Two numbers nobody shows you.

Both of these take about thirty seconds and cost nothing. Neither requires your email. If what they reveal is uncomfortable, that is the point.

Dubai

What the rental yield actually is.

Advertised Dubai yields are gross. Service charges, void periods, management and letting commission all come out before anything reaches you. Move the sliders and watch the gap.

Service charges vary enormously between buildings, from around 12 AED per sq ft in simple towers to 40+ in amenity-heavy ones. If you don't know the figure for a specific building, that is itself worth finding out before you buy.

What you are really paying per square foot.

A rate quoted on super built-up area is not comparable to one quoted on carpet. Enter both and see the real number, and what the difference costs you.

Under RERA, carpet area must be disclosed for registered projects. If a seller will not give you the figure in writing, that refusal is the answer.

These are estimates. The file is the real answer.

A calculator uses the numbers you give it. We go and get the actual service charge, the registered carpet area, the observed occupancy and the title position, then tell you what we found.
