- Buy-side: we work for the buyer, across every community open to you
- One adviser from first enquiry to handover and beyond
- Independent Omani lawyers, banks and licensed partners for the specialist work
- Built for clients purchasing and owning from abroad
How we work
Dune & Deed is a buy-side advisory. We are not tied to one developer or one community, so the shortlist you receive is drawn from everything open to a foreign buyer in Oman, and the advice includes the option not to buy. One adviser stays with you from the first conversation to handover, and the same team manages the home, lets it or sells it later if you want them to.
Most of our clients are abroad, in the Gulf, the United Kingdom, North America, Pakistan and India, so every service is designed to work remotely: video viewings, digital signing, a limited power of attorney for registration, and reporting you can read on a phone. The specialist work, law, banking, licensing and tax, is done by independent Omani professionals we have used ourselves and introduce by name.

Fees, in plain terms
On most purchases from developers our fee is paid by the developer and costs you nothing; on resales and retained searches a buyer-side fee is agreed in writing before work starts. Management, letting and sales services carry their own published fee schedules. Legal, banking and government fees are paid directly to the professionals and authorities concerned, and we tell you what they will be before you commit. There are no hidden referral arrangements: where we introduce a partner, we say so.
Who we work with
Independent Omani law firms for conveyancing, powers of attorney and company formation; the main Omani banks for personal and corporate accounts; licensed public-relations officers for visa and residency filings; chartered surveyors and snagging inspectors; and the master developers and neighbourhood developers in every community we recommend. We hold registrations with the developers in Sultan Haitham City and on the coast, which is how our clients are placed ahead of public launches.
