The end of Ramadan marks the beginning of a long weekend for the Eid holiday and the completion of the many special offers from the developers in Dubai
It has been a busy month for both sales and rentals, we have rented the last of our clients' apartments in Belgravia 1 and have managed to secure some of the highest rents for one and two bedroom apartments in the area. This bodes very well for investors and the developers' other projects in JVC, Belgravia 2 and Eaton Place
Emaar and Nshama started it and now almost all the other developers have followed up with special offers for Ramadan making this June an even greater "buyers market" for off-plan property.
Emaar gave us an offer for one day only where they covered the 4% registration fee combined with a payment plan of 40% over two years post handover, they extended for a few more days but now they are back to normal though I suspect another offer day before Eid al-Fitr which is expected on or before the 24th June.
