Urgent Sale | 21.4% Below OP | 4 BR Villa in Sobha Elwood

Overview of the deal

This is a resale of a four-bedroom villa at Sobha Elwood, a Sobha Realty community in Dubailand that is still under construction, with handover scheduled for July 2028. The seller is asking AED 6,750,000, which the owner states is 21.4% below the original price plus the 4% DLD fee, and describes as the last, non-negotiable price.

Because the villa is not built yet, the buyer takes over the seller's position with the developer: part is paid on transfer and the rest follows the remaining instalments. That is how most off-plan properties Dubai buyers find on the resale market work, and the figures are set out below.

The unit

The villa has a G+1 layout, a ground floor plus one upper floor. No particular view is listed, so check the plot position on the master plan.

• Bedrooms: 4

• Built-up area: 5,007 sq ft

• Plot: 6,199 sq ft

• Private swimming pool, balcony and parking

The building and community

Sobha Elwood is a villa community in Dubailand by Sobha Realty, a premium developer known for Sobha Hartland and the quality of its construction, so buyers who follow Sobha projects will know the name. The community is still being built, so confirm construction progress and the expected handover date with the developer at enquiry.

Price, discount and payment position

The owner gives the original price plus the 4% DLD fee as AED 8,590,400 and the selling price as AED 6,750,000, a stated difference of AED 1,840,400, or 21.4%. All figures are the seller's and must be verified at enquiry.

Paid on transfer:

• Payment to the seller: AED 2,619,093

• DLD transfer fee (4% of the original price plus AED 40): AED 330,440

• Trustee office fee: AED 5,250

• Buyer's agency commission (2% plus VAT): AED 141,750

The total on transfer is AED 3,096,533. The buyer then takes over the remaining developer instalments:

• 23 March 2027: AED 826,181

• On handover: AED 3,304,726

The total remaining payment plan is AED 4,130,907, and the owner states the total cost for the buyer at AED 7,227,440. The DLD fee is calculated on the original price, not the selling price. Unlike joining a payment plan Dubai developers offer at launch, the buyer here comes in late, with most of the balance due at handover.

Why this deal and for whom

The appeal rests on a few facts: four bedrooms, a private pool, a 6,199 sq ft plot, and a price the owner states is below the original cost including DLD. It suits a family that can plan for the handover payment, or a buyer interested in Dubai property investment who is comfortable holding a home under construction until July 2028. It does not suit anyone who needs to move in soon.
