With more than 25 years of experience, we’ve looked after Dubai property like our own. We’re a family firm that helps you buy, rent, let and renovate, and we’re still here after the keys change hands.
“You hear a lot of horror stories between tenants and letting agents. Luckily, my experience with Live Dubai has been a very positive one. From dealing with Mira as the agent, to Mohammed from the handover team. Maebel at head office in particular has been fantastic, she’s an excellent communicator, prompt in her responses and helpful as always.”
“I have been a client of LDI since last 3 years and I must share excellent and timely experiences on all the property management issues. Right from their leadership (Said) to their team (Maebal, Cherry, Hassan), I had a wonderful experience with all of them, they are all attentive, approachable and responsive on any of the tasks at hand.”
“Two years with this agency and I can honestly say Imee has made all the difference. She’s responsive, efficient, and always picks up the phone — no chasing, no waiting. Every request is handled quickly and properly, and she consistently goes above and beyond for her clients.”
“I lived in Lake View for almost a year and had a great experience. The apartment is clean, cozy, bright, and very comfortable to live in. I have no complaints about the maintenance or condition of the apartment – everything was excellent.”
“I had an excellent experience working with Ayman Hoque. He was professional, responsive, and incredibly efficient throughout the entire process. He managed to finalize the entire deal for me on the very same day, which exceeded my expectations.”
“I had an excellent experience working with Jon Carlo, while renting an apartment in Damac Hills 2. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me find the right home.”
“A great experience and smooth onboarding during my rental search... Mr Adil was especially helpful and made sure that all aspects are taken care off and answered all queries patiently... Thank you team for the good work... Keep it up”

Live Dubai began in the UK, helping British expatriates buy property in Dubai. Our team has worked in property since 1993, and we opened in Dubai in 2003 as its first freehold area, Palm Jumeirah, came to market. More than twenty years on we’re still a small, family-run firm, with offices in Barsha Heights and London, and we’re always happy to give advice over a coffee.
