Data Coverage

Property listings, asking prices, rental yields, off-plan inventory, developer launches, agent data

Actowiz Solutions architected a real-estate data aggregation pipeline for a Dubai-based PropTech startup — combining Bayut, Property Finder, and dubizzle Property listings into a unified investor-grade dataset covering both ready and off-plan inventory across all seven emirates.

Client Overview

The client is a Dubai-headquartered PropTech startup serving international real-estate investors with an AI-powered UAE property investment platform. With Dubai's property market growing 19% in 2024 alone and off-plan transactions hitting record volumes, real-time multi-source data was essential to underwriting investment decisions.

Bayut and Property Finder dominate UAE property search, with dubizzle Property providing significant additional coverage. Triangulating all three is the only way to achieve true UAE market completeness.

Business Challenges

Off-Plan Inventory Complexity

Off-plan transactions account for 60%+ of Dubai sales; tracking developer launches, payment plans, and handover schedules required specialised parsing beyond standard listing scraping.

Bilingual Listings (Arabic + English)

'Many listings appeared in both Arabic and English with subtle differences; deduplication required language-aware matching.

Developer & Project Resolution

Same building was often referred to differently across portals ('Damac Hills' vs 'Damac Hills 2' vs 'Akoya') — entity resolution was critical.

Rental Yield Calculation Complexity

UAE rents are typically quoted annually with cheque-payment frequencies (1, 4, 12 cheques) affecting effective yield.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

Aggregate Bayut, Property Finder & dubizzle Property listings across UAE
Track off-plan launches and developer payment plans in real-time
Resolve building and project names across portals with 95%+ accuracy
Deduplicate bilingual Arabic-English listings
Compute true rental yields adjusted for UAE cheque-payment conventions

Actowiz Solutions Approach

Multi-Portal UAE Crawl Stack

Dedicated crawlers per portal with UAE-region residential proxies, Playwright browser automation, and bilingual content handling.

Off-Plan Inventory Parser

Specialised parser for developer launches — capturing handover dates, payment plans, total inventory, and unit-mix breakdowns from off-plan project pages.

Project & Building Entity Resolution

Built a master taxonomy mapping 2,800+ Dubai buildings and 350+ off-plan projects across name variations in English and Arabic.

Yield Calculation Engine

Normalised rental quotes to annualised effective yields, adjusting for cheque-payment frequency, service charges, and amenity-fee differences.

REST API + Investor Dashboards

Sub-second query response, polygon search by Dubai community, and webhook alerts for new launches matching investor criteria.
