Why This Is Classed as Off-Plan Distress

The listing was submitted as a distress deal on an off-plan unit, so DPF classifies it in its Off-Plan Distress category. However, the asking price is AED 74,112, or 4.6%, above the seller's stated original price, so it is not a discount to the original price. Dividing the price by 747 sq ft gives an asking rate of about AED 2,242 per sq ft.

The buyer would also pay a new DLD transfer fee of about AED 67,000 at 4% of the price, plus agency and trustee fees. The benchmark is the seller's original price as supplied in the agent brief received on 15 October 2026, not a DLD transaction record or independent valuation. Buyers should compare current Club Drive resale prices for 1-bedroom units before deciding whether the premium is justified.
