Independent property intelligence

Buy Dubai propertywith someone on your side.

Paste a listing. Byside measures the asking price against registered DLD sales and tells you what the evidence supports — and what it doesn't.

For professionals
How it works for you

One platform, two clear paths.

By Side works for the buyer — and for the agencies that serve them. Find your path below.

For buyers

Know before you commit.

An independent verdict based on what the DLD register shows — before you put money down.

For brokers & agencies

Prepare buyers — and stand apart.

Organize client cases, model cashflow scenarios, and share evidence-backed reports that buyers can verify themselves.

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.

02 — The layer

A new layer between property data and the final decision.

01

What happened?

Market data

Transactions, listings, rents, projects and supply.

02

What do the numbers indicate?

Analysis

Benchmarks, economics, risks and assumptions.

03

What does this mean for me?

By Side verdict

Whether the transaction is logically supported, what could go wrong, and what to verify before committing.

What you're told / What By Side finds

Same property. Two very different stories.

The listing pitch

A rare, high-yield home in a prime tower — priced to sell.

By Side PROFESSIONAL

Help buyers decide with evidence — not sales claims.

A structured workspace for brokers who want their clients informed, not pressured. Prepare cases, model cashflows, and present evidence the buyer can trust — because By Side's verdicts are independent of you.

Prepare a buyer case with structured evidence before the viewing

Model cashflow across Conservative, Base, and Upside scenarios

Identify evidence gaps before the buyer asks

Separate declared assumptions from verified DLD data

Present findings clearly with an independence-compliant share view

Track what remains open after the meeting

BUYER REPORT CREDITS

Choose how many properties you want to assess.

Run a free coverage check first — if By Side cannot find sufficient DLD evidence for a property, the report will not proceed and no credit is used. One completed report uses one credit. Credits are a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Methodology

Methodology and independence

Every figure carries its evidence state. Every claim is rated. Gaps are never hidden.

Evidence states

Verified

Verified

Confirmed against DLD registered transaction data.

Observed

Observed

Drawn from market data patterns without a specific registered counterpart.

Provided

Provided

Stated by the seller or developer — not independently confirmed.

Estimated

Estimated

Derived from comparable data using a disclosed methodology.

Missing

Missing

Evidence was insufficient or unavailable. We declare this explicitly.

Structural principles

  1. 1

    The verdict is always the first thing you see.

  2. 2

    You pay a fixed fee regardless of which way the verdict goes.

  3. 3

    Evidence and comparables are always visible, never paywalled.

  4. 4

    Missing values are shown empty — never replaced with zero.

  5. 5

    No developer rankings or scores. Facts and evidence only.

  6. 6

    Insufficient evidence is declared. A number is never forced.

Understand first. Decide second.

Before you sign, get an independent read.

Paste a listing and receive a clear, evidence-based verdict — what supports the purchase, what weakens it, and exactly what to verify next.
