For the past three or four years we had been planning to move to Dubai from London for various personal and professional reasons. We had just been waiting for our son to finish primary school as we felt that would be an easier transition for the family.

I originally purchased two apartments in Istanbul with Place Overseas. The apartments were off-plan and have been fully managed and rented out on my behalf since completion. Their team in Istanbul are always on hand to answer any questions that I have. I am happy with the returns I receive from Turkey.

Last month, Place Overseas helped me sell my apartment in Istanbul, which I had originally purchased using them as my agents more than five years ago. I worked with the same advisor since the property was completed and he has helped me with everything – from furnishing, to managing the tenancy, and now to selling.

I spoke with Place Overseas advisors over several months, during which they explained to me that Dubai isn’t just an investment but offers a world-class lifestyle and vibrant opportunities. They made Dubai sound exciting in ways I hadn’t even thought of.

A friend who already lives in Dubai recommended us to contact Place Overseas, and we are glad we did. Since day one, we have been treated with patience, respect, and support. Their agents have been honest, reliable, and we are impressed by their remarkable knowledge of the market.

My reason for buying in Dubai was simple: I wanted a property that qualified for the Golden Visa. I have already invested in other countries, obtained residencies, and diversified my portfolio, so the idea of international investment is not new to me.

Place Overseas helped us relocate to Dubai with our two children and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. They didn’t just help us find a home, they helped us fully settle into a new country. The level of assistance went far beyond a simple real estate transaction.

Coming from the UK, I’m cautious when it comes to overseas investment and had been interested in purchasing a property in Dubai for years. What was different about Place Overseas is that they treated me like a partner from the beginning, not just another client.
