Payment & Handover
The seller's original purchase price inclusive of 4% Dubai Land Department fees was AED 3,816,800. The distress selling price is AED 3,350,000 — a direct saving of AED 466,800, equating to 12.2% below the seller's total cost basis. The buyer assumes the remaining payment plan as per Emaar's developer schedule, including a post-handover payment component as per the developer's official plan, providing flexibility to spread payments beyond handover in Q3 2028. As an off-plan resale, the buyer will step into the seller's existing position within Emaar's plan. Standard buyer costs include an applicable Emaar NOC fee, agency commission, and relevant trustee fees. Note that since 4% DLD was already paid by the seller and is reflected in the original price, DLD applicability on this specific resale transaction should be confirmed with a legal adviser. A full breakdown of the remaining payment schedule, post-handover plan structure, and a complete cost sheet are available on request.
