Propertytrader.ae, a real estate portal launched in January 2014, is now featuring more than 30,000 listings all over UAE, providing extensive details for buying and renting opportunities across both residential and commercial sectors.

With an ever expanding portfolio of properties, an intuitive website design and ranking in over 55 countries, the portal has quickly attracted many of Dubai's prominent estate agents, a statement said.

Each listing provides the buyer with detailed descriptions of the property, high definition photographs and useful details of the surrounding area (street views, maps, metro & bus services and general amenities) are included to provide the prospective buyer with all the necessary information, explained Mohammad Ali Khan, chief technology officer.

"The portal has been designed to make the buying process as simple as possible, providing the buyer with direct contact details of the agents and the ability to save, print and share in social media,” Ali Khan said.

“The site is equipped with many useful tools including a mortgage calculator with Equated Monthly Instalments that calculates what you can expect to spend on your loan and an area price index, which represents an area's maximum, minimum and average prices."

The upcoming 'Developments' section displays property plans from reputed developers, allowing potential buyers to search for off plan properties throughout Dubai.

Development director Adnan Ali said: "According to the Dubai 2014 census of Municipal Corporation, the number of buildings under construction was greater than 51,900 properties.  The 'Developments' section in propertytrader.ae will provide buyers with a specialised searching method for under construction properties and an increase in buying opportunities."

In 2014, Dubai's 10,000+ residential apartment sales accounted for Dh270 million ($73.5 million).

Sales manager Torik Holmes said: "Dubai is increasingly attracting investment opportunities internationally, benefiting from tax-free jurisdiction where you can buy freehold land, with Britons alone investing GBP1.6 billion ($2.46 billion) in 2014.”

“Propertytraders.ae plays a pivotal role in building trust between buyer and seller and we intend to help even more customers find properties across Dubai and expand our global reach by increasing the Dubai property database,” Holmes added. – TradeArabia News Service
