Why the Price Qualifies as Below Original Price

The brief gives an original price of AED 8,530,000 and an asking price of AED 7,600,000. DPF calculated the difference as AED 930,000, which is 10.9% of the original price. The agent describes the deal as about 10% below the original price plus DLD fee. That wording should be confirmed, because if AED 8.53 million already includes the 4% DLD fee, the discount against the original price alone would be smaller. Buyers should check the SPA and DLD receipt before relying on either figure.

The built-up area and plot were given as minimums. DPF used the lower figures, so the true price per sq ft is likely a little below AED 1,583.

Layout and Position

The agent confirms a 5-bedroom Type C standalone villa in an internal location, away from the community's outer roads. Bathrooms, maid's room, parking, view and the exact villa number were not supplied and are not assumed.

Payment Plan and Handover

The agent states that 55% has been paid and that handover is expected in 2028. If the 55% applies to the original price, the paid amount would be about AED 4.69 million. This is a DPF estimate, not a supplied figure. In an off-plan resale the buyer normally reimburses the seller's paid amount and takes over the remaining instalments to Meraas.
