Finding the perfect home can be challenging, especially when navigating a new property market. For Anam Clarke, a long-time Dubai resident, the journey to owning her dream home was made easier with the help of Property Finder. In her recent interview, Anam shared her experience of purchasing her home in Dubai, offering valuable insights for anyone looking to make a similar move.
From Longtime Resident to Homeowner
Anam Clarke has called Dubai home for nearly 18 years. She moved to the city from the UK, where she met her husband, got married and started a family. With business and family ties firmly established, Dubai is not just a place to live – it’s home.
“Dubai is home for me. My family lives here and it’s where we’ve built our lives together,” she shares. Having spent so many years in Dubai, Anam and her family were ready to settle into a home that would support their growing needs. For Anam, finding the right community was key.
The Search for the Perfect Neighborhood
The Springs, along with its neighbouring communities of The Lakes and The Meadows, had always been on Anam’s wish list. The decision was a big one, as the family needed a place that would be both family-friendly and close to the heart of Dubai. “For me, The Springs is like Wisteria Lane – there are children playing outside, it’s really safe, and there are parks, lakes and play areas,” Anam explains. “It was a no-brainer for us.“

The Power of Verified Listings
For someone who had rented properties in Dubai before, Anam found Property Finder’s user-friendly listings portal to be a game-changer in her home-buying journey. One standout feature for her was the verified listings.
“The great thing about Property Finder is the verified listings,” Anam says. Verified listings on Property Finder adhere to high-quality standards, ensuring that these properties have been thoroughly vetted, giving users confidence that they are exploring genuine options. This is a key feature for anyone looking to buy or rent in a market as dynamic as Dubai.
Trust in Super Agents
In addition to Property Finder’s verified listings, Anam praised the services of the Property Finder Super Agent she worked with. Super Agents are the best in the business, offering exceptional customer service and high-quality listings. For Anam and her family, one Super Agent stood out.
“We’ve been working with Harry Ogilvie from Espace Real Estate for a very long time. He’s one of our favorites,” Anam notes.
Super Agents on Property Finder are carefully vetted for their high ratings, excellent response rates, and commitment to verified listings. Working with an agent who genuinely cares about their clients’ needs can make all the difference when buying a property.
A Smooth Mortgage Process with Mortgage Finder
As a self-employed individual, Anam initially thought getting a mortgage might be more complicated. However, with the help of Mortgage Finder, the process was simpler and more accessible than she had anticipated.
“I didn’t realize how simple it could be,” Anam says. “Mortgage Finder really took it up a level and made everything so much easier.“
Using Property Finder’s mortgage calculator, Anam was able to assess her affordability quickly. “When we finally secured our mortgage, we were ecstatic,” Anam shares. “The amount we were quoted was much higher than what we had been told by other companies, which opened up a whole new range of properties for us.“
Thanks to the support of Mortgage Finder, Anam and her family were able to secure a mortgage that helped them purchase their dream home in The Springs.
Advice for Future Homebuyers
Reflecting on her experience, Anam offers some valuable advice to those who may be uncertain about their property journey.
“My advice would be to ask. You might be planning for the future, or you might not even realize what you can do now,” she suggests. “Mortgage Finder made the process so simple for me as a self-employed individual. I never thought I could buy a property this soon, but it turned out that I could. The property market in Dubai is constantly evolving, and now’s the time to ask about your options.”
With the support of Property Finder, its verified listings, and Mortgage Finder’s expertise, Anam was able to make her dream of homeownership a reality.
