Western VAS delivers commercial Property Valuation in Dubai as a RICS-regulated practice. Our valuation and advisory work is delivered under strict independence and conflict-of-interest controls, so every report is unbiased, bankable and built to be relied upon. Our work follows the RICS Global Standards incorporating IVS and IFRS, which is why our reports are trusted by banks, auditors and the UAE courts. We assess location, tenant covenant, lease terms, yield and market demand to reach a realistic, well-supported conclusion, and also provide industrial property valuation and property portfolio valuation for clients who need wider coverage.
Each engagement covers offices, retail units, mixed-use developments and investment properties. Beyond the figure itself, you receive a clear, defensible report suitable for secured lending, IFRS financial reporting, transactions and dispute resolution — backed by more than 14 years of experience and over AED 70 billion in assets valued. Where a broader mandate is required, we also support clients with property valuation across Dubai.

Structured to withstand audit, lender and court scrutiny.Who can legally value property in the UAE?
In Dubai, only valuers registered with RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) under the Dubai Land Department may issue property valuations; Abu Dhabi requires ADREC approval. Western VAS holds both, alongside RICS regulation — ensuring our valuations are legally recognized and accepted by authorities, banks, and courts.
What's the difference between RERA, DLD, and RICS valuations?
They aren’t competing methods — they’re layers of authority. DLD and RERA grant the legal mandate to value property in Dubai; ADREC does so in Abu Dhabi. RICS sets the global professional standard (the Red Book). A credible UAE valuation carries both: local registration and RICS compliance.
Which valuation method do you use?
Primarily the Income/Investment approach for income-producing assets, cross-checked with comparable market evidence. The method is selected to suit the asset, its tenancy, and the purpose of the valuation.
What documents are required for a commercial valuation?
Typically: title deed, lease or tenancy schedule, site and floor plans, service charge details, and any recent transaction or cost data. For income-producing assets, we also request rent rolls and incentive details. We confirm exact requirements at instruction, based on the asset and valuation purpose.
Do you value for IFRS reporting?
Yes — Fair Value under IFRS 13 for investment property, prepared to withstand Big 4 audit scrutiny and support financial statements under IAS 40.
Can you value part-let or vacant assets?
Yes. We reflect voids, rent-free periods, incentives, and reversionary potential, valuing on the appropriate basis whether fully let, part-let, or vacant.
How is rental value assessed for office and retail space?
Through current market evidence — comparable lettings, achieved rents, and incentive packages — adjusted for floor, fit-out, location, and covenant strength to arrive at a supportable market rent.
Are your reports accepted by banks, auditors, and courts?
Yes. As a RICS-regulated, DLD-accredited, and RERA-registered firm, our reports are routinely relied upon by lenders, auditors, and the Dubai Courts.
