Abu Dhabi property questions, answered.
Who is Hamzeh Shalan?+
Hamzeh Shalan is an Abu Dhabi real estate broker who advises clients on residential property purchases, sales, rentals and off-plan opportunities. His work includes villas, apartments, townhouses and investment properties across the emirate.
Is Hamzeh Shalan a licensed real estate broker?+
Hamzeh’s published Abu Dhabi broker licence number is 202401879616. Clients should verify current licence status and the registered brokerage through the appropriate Abu Dhabi real estate authority before transacting.
Can foreigners buy property in Abu Dhabi?+
Non-UAE nationals can own property in designated investment areas under the applicable Abu Dhabi ownership rules. The precise rights depend on the property, project and legal title, so the specific unit should be checked before committing.
Which Abu Dhabi areas should I consider?+
Saadiyat Island is known for cultural destinations and beaches; Yas Island combines established residential communities with leisure attractions; Jubail Island offers low-density, nature-oriented housing; Al Reem Island is known for urban apartments. The best option depends on budget, commute, household needs and investment goals.
Should I buy an off-plan property or a ready home?+
Off-plan property may offer staged payments and access to new developments, but involves construction timelines and delivery risk. Ready property lets you inspect the home and assess immediate use or rental prospects. Compare total cost, developer track record, financing and your timeframe.
What costs should I budget beyond the property price?+
Consider relevant registration and transfer charges, brokerage fees, financing costs if applicable, valuation, insurance, ongoing service charges and maintenance. Amounts differ by transaction type; request a current itemised estimate before signing.
Can I get a mortgage in Abu Dhabi as a non-resident?+
Some UAE banks offer mortgages to eligible non-resident buyers. Loan-to-value limits, required deposits, documentation and rates vary by lender and borrower circumstances. Seek an individual bank assessment before making a commitment.
Does buying property qualify me for a UAE Golden Visa?+
Certain property investors may qualify for long-term residence if they meet the current investment and immigration criteria. Ownership structure and qualifying amount matter; eligibility should be confirmed with the relevant government authority.
How do I assess rental yield?+
Gross rental yield is estimated annual rent divided by purchase price. Net yield also accounts for relevant operating costs and vacancy assumptions. Check actual comparable rents and expenses instead of relying only on advertised yields.
Can Hamzeh help sell my property in Abu Dhabi?+
Hamzeh can discuss pricing, comparable properties, marketing, buyer qualification, viewings and negotiation. The exact scope of representation, fees and arrangements should be agreed in writing with the licensed brokerage.
Can Hamzeh help with rental properties?+
Yes. You can enquire about apartments, townhouses and villas for rent, including community selection and available inventory. Property availability changes, so confirm the latest listing details directly.
Which projects are on Jubail Island and Yas Island?+
Jubail Island includes residential locations such as Ain Al Maha, Seef Al Jubail and Nad Al Dhabi. Yas Island includes communities and projects such as Yas Acres, Noya, Yas Golf Collection and Water’s Edge. Project status and current availability must be checked individually.
What should I verify before reserving an off-plan unit?+
Verify the developer and project registration, escrow/payment arrangements, contract terms, construction status, expected completion, fees, cancellation provisions and unit specifications. Get independent legal advice where appropriate.
What should I prepare before contacting Hamzeh?+
Your preferred property type, target area, approximate budget, buying or renting timeframe and whether the property is for personal use or investment are enough to start a useful conversation.
Your next move starts with a conversation.
