Here’s exactly how it works:


Step 1: Create your account

  • Sign up at startdeed.com or download the Deed app (iOS and Android).

  • Complete a quick, secure verification process by uploading:

    • A valid passport

    • A selfie

    • Proof of address, dated within the last 3 months and clearly showing:

      • Your full name

      • Your residential address (street, city, country)

      • The issuer’s name or logo

      • The full document page (no cropping)

Accepted documents include:

  • Bank documents: bank statement, credit card statement, or official bank letter

  • Utility or telecom bills: electricity, water, gas, internet, or mobile

  • Lease or tenancy contract: signed, stamped, and valid

  • Title deed: only if it clearly shows your full name and residential address

You can then:

  • Add funds to your Deed wallet in advance, or

  • Invest directly via debit card or bank transfer when you’re ready.

Step 2: Choose your investment

  • Explore a curated list of income-generating properties in Dubai, selected for their rental potential and location.

  • Each listing includes expected returns, full financials, legal structure, and timeline.

  • Select how much you want to invest, add the property to your cart, and complete payment securely.

Once confirmed, your investment is recorded and visible in your dashboard.
You can track funding progress and access your transaction history anytime.


Step 3: Receive your ownership certificate

  • After the property is fully funded and acquired, a dedicated SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) is formed to legally hold the property.

  • You’ll receive a share certificate confirming your fractional ownership in that SPV.

  • This document will be uploaded to your dashboard for secure access and record-keeping.

Each property shows an estimated timeline to completion — typically a few weeks, depending on funding and legal setup.


Step 4: Earn rental income

  • Once the acquisition process is complete, you’ll start receiving your share of the rental income.

  • Rental income is deposited into your Deed wallet on a monthly basis.

You can:

  • Reinvest into new properties

  • Let your balance grow

  • Or withdraw your earnings to your bank account at any time

Rental income typically begins 1 to 2 months after the property is fully funded and acquired. We’re constantly working to shorten this timeline.


Built for trust

Deed is licensed by the DIFC and regulated by the DFSA.
All investor funds are held securely in client money accounts until the property acquisition is complete.
