How HNWIs value a Dubai and UAE property portfolio under RICS Red Book standards for financing, Golden Visa and estate planning. ## How Property Is Valued Under RICS Standards Residential and commercial assets are valued using comparable transaction evidence. Income-producing assets are valued by capitalising net rental income at an appropriate yield. Development land is valued using the residual method. Preparing the portfolio on one valuation date and one standard produces a figure banks and regulators accept. ## Where Portfolio Valuations Are Used Consolidated property valuations support refinancing and lending, Golden Visa property submissions, DIFC Wills and estate planning, and annual net worth statements. They also reveal concentration and yield gaps that inform portfolio strategy. ## Why Independent Valuation Beats an Agent Estimate An agent appraisal is a marketing opinion, not a defensible valuation. Banks, courts and authorities require a RICS-aligned report from an independent valuer with no interest in a transaction. That independence is what gives the figure standing. ## Frequently Asked Questions How is a Dubai property portfolio valued? Under RICS Red Book methodology, using comparable sales for standard assets, income capitalisation for rented assets, and the residual method for development land, consolidated on one valuation date. Is an agent valuation enough for a bank or Golden Visa? No. Banks, courts and authorities require an independent RICS-aligned valuation. An agent estimate is a marketing opinion without formal standing. Can one report cover my whole property portfolio? Yes. A single consolidated report values every asset on a consistent date and standard, giving you one defensible portfolio figure. ## Speak to Assetica about Family Office Valuation Assetica is an independent business valuation firm in Dubai.
