Over the coming years we hope to expand and offer an invaluable tool to the masses, by providing all people within the property market an unbiased and honest account of residences within Dubai and the UAE.

If you are unfamiliar with Mintaga, here is a brief introduction to our website and what we aim to offer people within the property market over the coming years.

What is Mintaga?

Mintaga is a platform that aims to combat the lack of crystal clear information in the property market in the UAE. We understand, and sympathise with the frustrations of consumers, who waste lots of time and money when attempting to find their ideal place to move. There are regularly issues, with buildings or residences that are not apparent until further down the line. By this time the mover is having to endure major inconveniences, or looking for somewhere else to live…

How we aim to help?

Mintaga has gathered the regions largest database of crowd sourced independent property reviews. With this information we aim to provide users with an unbiased insight into different residences, allowing people to make informed decisions when moving. After all, who really knows a place better than past or current residents?

Our website allows users to browse the UAE and see which buildings, residences or communities rank highly within the criteria they consider important to them. An overall score is calculated through the average of six criteria:

  • Community
  • Maintenance
  • Access
  • Amenities
  • Transport
  • Value

If a user would like to know more, they can click though to read specific reviews, and understand individual experiences from living there. This allows users to decide whether a place is worth investigating further or not, making the process far more efficient.

What makes Mintaga different?

Mintaga is completely unbiased. Certain areas of the property market in the UAE are motivated by profit, or another agenda. Our sole purpose is to provide users with clear, unbiased information, so they can make the right choice. Our unique, crowd sourced review database is helping people save time, money and stress.

Mintaga would love for you to get involved. If you are considering a move, use Mintaga’s thousands of reviews to help you make the right choice. Alternatively, if you have constructive feedback, positive or negative, on a current or past residence pay it forward by leaving a review, and contribute to our community.
