• Buying process of such assets is very simple; buyers need to pay initial deposit around 15% of the total cost. Rest of the amount will be paid in several stages until the completion date of project. An agreement is signed about payment schedule of these installments at initial stage before finalizing the deal. SIG will help you at every step starting from locating the property, to negotiating the price and payment terms.

• If you decide to purchase a ready property from the resale market, you have to pay a holding deposit of 20% before making final payment to complete buying deal as agreed on the memorandum of understanding. SIG will assist you with the process of locating the property, drafting the MOU, Land department transfers, Title Deeds and renting your newly purchased assets

DUBAI VILLAS

Dubai villas come in different types and sizes. Although, these villas are world famous and widely available in different sizes for sale, they do not cater the accommodation needs of huge number of residents. Usually, people with average income do not prefer to afford super luxury villas and choose Dubai apartments as an option. Old and new villas are available on different prices and rents based on size and facilities they provide. If you survey Dubai real estate market you will find that old villas are totally independent with separate amenities like private pool, gym and garden. Whereas newer villas offer more luxurious lifestyle and sometime built in compound style and offer amenities in shared manner.

Due to the lack of residential land in Dubai, there are only a few villa projects are under construction. Most of the developers are taking interest to build multi storied residential complexes. Such residential buildings are best alternatives that resolve accommodation needs of city residents on larger scale. This reduction in supply of Dubai villa has increased its demand. This huge gap will assure villa owners to earn good profits in the coming years.

Some famous gated communities in Dubai offering major choices of Dubai Villas include:
• Emirates Hills
• Arabian Ranches
• Palm Jumeirah - Signature Villas
• Jumeirah Park
• The Springs
• Jumeirah Islands
