AED 500,000 Below OP | 9.17% Distress | Buyer All-In Below Seller Total | 3BR Standalone Corner Villa | G+1 | 2,959 Sq Ft BUA | 3,562 Sq Ft Plot | Prime Location | 65/35 Plan | The Wilds by Aldar
A distress deal of AED 500,000 below the documented original price — confirmed in the seller's own disclosure. Original price AED 5,450,000. Distress selling price AED 4,950,000. Saving AED 500,000 — 9.17% below the seller's documented purchase price. But the deeper and more decisive distress layer is the super distress calculation: the seller's total documented cost including the 4% DLD they paid at registration is approximately AED 5,668,000. The buyer's own all-in — purchase price plus buyer DLD (4%), agency (2% plus VAT), and admin — is approximately AED 5,252,530. That buyer all-in is approximately AED 415,470 below the seller's total documented investment. The buyer completes every transaction cost at their own expense and arrives at a fully-loaded acquisition cost approximately AED 415,470 lower than what the seller originally paid. This is the definition of super distress — the seller exits at a confirmed, double-documented loss and the buyer enters with structural equity from day one. The property is a 3-bedroom standalone G+1 villa — not a townhouse, not a semi-detached — a genuinely independent detached structure delivering the full private villa experience on a 3,562 sq ft plot within The Wilds by Aldar. The corner unit designation is the most premium positional attribute within any Cassia 3 villa row: corner villas have two exposed elevations rather than one, providing more natural light, better ventilation, wider site lines from the garden, and the additional visual privacy and openness that internal non-corner units cannot provide. The seller specifically designates this as one of the best locations in the community — a claim that buyers viewing the plot position within Cassia 3, The Wilds will be able to verify on inspection. At AED 4,950,000 — AED 500,000 below OP — the first qualified buyer who engages captures both the seller's documented loss and the corner premium at the lowest available price.

The seller paid AED 5,450,000 plus approximately AED 218,000 in DLD — a total documented cost of approximately AED 5,668,000. The buyer pays AED 4,950,000 plus their own DLD, agency, and admin — approximately AED 5,252,530 total. The buyer all-in is approximately AED 415,470 below what the seller originally invested. The seller exits at a confirmed, fully documented loss on a corner standalone villa in one of the best positions in The Wilds. The buyer enters at structural equity of approximately AED 415,470 relative to the seller's own cost basis — from the first day of ownership.
Corner Unit — The Premium Positional Attribute in Cassia 3
A corner unit in any villa community is a defined and consistently premium positional designation — providing attributes that internal non-corner units in the same row simply cannot replicate. A corner standalone villa in Cassia 3 has two exposed side elevations rather than one, meaning two sides of the villa face open space rather than sharing a boundary with the adjacent villa. This translates to: more natural light entering the villa from two directions rather than one; better cross-ventilation through the villa from two open elevations; a wider and more open garden environment on two sides rather than the single rear garden of a non-corner unit; greater acoustic separation from neighbouring properties; and the visual openness and sense of spatial generosity that buyers specifically describe as making a corner villa feel fundamentally different from an interior-position equivalent. For the family living in the villa, the corner position provides a daily experiential quality — light, air, openness — that cannot be purchased by renovation or furnishing upgrade after the fact. It is a structural and positional attribute permanently embedded in this specific plot's relationship to its neighbours and the streetscape. At AED 4,950,000 — AED 500,000 below OP — this corner premium is being transferred to the buyer as part of the distress price rather than as an addition to a market-rate asking price.
What G+1 Standalone Means — A Genuine Villa Product
A Ground plus First Floor standalone villa is a meaningfully different residential product from a townhouse or a semi-detached unit. Standalone means the structure is a completely independent, detached building — four external elevations, no shared walls with any neighbouring property, full private access on all sides of the plot. G+1 means the villa spans two full floors of accommodation — ground floor for the main living, dining, kitchen, and service programme, and first floor for the bedroom suites. Across 2,959 sq ft of built-up area on a 3,562 sq ft plot, a G+1 standalone layout delivers genuinely spacious room proportions on each level without the compressed ceiling heights or compromised room widths that single-storey designs sometimes impose at this footprint size. The ground floor can accommodate a grand living and dining area, a fully fitted kitchen with service access, a guest suite or maid's room, and direct garden access — all at proportions appropriate to a luxury family villa. The first floor delivers the private bedroom programme across three suites with the master suite, master bathroom, and upper-floor family or study space that a G+1 villa format enables. This is the full family villa experience at AED 1,673 per sq ft — a rate that reflects the seller's distress rather than the market's assessed value of an Aldar-built standalone corner villa in The Wilds.

The 65/35 Payment Plan — How It Works for the Assignment Buyer
The 65/35 payment plan means 65% of the purchase price is payable during construction and 35% is payable at handover. On a distress assignment of AED 4,950,000, the structure works as follows: the seller has already paid a portion of the 65% construction-phase instalments to Aldar; the buyer pays the seller the amount already paid to Aldar (plus any agreed premium or at the distress price agreed between buyer and seller); the buyer then assumes the remaining construction-phase instalments directly to Aldar; and the buyer pays the 35% handover tranche (AED 1,732,500 on a AED 4,950,000 transaction) directly to Aldar at the point of title deed transfer and key handover. The exact amount paid to Aldar to date, the remaining construction-phase instalments, and the handover payment amount are available on request from our team together with the full Aldar payment schedule documentation. The 35% handover tranche provides the buyer with a deferred payment structure that allows them to arrange the handover funding in advance of the delivery date rather than deploying the full capital immediately.
