FAQ's

How does it work?

From the point of initial contact, we at Encompass Relocations will work closely with you to produce a tailor made service. We are committed to understanding your unique personal needs and are passionate about ensuring that your move to Dubai is as stress-free as possible.

Isn’t that an extra expense that I could avoid?

Moving to another country can be stressful, with the potential for wasting time and money, as you are not familiar with the local practices. Encompass Relocations has the local knowledge required to avoid this, saving you inconvenience and further expense. Our charges are based on our time spent with you (in hours) and are NOT commission based.

Couldn’t I just get in touch with an estate agent?

Estate agents’ salaries are dependent upon you renting a property with them. As a result, not all agents in Dubai will act with your best interests at heart. Having someone with an objective viewpoint accompany you on viewings, will ensure you consider all aspects of the property, not just the “selling points”.

In addition, there is a lot more to your move to Dubai than finding a suitable property to call 'home'. We will help you with the associated issues such as connecting of utilities and registering the contract. We can also offer further services like general orientation and organising driving licenses etc.

How does Encompass Relocations choose which agents to use?

We work with agencies with whom we have built a relationship; based on reliability, honesty, and customer service. It is important to know that they will be there to support beyond the initial “sale”. We do not accept commission from any agents for properties taken.

Why do you use more than one agent?

At Encompass Relocations we use a broad base of agents covering different areas of Dubai. This ensures clients have more options to choose from, rather than just the properties from one agent.

How much will it cost?

Each package can be tailored to suit individual needs, although there are suggested packages detailed under "Our Services".  We will always inform you if it looks like you are going to exceed your agreed package.

When do I need to pay for the service?

50% payment is due at the commencement of services, with the remainder once the service has been delivered, or at the start of additional services.  Payment can be made by bank transfer, in cash or UAE bank cheque.

Do you organise residency visas?

No, as visas are dependent upon you being employed, your HR department will handle the application for visas and national id cards.
