What landlords say
Five-star reviews from our clients on Google. Read them on Google“The best property manager in Dubai by far. Ive 2 units that Said and his team in LiveDubai is managing for me and not only they are never vacant but also i always get the beat deal.”
“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.”
“Fantastic service as always. Results driven and always looking to find best solutions and to the best interest of their clients. Particularly thankful to Imee, Sajjad, Irene and Hassan. You guys are amazing.”
“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.”

How much does property management cost?
Our management fee is 5% of the annual rent. Ask for a free proposal and we will set out exactly what is included for your property, in writing.
Do I need to live in Dubai?
No. We handle the day-to-day locally, and you can reach our Dubai or London office whenever you need us.
How do you decide the rent?
We compare recent lets in your building and community with the RERA rental index, then recommend a rent that lets quickly without leaving money on the table.
What happens if a rent cheque bounces?
We contact the tenant straight away and follow it up until it is resolved, and we keep you informed at every step.
Can you take over from my current agent?
Yes. We collect the keys and documents, introduce ourselves to your tenant and take over the tenancy from the next payment.

What will your property really earn?Landlord calculator
What will your property really earn?
Gross rent is only the start. Enter your rent and the costs that apply to you to see your net operating income and yields, or compare the rent before and after a renovation. Nothing is filled in for you.
Sample scenario. These are made-up figures to show how the calculator works. They are not Live Dubai’s pricing, fees or typical costs, and not a forecast for any property.
Compare the rent now with the rent you think the home could achieve after a renovation. All results are estimates, and a higher rent is not guaranteed.
