Why the Price Qualifies as a Below OP Deal

The seller's agent states an original purchase price of AED 2,380,000 for this unit. At the current asking price of AED 1,900,000, the savings amount to AED 480,000, or 20.2% below that original price. This benchmark has not been cross-checked against an independent DLD transaction record, so buyers should request the seller's original SPA for confirmation.
