This week’s property discussions have included: -

  • We are currently experiencing a "Buyers’ Market" here in Dubai, and this has forced many of the developers to be more competitive on price and payment plans, plus they have had to improve their design, quality and project features. Those developers that are not adapting to these new market conditions and continue to price engineer their projects and not create a quality project will be left behind and so will their disappointed clients. The"Build it, & They Will Come" business model of the previous decade does not work and its now all about quality and thoughtful design combined with value for money to assure a sound investment.

  • I visited a new project last week which is a superb example of the above, ticking all the boxes regarding quality, design, location and price. The Terraces in Meydan is a low rise building featuring spacious duplexes, townhouses, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, set amidst open green spaces minutes away from the Dubai Canal walkway, the planned Metro line and it’s only 5 minutes from Downtown Dubai. The prices are some of the lowest on offer in the area and its possible to find one bed from AED 874k, two beds from AED 1.34m and three beds from AED 2.18m all on a 35/65 payment plan. The developer is so confident of their Q4 2019 delivery date that they are offering to return your money if they are more than six months late. See the brochure here and please email me for more information here

  • Almost anything that this developer releases goes straight to my list of top recommendations and Belgravia Square is no exception. One beds from AED 766k to AED 853k, two beds from AED 1.174m to AED 1.376m and top floor two beds with large outdoor terraces at AED 1.7m to 1.74m. One beds will rent from AED 80k and two beds from AED 105k. Pay 10% + 4% + 1500 now followed by 8 x 5% construction linked instalments and 50% due on completion in Q4 2020.

The latest building has ready to move in one beds from AED 2.5m, two beds from AED 3.2m and AED 4.5m all on a payment plan of 10% now, 10% on handover next month followed by 80% in instalments over the next 3 years post-handover. See the brochure here
