation date; the evidence, methodology and assumptions; the value in figures and words; and the valuer’s name, signature and registration number.

No. The title deed records what was paid at the time of purchase. Market value is the price the property would achieve at the valuation date, which can be higher or lower depending on how the market and the property have changed since.

Yes. Our valuations are prepared to RICS standards and are accepted by banks across the UAE. Where a bank has its own valuation panel or instructions, we confirm them with you before the inspection.

A valuation states the value at a specific date. There is no single fixed validity period; banks and other users set how recent a valuation must be for their purpose, so check their requirement before you instruct.

Online tools give automated estimates without an inspection or a valuer’s judgement. A certified valuation gives a defensible value based on the property itself, comparable evidence and RICS methodology.

A valuation does not raise the price; it establishes what the property is worth. An accurate figure helps sellers price realistically, attract serious buyers and negotiate with confidence.
