Mulki

Dubai property, managed from anywhere.

A live record of your Dubai property, wherever you happen to be.

The shape of it

Owning from abroad usually means trusting somebody local and hoping. This replaces the hoping with a record.

What changes

  • The official record, in your pocket.

    Built from the documents the Land Department issued you, shared through UAE PASS. No phone calls to the broker, no waiting for a quarterly statement.

  • Vetted local hands, on your tap.

    Maintenance, painting, AC, snagging. Booked through Mulki with a fixed quote.

  • Pay AED, get paid AED, see it all in your home currency.

    Service charges, rental income, capital movement. All displayed in your currency of choice, with the AED original one tap away.

  • Time-zone-aware reporting.

    Receive monthly summaries, year-end reports, and renewal reminders in the inbox of the time zone you actually live in.

The promise

The record sits in Dubai and so do the invoices. Mulki brings both to whatever time zone you are in.

Owning in Dubai from another time zone

Distance does not change the arithmetic, it changes the latency. The title deed, the Ejari contract and the service charge invoice all sit in Dubai. You are not. Every question that would take a phone call locally becomes an email chain, and the answers arrive after the thing you needed them for.

The two costs that overseas owners most often miscount are the service charge and the void. Neither shows up in the rent figure an agent quotes. Work the real position with the rental yield calculator and read the real cost of owning in Dubai for the full annual ledger, including the charges that fall due whether or not the unit is let.

At renewal, Decree 43 sets a legal ceiling on what you can raise, based on how far the current rent sits below the RERA index for that area. Dubai rent increases sets out the bands, and the rent increase checker gives the number for your own contract. If the tenancy is not registered, Ejari registration is the first thing to fix, because without it the increase is not enforceable.

For valuation, the registered comparable matters more than the listing price, and how Dubai property is valued sets out which comparables a valuer will accept. If ownership is part of a residency plan, the property Golden Visa covers the AED 2 million threshold and how it is assessed.

Questions

How do I manage a Dubai property from abroad?
You need three things working without you: a live record of value and costs, a trusted way to get maintenance done, and reporting that reaches you on time. Mulki pulls the official DLD record into your pocket, books vetted local trades with fixed quotes and photo proof, and sends summaries in your own time zone, so you never have to fly in or chase a broker.
Can I rent out my Dubai property while living overseas?
Yes. Non-resident owners let property freely; the tenancy still registers through Ejari, and any increase at renewal still follows the Decree 43 brackets.
Do I pay UAE tax on Dubai rental income as a non-resident?
The UAE charges individuals no personal income tax and no capital gains tax on residential property, so the rent and any gain are yours. Your own country of residence may still tax foreign income, so check the rules where you live.
How do I get maintenance done on a property I can't visit?
Book it through someone who sends a fixed quote before the work and photos plus receipts after. Mulki handles maintenance, painting, AC and snagging this way, logged to your account, so distance stops meaning either neglect or blind trust in whoever holds the keys.
