Urgent Sale | 17.4% Below OP | 2 BR + Maid in Bluewaters Bay Building 1

Overview of the deal

An owner in Bluewaters Bay Building 1 is selling a two-bedroom apartment with a maid's room, built by Meraas on Bluewaters Island, at AED 5,252,000. The seller states that this is AED 1,110,000, or 17.4%, below the original price plus the 4% DLD fee. The 1,670 sq ft unit is due for handover in Q3 2027.

Among the off-plan properties Dubai buyers can take over through resale, this one pairs a sea view with a corner position. Urgent sales can be reserved or repriced quickly, so verify price and availability at enquiry.

The unit

The unit at a glance:

• 2 bedrooms plus a maid's room
• 4 bathrooms, as recorded in the listing data
• 1,670 sq ft
• Floor between the 12th and 22nd (exact floor on request)
• Sea view
• Balcony
• Corner unit
• Expected handover: Q3 2027

For buyers comparing each 2 bedroom apartment Dubai has on its islands, the maid's room adds space for staff, storage or a study.

The building and community

Bluewaters is an island community, which is why this unit looks out to sea. It is one of the Meraas projects shaped around the coastline, and it suits buyers short-listing waterfront properties Dubai offers for the view.

At this size and price, it sits among the luxury apartments Dubai buyers consider for a home by the sea. The amenity list is not in the owner's details, so ask us for the developer's brochure.

Price, discount and payment position

Figures as given by the seller, to be checked against the developer's statement of account before any deposit:

• Original price plus 4% DLD: AED 6,362,000
• Selling price: AED 5,252,000
• Discount stated by the seller: AED 1,110,000 (17.4%)

On transfer, the buyer pays:

• Payment to the seller: AED 4,028,600
• DLD transfer fee (4% of the original price plus AED 40): AED 244,732
• Trustee office fee: AED 5,250
• Buyer's agency commission (2% plus VAT): AED 110,292
• Total on transfer: AED 4,388,874

Only one payment remains after that: AED 1,223,400 to the developer on handover. The total cost to the buyer, fees included, is AED 5,612,274. Unlike a payment plan Dubai buyers might spread over years, most of this money is paid at transfer, so cash or financing must be ready from day one.

Why this deal and for whom

The case rests on a stated 17.4% gap to the original price, a sea-view corner unit and handover expected in Q3 2027. It may suit a family that wants to move in soon after completion, or a buyer planning a Dubai property investment who prefers a single remaining instalment to a long schedule.

No rental return or resale gain is promised, and an off-plan unit carries delivery risk until handover. Anyone reviewing apartments for sale in Dubai at this budget should compare the total cost of AED 5,612,274, not only the headline price.

What happens next

Mahboob Estate, a real estate agency Dubai buyers use for resale transfers, works through these steps:

• We confirm with the owner that the unit is still available at this price.
• We obtain the developer's statement of account showing what is paid and due.
• Buyer and seller sign the sale agreement (Form F).
• The developer issues its no objection certificate.
• Transfer at a DLD trustee office, where the fees above are paid.
• The buyer pays the final AED 1,223,400 to the developer on handover.

If you want to buy property in Dubai through an urgent resale, we recommend paying the seller nothing until the statement of account is checked.
