Property Highlights

• Off-plan four-bedroom villa (G+1) at Sobha Elwood, Dubailand
• 5,007 sq ft with a private pool and garden
• Priced AED 890,000 (about 10.4%) below the stated original cost including DLD
• Forest-themed community with 10,000+ trees and seven themed parks
• Asking price of AED 7,700,000 (approximately AED 1,538 per sq ft); handover July 2028

Why the Price Qualifies as Below OP

The seller states the villa was originally purchased for AED 8,590,000, a figure stated as including DLD — that is, the original buyer's total acquisition cost. Against the current asking price of AED 7,700,000, this represents:

• Savings amount: AED 890,000
• Savings versus the stated original cost: about 10.4%
• Indicative rate: approximately AED 1,538 per sq ft, based on the 5,007 sq ft size

The brief described this as "below OP + DLD," which DPF has classified under the CMS value "Below OP," using the AED 8,590,000 all-in cost as the benchmark. The stated original cost is plausible for a Sobha Elwood four-bedroom villa (which start from around AED 7.9M), and the asking price sits below the project's current four-bedroom launch pricing, supporting the distress positioning. Buyers should confirm the exact original price and DLD against the signed SPA and Dubai Land Department records. The original purchase date was not supplied.

Verification Notes

• Agent-supplied facts: four-bedroom villa, 5,007 sq ft, G+1 configuration, off-plan status, AED 7,700,000 asking price, an AED 8,590,000 original purchase price stated as including DLD, and a July 2028 handover.
• Deal classification: mapped from the brief's 'Below OP + DLD' to the CMS-valid 'Below OP', with the AED 8,590,000 all-in cost as the benchmark. Calculated by DPF: savings of AED 890,000 (about 10.4%) and an indicative AED 1,538 per sq ft; consistent with the agent's stated 10.4%.
• Anomaly check: the stated original cost is plausible for a 4-bedroom here (from around AED 7.9M), and the asking is below current launch pricing, so the discount is credible; confirm the OP against the SPA/DLD.
• Researched project facts: developer (Sobha Realty), Sobha Elwood villa sizes, G+1 layout, amenities and handover were taken from Sobha Realty/market sources; handover estimates vary (2027-2028).
• The agent's "10.4% Below OP + DLD" statement is preserved as an attributed agent marketing claim; DPF's own calculation confirms about 10.4%.
