Maintenance-focused property management for Dubai landlords — 12 in-house trades handle everything: AC servicing, plumbing, electrical, painting, pest control, tenant turnover, vacant property care. AED 1,500-6,000/month. Monthly photo reports. 2-hour emergency response. We maintain properties — not just manage paperwork.
Most Dubai property managers are paper-pushers who outsource every repair at 30-50% markup. We're the opposite.
Traditional PMs outsource AC, plumbing, and electrical to the cheapest handyman — then mark it up 30-50% before billing you. We have 12 in-house trades. Zero middleman. You pay trade cost. AED 8,000-15,000 saved annually on a typical villa.
Most PMs collect rent, forward tenant complaints, and send you the bill. They don't physically maintain the property. We do quarterly inspections, preventive AC servicing, plumbing checks, pest control — all hands-on, all documented with photos.
Empty properties in Dubai deteriorate fast — AC mould, plumbing stagnation, pest infestation, dust damage. Most PMs don't visit vacant properties. We run AC weekly, flush plumbing monthly, treat pests quarterly — property stays market-ready.
Tenant leaves. PM calls 5 different contractors. Painter takes a week, plumber another, cleaning another. We do the entire turnover in 3-5 days — painting, repairs, deep clean, pest control, AC service — all one team. You lose 3 days of rent, not 3 weeks.
Same project, two very different outcomes. Here's exactly how our service compares to the industry standard.

We maintain properties — not just manage paperwork. 12 in-house trades. Zero outsourcing.
AC, plumbing, electrical, painting, waterproofing, joinery, glass, tiling, pest control, deep cleaning, landscaping, pool — all our own employed teams. No subcontractors. No markups. No 'waiting for the plumber to be available.'
Monthly photo reports. Video walk-throughs on request. WhatsApp updates for every maintenance event. Financial tracking. You see everything — from London, Mumbai, or Sydney — as if you were standing in the property.
Tenant moves out Friday. By Wednesday: walls painted, repairs done, AC serviced, deep cleaned, pest treated, ready for next tenant. One team. One mobilisation. 3 days of lost rent — not 3 weeks.
Empty properties deteriorate in Dubai's climate. We run AC weekly (prevents mould), flush plumbing monthly (prevents stagnation), treat pests quarterly, and inspect every room. Property stays market-ready for instant tenant placement.
Traditional PMs mark up every repair 30-50%. We're the repair company — you pay trade cost for parts, zero markup on labour. On a typical villa, this saves AED 8,000-15,000/year vs a traditional PM.

All maintenance in-house · zero outsourcing markup · monthly photo reports
4.9/5 rating. Real feedback from property owners — local and overseas.
"I live in London and own 3 Dubai villas. Switched from a traditional PM to First Unicorn 18 months ago. My annual maintenance costs dropped 40% because they don't outsource and markup — they ARE the maintenance company. Monthly photo reports show me exactly what's happening."
"Tenant moved out on a Thursday. By Monday — painted, repaired, cleaned, AC serviced, pest treated, ready for viewing. Previous PM took 3 weeks and 4 different contractors. That's 2 weeks of rent I'm not losing anymore."
"My Palm villa sits empty 9 months a year. Previous PM checked it once a month — found mould in 3 ACs after 4 months. First Unicorn runs the ACs weekly, flushes plumbing monthly. No mould, no stagnation, property is perfect when I arrive."
Transparent track record. Updated quarterly. No marketing fluff — just numbers.
The questions every landlord asks before choosing a PM. WhatsApp us — 60-minute response.
Our maintenance-focused PM starts from AED 1,500/month for a single property. Premium (villa/multi-unit): AED 2,500-4,500/month. Portfolio (3+ properties): AED 4,500-6,000/month. Traditional PMs charge 5-8% of annual rent but outsource all maintenance at 30-50% markup — making total cost higher. Our model includes all maintenance labour at zero markup.
They're real estate agencies that added PM services. We're a renovation + maintenance company that added property management. The difference: when something breaks, they call a subcontractor and mark it up 30-50%. We send our own team and charge trade cost. On a typical villa, this saves AED 8,000-15,000/year in maintenance costs alone.
We partner with licensed real estate agencies for tenant sourcing (standard one month's rent commission). Our strength is what happens AFTER the tenant moves in — maintenance, inspections, turnover, vacant care. We don't pretend to be a real estate agency; we do what we're best at.
Monthly photo reports (room-by-room), digital maintenance log, financial tracking, WhatsApp updates for every maintenance event. Video walk-throughs on request. You see everything as if you were standing in the property. Quarterly review calls to discuss condition, costs, and recommendations.
2 hours guaranteed, 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Our own technician — not a subcontractor we need to find first. For comparison, traditional PMs typically respond next business day because they need to source and coordinate a contractor.
We do the entire turnover in 3-5 days: move-out snagging inspection, repairs, painting, AC service, deep cleaning, pest treatment, move-in preparation. One team, one mobilisation. Traditional PMs coordinate 4-5 separate contractors — taking 2-3 weeks. Every extra day = lost rent.
We run AC weekly (prevents mould in Dubai's humidity), flush plumbing monthly (prevents stagnation and smell), treat pests quarterly, inspect every room monthly. Property stays market-ready for instant tenant placement. Traditional PMs often just do a monthly walk-through.
Yes — we handle Ejari registration, DEWA transfers, and building access card coordination. These administrative tasks are included in Premium and Portfolio tiers.
Absolutely. We manage properties regardless of who renovated them. However, properties we renovated get a 20% discount because we already know every system, pipe, and wire — zero learning curve.
Tenant sourcing (via agency partner, standard commission), major renovation (quoted separately at direct cost), RERA disputes (we recommend legal partners), insurance, and RERA rental index adjustments. All maintenance labour and coordination is included.
All Dubai communities: Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, Meadows, Springs, JVC, JVT, Downtown, Marina, JBR, Business Bay, and all others. Portfolio discounts for 3+ properties in the same community.
