Your Abu Dhabi Real Estate Advisor
I’m Fares Hussain, a real estate advisor specializing in Abu Dhabi’s real estate market and its most promising investment destinations.
With an academic background in real estate brokerage and infrastructure engineering, I approach every opportunity from multiple perspectives: the quality of the asset, the credibility of the developer, the strength of the location and the long-term investment potential.
My commitment is simple: provide clear, honest advice and help every client make a decision that genuinely serves their goals.
Buying a home or investing in Abu Dhabi real estate starts with a clear objective. Understand property demand, assess the right unit, compare residential areas and follow the steps for a ready or off-plan purchase.
Demand for Abu Dhabi property comes from buyers with different priorities. A primary residence, a second home and a rental investment each serve a different purpose. Identify the buyer your property would appeal to.
On Saadiyat Island, the cultural district and coastal setting are features to consider when assessing buyer preferences. Their relevance depends on the intended use of the property; proximity to a landmark alone does not establish demand or future price growth.
For a buy-to-let investment in Abu Dhabi, identify the likely tenant before estimating rental income. Consider access to employment centres such as ADGM, the size of home that tenant needs and the alternatives available within their rental budget.
Compare similar properties using signed rental agreements where available. Separate advertised rents from achieved rents, and ask about vacancy periods and competing supply before setting your income expectations.
When considering off-plan property in Abu Dhabi, examine the infrastructure around the development. Check existing road access, transport options and the delivery stages of the wider master plan. A completed building can sit within a community that is still taking shape.
Separate operational infrastructure from announced projects. Consider how surrounding construction or delayed connections would affect your intended move-in date, rental launch or holding period. Base your decision on what is confirmed today.
Compare Abu Dhabi apartments, townhouses and villas by usable space, privacy, condition and ongoing ownership costs. Look beyond the advertised size and purchase price to understand what you are buying.
Compare usable living space, room proportions, storage and outdoor areas. Check what the advertised area includes: a larger apartment or villa may devote more space to corridors or terraces than you need.
Check the outlook from the actual floor, neighbouring windows, sunlight and noise. If the asking price includes a sea-view premium, review nearby plots and any documented development plans that could affect that view.
Review the property's condition, service charges and maintenance needs. For off-plan homes, examine the specifications and estimated running costs. Include a repair allowance when calculating your ownership budget or net rental income.

Set your total budget and visit suitable properties. Check the home’s condition, location and whether it is vacant or rented.
Planning a mortgage? Discuss initial approval with your bank early.
Verify the ownership documents and your eligibility to buy. Review service charges, any existing mortgage and the costs of completing the purchase.
Ask for a written breakdown of costs before committing.
Agree the price, payment terms and completion date. Review the sale agreement carefully before signing or paying a deposit.
Make sure deposit terms and any financing conditions are clearly written.
Complete the required approvals and any bank arrangements. Settle the agreed payments and fees through the required process, then register the ownership transfer.
Confirm the documents and payment method required for your particular transaction.
Obtain your ownership documents and arrange handover as agreed. For a vacant home, organise keys, utilities and building access.
If the property is rented, confirm the tenancy arrangements; buying it does not mean you can move in immediately.
Compare the location, layout and payment plan. Check the developer, project registration and official project escrow details before paying.
Confirm which facilities exist today and which are planned for later.
Read the reservation terms before paying the booking amount. Review the sale contract, including the unit details, instalments and expected completion.
Ask what happens if you cancel or completion is delayed.
Confirm the developer completes the off-plan sale registration and obtain your registration certificate. Pay instalments according to your contract.
Keep your contract, registration certificate and payment receipts together.
When invited, inspect the completed property and record defects or unfinished items. Agree how the developer will address them.
This inspection is often called “snagging”.
Complete the contractual payments and handover requirements. Confirm the title deed arrangements, collect your keys and set up utilities and access.
Ask for the handover documents, warranty information and outstanding defect list.

— Fares Hussain —How I Advise
Successful real estate investment is never about choosing a property simply because it looks attractive. It requires understanding your objectives, studying the market, evaluating the opportunity and planning the exit.
Every conversation begins with your goals: investment or personal use, available budget, preferred location, expected holding period and financial priorities.
I assess current prices, comparable transactions, development activity and future supply across Abu Dhabi’s leading investment destinations.
Each opportunity is reviewed through the developer’s track record, project positioning, payment structure, entry price and potential demand.
Before making a commitment, we consider potential resale timing, rental demand and the wider market conditions that may influence your investment.
The entry matters. The strategy determines what happens next.
