Founder of Prop971

Tasleem Shahid writes Prop971's guides for people buying property in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. She started Prop971 after her own experience as a property buyer in the UAE.

Her guides answer the questions buyers ask before they commit: what homes in an area typically sell for, how prices have changed over the past year, what rent a unit might earn and how a payment plan affects the total cost. The answers come from official DLD and ADREC transaction records wherever the data exists, set out in plain language with the figures shown.
