Why This Is Classified as Off-Plan Distress

The agent describes this deal as below the original purchase price, but the brief does not state what that original price was. Without it, DPF cannot verify the claim or calculate a discount, so this listing is classified as an off-plan distress resale rather than Below OP.

The agent quotes an asking range of AED 2.15 million to AED 2.2 million. DPF lists the lower figure. At the top of the range, the rate would be about AED 996 per square foot. Buyers should request the SPA to see the original price for themselves.

About DAMAC Islands and the Fiji Cluster

DAMAC Islands is a master community by DAMAC Properties in Dubailand, launched in November 2024. It is organised into six island-inspired clusters named after Maldives, Bora Bora, Seychelles, Hawaii, Bali and Fiji, with a mix of townhouses and larger villas.

At launch, DAMAC announced lagoons, waterfalls, an Aqua Dome for water activities, a hot springs spa, a bird park, mini golf, paddle boat rides, dining venues and a residents clubhouse. These are developer-announced plans for a community still under construction and may change.

Layout and Size

The agent describes a G+1 back-to-back townhouse, meaning a ground floor plus one upper floor, attached to a neighbouring unit at the rear. It has four bedrooms plus a maid's room and a stated size of 2,208 sqft. Check the floor plan to confirm whether this figure is the built-up area or includes the plot. Bathroom count, parking and unit number were not supplied.

Payment Plan and Handover

According to the agent, 49% of the purchase price has been paid and the Oqood, the Dubai Land Department's off-plan registration, is in place. The remaining balance, its instalment dates and the expected handover were not supplied. Buyers should obtain a DAMAC statement of account and confirm the handover date in the SPA before committing.

Buying Costs

Off-plan resales in Dubai are normally subject to a 4% Dubai Land Department fee on the purchase price, about AED 86,000 at the asking price, plus developer transfer charges and agency fees. How the seller's paid amount is reimbursed, and who pays each fee, should be agreed in writing.
