How to prepare a Dubai fair-price report
A fair-price report should make the evidence inspectable: the exact subject, the selected sales, the matching scope, the source date, and the limits that remain after the comparison.
A broad market context before selecting comparables
The committed sales-trend snapshot has 11,992 registered sales in Dubai Hills over its 12-month window. That is useful context, not a substitute for a property-level comparable set.

Apply a traceable method
Identify the subject first, collect the closest registered sales, reject obvious mismatches, and record every widening decision. The report should explain its evidence before it presents a conclusion.
Define the subject before collecting numbers
Write down the building or project, property type, bedrooms, recorded size, and whether the client is considering an existing or off-plan property. This prevents a broad search result from becoming the subject by accident.
If a key detail is unknown, leave it open in the report. Do not fill the gap with a nearby tower, a marketing label, or an assumption about unit type.
Build the comparable set in layers
Start with the same building or project when trustworthy records exist. Expand to the relevant area only when the closer layer cannot support a usable sample, and name that expansion in the report.
Keep off-plan and resale evidence distinct unless the report explains why a cross-market comparison is necessary. The registration label is more reliable than a project name or launch date guess.
End with an evidence statement, not sales copy
Show the dates, sample size, total prices, unit rates, and the matching scope used. A reader should be able to see what would change the conclusion.
Describe the result as a fair-price opinion. Do not call it an official appraisal, and do not imply that the client will achieve a particular transaction price.
Keep the claim no wider than the evidence
Source: GetVerdict sales-trend response, sourced from public registered property records. This example is replayed from the committed source response, with evidence through 1 September 2026.
Area-level counts and registration mix are context only. They do not establish that a particular building, unit size, or sale type has enough close comparable evidence.
Read GetVerdict's source and attribution, matching methodology, and disclaimer before relying on a report.
Continue with dated local evidence
Check the exact property.
Search the property, choose the specific unit, and inspect the registered-sale evidence before creating a GetVerdict price check.

A client does not need another portal estimate. They need a traceable registered sale, the fields that describe it, and a clear explanation of where the comparison stops.

Dubai sale price versus valuation
A recorded sale tells you what one transaction registered for. A valuation or fair-price opinion explains how a set of relevant sales may apply to the property your client is considering.
