Multilingual Property Advisory in Abu Dhabi
A property deal in Abu Dhabi runs on documents in Arabic and English. We make sure that what you sign is what you understood — in the language you think in.
Who this is for
- English-speaking international investors and families buying in Abu Dhabi for the first time, who want a broker to explain the local process rather than assume it.
- Russian-speaking clients — from Russia, Kazakhstan, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Europe and the Gulf — who prefer to discuss money and contracts in Russian.
- Kazakh-speaking clients. Many of our clients come from Kazakhstan, and our founder also runs an agency there, Platinum Real Estate.
- Owners abroad who already hold property in Abu Dhabi and need it let, managed or sold without flying in for every step.
What working in your language actually covers
- Advice and comparison. Shortlists, price analysis, the risks of each option and our recommendation, in writing, in your language.
- Documents explained. Reservation forms, sale and purchase agreements, payment plans, developer resale conditions, tenancy contracts and service-charge statements — read with you clause by clause before you sign.
- Correspondence. We deal with developers, banks, the registry and contractors in English or Arabic, and report back to you in your language.
- Remote process. Video viewings, digital signatures where accepted, payments to the developer's escrow account, and a power of attorney for the steps that need someone physically in Abu Dhabi.
What it does not cover
We do not certify translations and we do not give legal or tax advice in any language. When a certified translation is required, we use a licensed translation office. When the question is legal — inheritance, company structures, tax residence — we tell you exactly what to ask and work with your lawyer or adviser. Our guide on inheritance and wills for expat owners is a good starting point.
Practical points for clients from Kazakhstan and the CIS
- Moving money. International transfers to a developer's escrow account are routine, but banks on both sides may ask about the source of funds. Prepare that evidence before you reserve, not after.
- Power of attorney. A power of attorney signed outside the UAE must be notarised and legalised for use here; an incorrectly prepared one is one of the most common reasons a signing date slips.
- Residency. Property of AED 2 million or more can support a long-term residence application, on conditions that differ between Dubai and Abu Dhabi — see our Golden Visa guide.
- Market context. Who else is buying, and from where: UAE property buyers by nationality and Kazakhstan investors in UAE property.
The same team from first call to title deed
You deal with the same people throughout — not a call centre that passes you on after the reservation. The founder, Yeldar Nurmukanov, works in English, Russian and Kazakh and has basic Arabic.
