The short answer

A DLD property valuation estimates the value of a property for an official purpose. It is different from the rental valuation service and from an agent’s informal market appraisal.

What to do

1. Choose the correct valuation type

Identify whether the request concerns land, a completed unit or another property type, and state the actual purpose accurately.

2. Collect property evidence

Prepare the title or ownership details, property identifiers and any plans, leases or other records requested for that property category.

3. Submit through DLD or DubaiNow

Follow the live property-valuation journey, select the correct asset and upload legible documents before completing payment.

4. Check the issued certificate

DLD delivers the valuation certificate electronically. Confirm the property, valuation date and stated scope before giving it to a bank, court or other recipient.

Important: A valuation certificate is not proof of title, a sale approval or a guarantee of the price a buyer will pay.
