1816 Middle East Property Consultancy

Global Access. Local Support. International Wealth.

who we are

1816 Middle East Property Consultancy was established to protect investors — their capital, their strategy, and their future. The Middle East is one of the world’s most dynamic property markets. Yet with over 8,000 brokers and 2,000 developers in Dubai alone, the landscape can be fragmented, aggressive, and often overwhelming.

How we help

Whole-of-Market Access.

Unlike a single broker or developer, 1816 provides unrestricted access to the entire Middle East property market — from world-class off-plan developments to the complete resale sector.

Every property is sourced strategically, ensuring alignment with your portfolio objectives and long-term wealth plan.

More Than Investment

Beyond Investment: Lifestyle, Relocation & Residency.

For many clients, acquiring Middle East property is more than a financial decision — it is about creating options for the future.

Ownership can support relocation packages, retirement strategies, and international residency pathways. Whether you are seeking a family home, a base in Dubai, or diversification that provides flexibility in uncertain times, 1816 secures opportunities that extend beyond investment returns.

MENiS

The Middle East Network in Scotland.

1816 is more than a property consultancy. Through MENiS — the Middle East Network in Scotland — we provide clients with direct access to a curated network of leading professionals across tax, legal, financial, and wealth management disciplines.

  • MENiS offers a full-service advisory ecosystem built to address the complexities of cross-border investment and relocation. This includes expertise in structuring purchases for tax efficiency, navigating international compliance, estate planning, currency management, and family wealth preservation.

  • Every specialist in the network is hand-selected for their proven expertise in bridging UK and Middle East markets. This provides investors with the same caliber of advice normally reserved for global private banks and ultra-high-net-worth offices. The result is a seamless process: your property investment is not an isolated transaction, but part of a comprehensive, safeguarded wealth and lifestyle strategy.

Clarity in a Complex Market.

Dubai alone is projected to double its population in the coming decades, driven by infrastructure, innovation, and stability. For Scottish investors, this represents both growth and diversification. Yet in a marketplace often characterised by hype and pressure, 1816 provides something rare: the reassurance of trust, transparency, and calm certainty.
