Why the Price Qualifies as Below OP

The agent states the original purchase price was AED 2,480,432 and the asking price is AED 2,000,000, representing a saving of AED 480,432 (19.4%). The agent described the discount as 15.7%, but the arithmetic from the stated figures (480,432 / 2,480,432) produces 19.4%, meaning the actual discount is larger than advertised.

The original price of AED 2,480,432 is a specific figure consistent with an actual SPA price rather than an approximation, lending credibility to the stated benchmark. Developer starting prices for 1 bedroom Bayz 101 apartments range from AED 1,175,000 to AED 2,246,000. The OP was at the premium end of this range, likely reflecting the high-floor position. At AED 2,000,000, the buyer acquires a high-floor unit at a price within the mid-range of current 1 bedroom pricing. The original price should be verified against the seller's SPA.

Post-Handover Payment Plan

Danube Properties 2 offers a 74/26 payment plan for Bayz 101: 10% booking fee, 54% during construction in monthly instalments, 6% on handover in Q2 2028, and 26% post-handover spread over 26 months (approximately 1% monthly until August 2030). This extended payment structure allows buyers to spread their financial commitment beyond handover, reducing the upfront capital requirement compared to standard 80/20 or 60/40 plans.

For this resale, the buyer would need to reimburse the seller for amounts already paid and assume the remaining payment obligations with Danube. The exact remaining balance, instalment schedule, and transfer mechanics should be confirmed with the developer. A No Objection Certificate from Danube Properties 2 is required.
