Investments and transactions
Property, buying and selling companies, due diligence and contracts. I give you clarity on what you are signing, prevent blockages and unnecessary risks, and stay with you until closing.
Before you choose
Most of the problems in a transaction can be avoided before the first signature.
Personally or through a company: the decision changes succession, tax and financing.
A property, some shares or a business. Each carries different risks.
Ownership, encumbrances, powers and authorisations are checked before paying, not afterwards.
Delays, breaches and exits. You need to know what the contract provides before you sign.
Banks, developers and registries will ask for it. Having the documents ready avoids blockages at closing.
Comparison
Each type of transaction calls for a different review. This is the first thing I look at in each.
For those buying an asset already built and registered.
For those buying from a developer before the work is finished.
For those acquiring a going concern.
What I see go wrong
The first document put in front of you can already bind you and cost you money.
Registration fees, developer charges and outstanding payments change the final amount of the transaction.
Along with the business you buy its debts, its contracts and its breaches.
Resale, inheritance and tax in your country are largely decided on the day you buy.
From start to finish
You tell me about your situation, whether you are abroad or already in the Emirates. This conversation is to understand it, not to sell you a structure.
I analyse your case and explain your options, what each one involves and which I recommend, with its legal basis.
Before we start, you know what will be done, by when and what it will cost.
I handle your matter from start to finish as your single point of contact, and I stay with you afterwards, letting you know when something that affects you changes.
Common questions
Yes, in areas designated for foreign ownership. Before buying you have to confirm the area, the type of ownership and whether your purchasing vehicle can appear as owner.
It depends on your residence, your heirs and what you want to do with the property. A company can make succession or the entry of partners easier, but it has costs and obligations. I analyse it before you sign the reservation.
It is the review of the legal position of what you are going to buy: ownership, contracts, debts, licences and possible contingencies. It helps you decide whether to go ahead, at what price and with what warranties.
It can. The Golden Visa through property investment requires, among other conditions, a minimum investment of AED 2 million. If that is your objective, the conditions should be checked before you buy.
It depends on where you are tax resident. Many countries require you to pay tax on the income and, in certain cases, to report assets held abroad. I coordinate this with your adviser back home.
I reply personally and suggest the first step.
