Independent property intelligence

Know what you're buying — before you commit.

Byside gives you an independent verdict on Dubai residential properties — price, risk and returns checked against registered DLD transactions, so you understand the deal before you put money down. When evidence is insufficient, we tell you.

01 — The problem

The problem isn't a lack of data. It's a lack of understanding.

The buyer sees only pieces

Transactions, rents, service charges, developer claims and payment plans sit in different places and use different definitions.

Most explanations come from someone selling

Even correct information can be framed selectively. The upside arrives clearly; the assumptions, limits and risks only partially.

Numbers don't explain themselves

AED per sq ft, gross yield or a developer track record mean little until they're translated into your budget, goals and downside.

Illustrative buyer scenarios

What Byside shows you, and why it matters.

Illustrative example

Off-plan evaluation

A 60/40 off-plan unit in Business Bay. The asking price was in range for the building, but the net yield after service charges came out at 3.8% — not the 7.5% quoted by the broker. Byside flags the declared vs verified gap on every figure.

Verdict: do not proceed yet

Illustrative example

Ready unit — price above median

A 1BR ready unit in Dubai Marina. The price benchmark placed the asking 14% above the median of comparable transactions registered in the same building. The negotiation range gave a supported ceiling and walk-away price based on that evidence.

Verdict: renegotiate

Segment reclassification

A 2BR off-plan unit in JVC. DLD registry showed completed handovers in the building, which reclassified the segment from off-plan to ready. The verdict updated accordingly — no manual input needed.

Verdict: proceed to due diligence
