Property Highlights

  • Off-plan low-floor three-bedroom apartment at Bay Grove Residences, Dubai Islands
  • 2,100 sq ft with direct private beach access
  • Priced AED 545,000 (about 11%) below the stated original purchase price
  • About 14.4% below the total cost including 4% DLD
  • Asking price of AED 4,400,000 (approximately AED 2,095 per sq ft)

Why the Price Qualifies as Below OP

The seller states the apartment was originally purchased for AED 4,945,000 (the base price, excluding DLD). Against the current asking price of AED 4,400,000, this represents:

  • Savings versus the base original price: AED 545,000 (about 11%)
  • Savings versus the total cost including 4% DLD (about AED 5,142,800): about AED 742,800 (14.4%)
  • Indicative rate: approximately AED 2,095 per sq ft, based on the 2,100 sq ft size

DPF has verified both figures against the supplied numbers. The original purchase price is seller-stated and plausible for a beach-access three-bedroom at Bay Grove; buyers should confirm the exact figure against the signed SPA and Dubai Land Department records. The original purchase date was not supplied.
