Buying a property in Dubai is not just a beautiful presentation from a developer. Each visualization hides real figures: land value, district infrastructure, legal aspects and the developer's reputation.

Therefore, at Green City Real Estate, we always go through ours before every purchase 10-point object inspection checklist. This is not “insurance” — it is a mandatory minimum if you want to buy not just an apartment, but an asset that will grow in value.

1. Developer Verification

Not all developers are equally reliable.

• See completed projects.

• Compare the promises in the brochure and the reality on the spot.

• Read reviews on Google Maps and on social media.

• Study court cases and delay histories (if any).

Why is it important: you invest money not only in walls, but also in the brand's reputation. If a developer delayed projects before, risks remain today.

2. Location and growth points of the district

Study the development of the district not only for today, but also for 5-10 years to come:

• Check plans Dubai 2040, RTA, future subway stations.

• Are there Free Zones, logistics and tourism clusters nearby?

• Take a look traffic maps in Google Maps in the morning and in the evening.

• Ask yourself: Who will rent/buy here in 2 years?

Why is it important: The neighborhood may be “quiet” today, but turn into a growth point tomorrow — or vice versa.

3. Rising land values

• Learn how land prices in this area have changed over the past 3 to 5 years

• The dynamics of land values are a key driver of apartment growth.

Why is it important: if land becomes more expensive, so will the price per square meter. If it stands still, stagnation is possible.

4. Future development nearby

• Check areas around via DLD or Trakheesi.

• Learn:

• what will be built nearby;

• how many floors will future buildings have;

• whether the view from the window will be obstructed for you.

Why is it important: now you're looking at palm trees and the pool, and in 2 years a tower could grow in front of you.

5. The quality of home infrastructure

• How many lifts per unit count?

• Is there an underground car park (minimum 1 space per studio/1BR)?

• Is the pool large enough?

• Is there a gym, children's area, coworking space?

Why is it important: good infrastructure increases the liquidity and attractiveness of the property when reselling or renting.

6. Real profitability cases

• How much did investors actually earn on this developer's properties?

• Compare ROI at finished properties with what the developer promises.

• Use statistics from Green City Real Estate — we maintain databases for all key projects.

Why is it important: don't just focus on promises — see how it happened intrinsically from others.

7. Feedback on completed projects

• Check reviews of the developer's buildings at Google Maps.

• See what problems residents have faced:

• Leaks, noise, broken air conditioners.

• Reviews about the service company.

Why is it important: the developer's reputation consists not only of beautiful layouts, but also of after-sales service.

8. SPA draft check

• Do the layout and decoration match the offer?

• What are the penalties and restrictions in the contract?

• What is the payment schedule?

• Are there any penalties for delay?

It is important: at Green City Real Estate we ever we check the SPA before signing and check it against the draft. This is a mandatory step for all our customers.

9. Escrow account

• Make sure that the project is registered with the DLD.

• Check the escrow account and developer's number.

• The money goes to construction, not directly to the developer.

Why is it important: escrow is your legal shield. Without it, the deal is not secure.

10. A visit to the showroom

• Touch the finish. See how the joints are made.

• Compare the furniture from the offer with the real one (if included).

• Pay attention to the windows, kitchen, plumbing.

And make a deal only with Green City Real Estate:

• Verification of all documents.

• Licensed brokers.

• Selecting a growth strategy and calculating profitability.

• Protection from errors and unforeseen risks.
