In depth

One vocabulary, read across four jurisdictions

Property paperwork rarely uses the same word twice across borders. This glossary keeps the definitions honest and jurisdiction-specific — here is how to use it.

Definitions tied to a source, not an opinion

Every entry is drawn from a primary reference — HMRC, RICS, GOV.UK, the Dubai Land Department — rather than a house view, so the meaning holds up when a solicitor or lender reads it back. When a term behaves differently in the UK, the UAE, the EU or the US, the entry says so instead of flattening it into one answer.

From a term to a number

A definition is the start, not the end. Where a term carries a cost — stamp duty, ground rent, EPC-driven works — pair it with the property calculators to model the real figure, or read the longer guides for the workflow around it. Selling and want the number first? Start with a valuation.

Buying or moving across borders

If you are relocating, the vocabulary shifts with the market. Our relocation desks translate the local tenure, tax and financing terms into the ones you already know, and the market data shows where the numbers sit today. When a term still doesn't fit your situation, speak to an advisor.

  • Which jurisdictions does the glossary cover?

    The definitions span the markets we serve — the United Kingdom, the UAE, the wider EU and the US. Where a term means something different from one jurisdiction to the next, the entry spells out the difference rather than giving a single blended answer.

  • Where do the definitions come from?

    Each entry is grounded in a primary source — HMRC, RICS, GOV.UK and the Dubai Land Department among them — so the wording stands up when a lender, solicitor or tax adviser reads it. Every full entry links back to its references.

  • How often is the glossary updated?

    Terms are reviewed as the underlying rules change — for example when stamp duty bands, EPC/MEES requirements or KYC thresholds move — so a definition reflects the current position rather than a historic one.

  • A term I need is not listed — what should I do?

    Tell us. A senior advisor will define it in the context of your transaction and, where it is broadly useful, we add it to the glossary. Start a conversation from the contact page.
