Why This Listing Is Classified as Off-Plan Distress

The agent describes this as a below-OP deal and says it is the lowest-priced one-bedroom in the project. However, the original purchase price was not supplied, so DPF cannot calculate or confirm a discount against OP, and the lowest-price claim has not been verified. Because Sobha Central is still under construction, the listing is classified as an off-plan distress resale.

For context only, published project information shows one-bedroom launch pricing starting from around AED 1.78 million. That is a general project figure, not this unit's original price. Buyers should request the seller's SPA to confirm the actual OP and amount paid.

Price arithmetic

AED 1,470,000 divided by 588 sq ft gives an asking rate of approximately AED 2,500 per sq ft.

Payment Position

The agent lists the remaining schedule as four instalments of 10% each up to October 2028, plus 40% on completion, which totals 80% of the purchase price still to be paid. That implies roughly 20% has been paid so far. Because the original price was not supplied, the AED value of these instalments cannot be calculated. Buyers should confirm the paid amount, each remaining instalment and how the AED 1,470,000 asking price is split between the seller and Sobha.
