Methodology & coverage

Understand the evidence behind your property decision.

Properta’s Property Decision Reports compare an asking price with relevant registered sales for completed residential properties in Dubai. See the evidence behind the supported price range and understand its limitations. Reports are not certified valuations or investment advice.

Every layer of evidence, in plain sight.

Step by step

How the evidence becomes a clearer result.

Step 1 of 4

Start with the right property

Match the supplied property details to available records. Explain what has been identified and highlight any details that remain uncertain.

Registered sales evidence

Compare an asking price with relevant registered sales. See which records support the analysis and any stated verification limitations.

Relevant comparisons

Understand why sales were selected and how they differ from the property. Background market records are distinguished from the comparisons used.

Confidence explained

Where confidence is provided, see what strengthens or weakens the conclusion. Confidence reflects the available evidence; it is not a guarantee.

Evidence dates are visible

See the evidence cut-off date and the dates of selected sales. The analysis reflects the stated evidence period, not a live view of every market change.

Independent analysis

Properta provides independent property intelligence. It does not broker the transaction or earn a commission from the deal.

Comparison methodology

How to understand market comparisons.

Market comparisons summarise groups of registered transactions. Their typical range is different from the supported price range in an individual Property Decision Report.

Median

The middle recorded value when values are ordered. It summarises the selected market evidence; it is not a valuation of an individual property.

Typical range

The middle half of recorded values, between the lower and upper quartiles. It describes the selected evidence, not a predicted selling price.

Report price range

In a Property Decision Report the price range follows the evidence it reaches. In the same project or building: the median registered price of at least 5 comparable sales in the same project or building, plus or minus 10%. Otherwise, in the same area: the median price per sq ft of at least 5 comparable sales in the same area within 20% of your size, times your size, plus or minus 20%. Off-plan: the middle half of Oqood registrations of the same layout. With fewer sales no range is shown. It is a range of registered evidence, not a valuation.

Record count

The number of records included in the comparison. Read it alongside relevance and dates; more records alone do not guarantee a stronger comparison.

Names and areas

Familiar community names help you navigate. Registered area names and identifiers are shown separately where available.

Property size and units

Read size figures with their stated units. Where a source unit is unconfirmed, it must be identified as such and not treated as square feet or square metres.

Transaction categories

Compare transactions within clearly identified categories. Where a category’s meaning has not been verified, make that limitation clear.

Historical evidence

Registered transactions describe past market activity. They do not confirm current availability, current asking prices or future returns.

Comparable property types

Compare compatible property types and transaction categories. Unsupported combinations should be clearly identified rather than presented as reliable comparisons.

Coverage

Understand whether your property is supported.

Report availability depends on the current coverage, whether the property can be identified, and whether enough relevant evidence is available.

If those requirements are not met, the limitation should be explained rather than presenting an unsupported conclusion.
