The short answer
Establish your purpose, total available funds and decision process before choosing a property. Remote buying adds coordination questions; it does not remove the need to verify the property and contract.
Define the brief before the flight
Tell your advisor where you live, which UAE market you are considering, whether you need financing, your intended use and your time horizon. Separate the property budget from funds for fees, furnishing, ongoing expenses and contingencies.
Create a verification trail
Keep the project name, unit details, official records, written commercial terms and signed documents together. Check Dubai project information through DLD and Abu Dhabi market evidence through ADREC. Seek qualified legal advice on the actual transaction.
Plan the years after purchase
Identify who will handle inspections, maintenance, leasing and reporting if you remain overseas. Residency, tax, mortgage eligibility and cross-border transfers need case-specific advice; a property enquiry is not a promise of a visa or financing.
