A British company. Dubai property.
Dubai property, studied properly.
We look at a lot of launches to put forward a few. Before you see a brochure you see the full cost, dated, in pounds and dirhams, with the payment plan month by month. Then you decide in your own time.

How we choose a project
We look at many, we put forward few.
Developer track record and completions, escrow in place, land title, permits, construction stage, plan stress-tested, exit routes. A project that fails a line does not reach you.
The numbers before the brochure.
One cost sheet, every fee named, the exchange rate dated, a slower-market case next to the base case. If you can rebuild our sums on the back of an envelope, we have done our job.
We stay until the keys.
Reservation, contract, payments, handover, snagging, letting, resale. The same two people throughout.

Who you are dealing with

Questions people ask us first
Can a UK, Indian or Gulf resident buy in Dubai?
Yes, in designated freehold areas, in your own name, with no local sponsor. Al Jaddaf is one of them.
What does it cost on top of the price?
A registration fee to the Dubai Land Department of 4 per cent, an administration fee, and later the annual service charge. We put every one of these on the cost sheet before you decide.
Do I need a mortgage?
Not for an off-plan purchase on a payment plan. You pay the developer in instalments while it is built. Finance for the completion balance is possible for some buyers, and we will tell you honestly whether you are likely to qualify.
What if the developer is late?
Payments sit in a project escrow account released against construction milestones, and the contract sets out what happens on delay. We show you the relevant clauses before you sign.
How is Cool Britannia Invest paid?
By the developer, on completion of a sale. You pay us nothing. Our price is the developer's price.
Can I sell before completion?
Usually yes, once a set share of the price has been paid, subject to the developer's consent and a transfer fee. We explain the exit routes for each project.
