“You hear a lot of horror stories between tenants and letting agents. Luckily, my experience with Live Dubai has been a very positive one. From dealing with Mira as the agent, to Mohammed from the handover team. Maebel at head office in particular has been fantastic, she’s an excellent communicator, prompt in her responses and helpful as always.”

“I have been a client of LDI since last 3 years and I must share excellent and timely experiences on all the property management issues. Right from their leadership (Said) to their team (Maebal, Cherry, Hassan), I had a wonderful experience with all of them, they are all attentive, approachable and responsive on any of the tasks at hand.”

Family-run since 2003

We actually care.

Live Dubai began in the UK, helping British expatriates buy property in Dubai. Our team has worked in property since 1993, and we opened in Dubai in 2003 as its first freehold area, Palm Jumeirah, came to market. More than twenty years on we’re still a small, family-run firm, with offices in Barsha Heights and London, and we’re always happy to give advice over a coffee.

Our story and team

Property management for landlords

Your property earns.We do the work.

Off-plan handover coming up?

From keys to first rent, handled.

If your new home is close to handover, bring us in now. We take it through handover and snagging with the developer, get it ready to let and find your first tenant, so it is not sitting empty after you get the keys.

Talk to us before handover

What landlords worry about, and what we do

  1. Empty months

    We price your home against recent rents and the RERA index, list it on the major portals and attend every viewing.

  2. Late or bounced rent

    We bank each cheque on its date, chase any that bounce, pay you and send a statement every month.

  3. Repair calls and tenant problems

    Tenants report problems to us, not you. Our in-house team fixes them and you see every invoice.

  4. Paperwork and deadlines

    Tenancy contract, Ejari, the rent review before the 90-day notice deadline, and the deposit at move-out.
