More than 35 years of RICS property experience across the UK, UAE and internationally.
Ian Davidson · BSc UES MRICS
Chartered Surveyor
UK & UAE
With more than 35 years of RICS property experience, Ian Davidson is an independent Chartered Surveyor and RICS Registered Valuer providing practical property advice to clients in the UAE, the UK and internationally.
Ian has built his career around helping property owners, investors, landlords and tenants understand the real position of their property and, importantly, what they can do about it.
His established UK practice has worked with more than 2,500 clients and delivered over 1,000 surveys and valuations, covering property with a combined value of more than £1 billion. His experience spans valuation, condition and building surveys, property defects, refurbishment, development and wider property advice.
That experience now extends to the UAE.
The UAE property market continues to attract international buyers, investors, and businesses. But as the market becomes more selective, understanding the individual performance, condition, risks, and potential of a property is increasingly important.
Ian provides an independent perspective for clients who want more than a straightforward valuation or inspection.
Whether you own a villa in Dubai, an apartment, a commercial property or a wider investment portfolio, Ian can help you consider the options available to you.
Should you retain, improve, refinance, or sell?
Sometimes the most useful thing is simply a fresh pair of experienced eyes.
Ian works with UAE-based and international clients, including property owners and investors based in the UK, India, Pakistan, Europe, the United States, Australia and elsewhere.
For landlords and tenants, Ian can provide independent advice when property problems arise, from damp, mould and water ingress to repairs, maintenance, damage and disputes. Where required, he can provide professional property evidence and reports to support the appropriate UAE procedures, working alongside legal advisers.
For owners looking to improve a property, Ian can also advise on refurbishment and upgrade projects, from kitchens, bathrooms and landscaping to swimming pools, entertaining areas and general works. His approach focuses on forward planning, procurement, contractor coordination, quality control and keeping projects moving efficiently.
The objective is straightforward: better information, better decisions and fewer avoidable problems.
Ian Davidson combines the standards and professional experience of an established UK RICS practice with a growing presence in the UAE.
