Part #1
Criteria for Choosing a Developer in Dubai:
1. Price Statistics: It is important to analyze the adequacy of the prices offered for the properties. It's crucial that the cost matches the actual market value.

2. Construction Time: Punctuality in adhering to the set construction timelines is one of the most important aspects. Delays may indicate project management issues or financial difficulties.

3. Construction Quality: It's important to assess the quality of previously built properties, including the materials used, finishing, durability, and building reliability.

4. Location and Infrastructure: The best developers place their properties in prestigious and sought-after areas. Nearby there should be schools, shops, transportation hubs, and other infrastructure for comfortable living.

5. Security: Special attention should be given to settlement and eviction procedures, as well as the presence of secured areas and buildings.
Part #2
"Red Flags" for Developers in Dubai:
1. Poor Construction Quality and Possible Delays: Insufficient construction quality and potential project delays can be a serious problem for investors.

2. Poor Property Management: Poor property management can lead to additional expenses and a decrease in the property's value.

3. Overpricing: Some developers may overprice real estate, not cooperating with agents, leading to overpayment.

4. Construction Time Extensions: Unjustified construction time delays can lead to investor dissatisfaction.
