What landlords and tenants say
Five-star reviews from our clients on Google. Read them on Google“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.”
“Two years with this agency and I can honestly say Imee has made all the difference. She’s responsive, efficient, and always picks up the phone — no chasing, no waiting. Every request is handled quickly and properly, and she consistently goes above and beyond for her clients.”
“I lived in Lake View for almost a year and had a great experience. The apartment is clean, cozy, bright, and very comfortable to live in. I have no complaints about the maintenance or condition of the apartment – everything was excellent.”
“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.”
“A great experience and smooth onboarding during my rental search... Mr Adil was especially helpful and made sure that all aspects are taken care off and answered all queries patiently... Thank you team for the good work... Keep it up”

How much does property management cost?
It depends on the property and the services you need. Ask for a free proposal and we will set out our fee in writing, with nothing hidden.

We contact the tenant straight away and follow it up until it is resolved, and we keep you informed at every step.
