The official Property Valuation Certificate is issued by the Dubai Land Department and states the legal market value of your property. It is the document authorities, banks and courts rely on — to prove your property has crossed the 2 million Golden Visa threshold, to calculate the 0.125% gifting fee on a Hiba transfer, to refinance a mortgage, or to settle an estate. We handle the entire case online: internal audit, DLD submission, evaluation follow-up and certificate delivery.

One certificate, many applications
A DLD valuation certificate is a mandatory legal requirement across several government and financial procedures.
- Residency eligibility — upgrade to the 10-year Golden Visa or 5-year Retirement Visa once the current value crosses the threshold
- Property gifting (Hiba) — mandatory to calculate the nominal 0.125% gifting fee on transfers to first-degree relatives
- Mortgage and refinance — banks require an official DLD valuation to release equity or approve new terms
- Inheritance and courts — fair valuation of UAE real estate for estate planning and asset distribution
- Corporate tax and audit — asset reporting and capital gains compliance under UAE Corporate Tax
- Ownership transfer — establishes the legal minimum price used for DLD transfer-fee calculation
The DLD process, step by step
A clear path to your official certificate through the Dubai Land Department.
- Internal audit — our evaluators assess the property and set the optimal valuation target for your purpose
- Electronic submission — we open the case on the DLD portal, upload documents and pay the valuation fee
- Evaluation phase — the DLD committee cross-references the audit against current market indices
- Certificate issuance — the legally binding certificate is issued and sent to you digitally
Revaluation for Golden Visa upgrades
Property bought below 2 million years ago has often appreciated past the threshold. A current DLD valuation is the only accepted proof, and it is the single most common reason our clients revalue.
- Single ownership — no minimum purchase price, current value is what counts
- Joint ownership — each owner's share must be at least 400,000 to qualify
- Multiple properties can be merged into one portfolio valuation
- Mortgaged property is accepted provided the required equity is met
