Bullet-Point Property: Dubai No. 67

New legislation for non-government backed developers in Dubai has been proposed by the Real Estate regulatory bodies and its designed to protect investors further.

It's possible that developers will only be able to launch sales on off-plan projects once construction reaches the 50 percent mark. This is intended to reduce the risk of market oversupply and could result in consolidation among smaller private developers.

Presently the law states that the developer must complete 20 percent of the project or they must provide proof of 20 percent of construction funds in addition to a 10 percent performance bond by the contractor. 

This proposal is likely to slow down the pace of off-plan launches in the short term. It will also reduce the current risk of a few developers flooding the market with sometimes lower quality properties at discounted prices and attractive payment plans.

Property discussions this week have been as follows: -

  • Emaar has opened their new show homes at Emaar South located near to the EXPO 2020 site and has also announced their three and four-bedroom Saffron Townhouses which will be launched on Sunday morning. The payment plan will be 50% during construction, 10% on completion and 40% over two years once you have your keys. We do not have prices, but I expect they will be some of the lowest on offer for quality townhouses in all of Dubai. Contact me for more information on Emaar South

 

 

  • Elsewhere in Town Square we can find apartments in Hayat Boulevard and in UNA starting from AED 440k (£85k).
