OUR VISION
Make the most profitable investment — the safe, transparent way.
Palmera was founded out of frustration. In a world where a “real-estate broker” is supposed to be a long-term partner, most brokers vanish the moment the deal is signed. We built Palmera to do the exact opposite: guidance that starts with the first call and stays with you through the whole journey — handover, tenant management, and, when the time comes, planning your exit.
We're not a giant firm with 500 agents passing you from hand to hand. We're a boutique team of eight who know every client personally.
We look at a new-build scheme the way a careful solicitor would: the lease, the service charge, the stamp duty and the completion timetable come before the price.
No improvising, no “guaranteed returns,” no jargon to decode alone. Just experience, transparency, and follow-through — from your first studio to a multi-unit portfolio.
THE TEAM
Eight people who know every client personally.
A team that works with international buyers every day, from our base in Dubai, in the language they think in.

DEVELOPER PARTNERS
The developers building England's new homes.
Each scheme page names its developer, with what a buyer checks before reserving: the lease, the new-home warranty, the service charge budget and the completion timetable.
UK developersNamed on every scheme page rather than in a logo wall.
HOW IT WORKS
The lifecycle doesn't end at purchase.
We stay with you from the first call through handover and beyond — here's the full six-stage journey.
01
Property selection
A personal consultation, a shortlist matched to your goals, and a virtual or in-person tour of the projects.
02
Sign & pay
Digital booking form, initial payment, and hands-on support through SPA review and registration at HM Land Registry.
03
Construction period
Regular build-progress updates, payment-plan management, and immediate problem-solving — typically 2–4 years.
04
Key handover
Quality snagging, registration at HM Land Registry, and your keys — collected in person or by power of attorney.
05
Rental & management
First-tenant marketing, ongoing management, rent collection, and full maintenance — so the unit earns from day one.
06
Exit planning
When it's time to sell, we secure the best deal in our market — and handle the resale end to end.
GLOBAL PRESENCE
In the UK. In the UAE. In Bali and Thailand. And beyond.
The UK is one of our markets, and one team covers them all, so a client weighing a home in England against Dubai, Bali or Thailand keeps the same advisor throughout.

360° SERVICE
Not just real estate. Everything around it.
Buying in England doesn't end at reservation. There is exchange, stage payments, the new-home warranty and completion to manage, and we stay with you through all of it.
Visas and residence
The UK has no visa based on buying property. Time spent in the UK can make you UK tax resident, though, so we point you to a tax adviser before you plan long stays.
Company formation
For a single flat a company usually costs more: the 17% stamp duty rate, the yearly ATED charge above £500,000 and no inheritance tax advantage. Where a structure makes sense, we introduce the advisers who set it up.
Property management
Tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance, and short-let licensing — all coordinated for you.
Legal, wills & escrow
Title transfer, secure escrow money transfer, and wills & probate — structured around your family and your goals, handled in-house.

We help investors make the right investment for them in UK real estate, with professional, safe, and transparent guidance from first question to completion.
