Post Hand Over · Lowest Price

This 1‑bedroom, 2‑bathroom apartment in Dubai Land Residence Complex is listed at AED 880,000, translating to AED 1,236 per sqft, which internal benchmarks suggest is roughly 11% under the district median of about AED 1,390 per sqft. The price advantage, combined with an internal gross yield estimate of 7.9%, positions the deal as attractive on a cash‑flow basis. However, the property is off‑plan, meaning completion risk and limited resale history could affect liquidity, and the developer, H M I Real Estate, is not among the most established players in the market. The location score of 60 indicates a decent but not premium neighbourhood, and the overall internal score of 51 reflects a balanced risk‑return profile. Investors should note that the gross yield figure does not account for service charges, vacancy, and management fees, which typically reduce net returns by 1–2 percentage points. Consequently, a realistic net yield range would be around 5.9%–6.9% per annum. The short days‑on‑market (14) may hint at a motivated seller, but also suggests limited market exposure. Given the moderate risk index (46) and the absence of robust comparable transaction data (sample size unknown), due diligence on the developer’s credit and the building’s DLD transaction register is essential before committing.

Leverage the 11% price‑per‑sqft discount versus the district median and the brief 14‑day market exposure to push the seller toward a further reduction. Request confirmation of the unit’s price against the Dubai Land Department transaction register and aim to negotiate down to AED 1,150 per sqft or lower, citing the comparable gap and off‑plan risk premium.

Given the absence of recent listings, there is insufficient market evidence to define a clear direction. The sub‑market is likely to remain subdued, and investors should watch for any new supply or policy signals before forming expectations.
