Costliest and cheapest areas to rent 2-bedroom apartments in Dubai


Palm Jumeirah costliest but Discovery Gardens shows maximum increase

Palm Jumeirah is the costliest community to rent a two-bedroom apartment in Dubai, but Discovery Gardens registered the maximum increase in the first quarter of 2014, according to a new report released by Land Sterling.

Average rents for two-bed units in Palm Jumeirah were at Dh170,000 per annum, rising 6 per cent in the first quarter compared to the final quarter of 2013, Land Sterling said in its Q1 report.

Discovery Gardens saw rents jumping 13 per cent to Dh90,000 per annum during the same period.

IMPZ and Business Bay saw rents for two-bed units rising by 12 per cent each.

Units were leased on average for Dh83,000 pa and Dh145,000 per annum, respectively.

Downtown Dubai saw a 3 per cent hike in the first quarter, compared to Q4 2013, and is at Dh165,000 per annum on average.

Dubai Silicon Oasis rose by 2 per cent with average rents being Dh87,000 pa.

In International City, on an average, a two-bed is being leased at Dh70,000 pa, with a quarter-on-quarter increase of 8 per cent.

Earlier this month, Asteco Property Management put the rental increase quarter-on-quarter for Palm Jumeirah, Discovery Gardens and Downtown Dubai at 3, 4 and 6 per cent, respectively.

With the population of Dubai expected to grow to 3.1 million in 2020 (at an assumed CAGR of 5 per cent), analysts estimate housing requirement to increase by 170,000 units in 2020, the report said.

“In the run-up to World Expo 2020, most of the city's supply estimates - residential, office, retail and hospitality - are being built based on the development requirements needed to host such an international event.

“Though developers may favour hospitality projects over residential ones during this interim period, housing supply needs to be maintained at the current historical average of 21,000 units per year to avoid any shortage, which may result in spikes in sales price and rent,” Land Sterling analysts asserted.

Emirates 24|7 reported earlier that Dubai was unlikely to witness oversupply of housing units with experts and developers ruling out any glut in residential market.

HSBC Global Research said this month that Dubai will see a supply of 90,000 new units by 2018, but the market will absorb – fairly easily — the new supply even if the population grows less than 5 per cent per year.

“We believe that we have not yet reached the peak of the cycle, and that the market can continue to absorb the expected supply additions over the next few years, even at a population growth rate below 5 per cent,” the bank said.

Dubai is to build the largest ever Expo site under the theme ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future'


The UAE has won the right to host the World Expo 2020 in Dubai under the theme ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’. Every five years and for a period of six months, World Expos attract millions of visitors. The World Expo has never been held in the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia in the history of the event.

Dubai is to build the largest ever Expo site at Jebel Ali Dubai World Central (DWC) ahead of hosting the event in 2020 at a cost of between $2-4bn.
And Cynthia Corby, audit partner, construction industry leader, Deloitte Middle East, revealed ‘secondary infrastructure spend’ will be upwards of $8bn, and will include construction opportunities in the transport, hospitality, retail and commercial sectors.
She said: “With Dubai winning Expo 2020 we will see renewed confidence in the already improving construction industry. In a market that relies upon confidence and optimism, this is a much-needed stimulus to create momentum for a renewed development and economic cycle.”
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has revealed that they will fast-track a $1.36bn expansion of Dubai Metro’s Red Line to connect to DWC.

And Emaar Properties have announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with DWC to develop a massive (13.63mn m2) golf-centred residential estate adjacent to the area surrounding the Expo 2020 site.
In the company's report: 'Expo 2020: A game changer for Dubai', Corby said: “These are the first of many announcements regarding large-scale projects being planned in the wake of the Expo win.
“It only takes a quick analysis of the impact of an expected additional 20mn international visitors over a six-month period to see that significant investment in hospitality and retail infrastructure will be required.”
It is estimated that up to 30% of the potential 300,000 jobs created by Expo 2020 will be in the construction sector alone.
The government has also announced that all new and existing construction projects are going to be fast- tracked to be ready for 2020.
However, Jesdev Saggar, managing director, Infrastructure and Capital Projects, Deloitte Corporate Finance Limited, urged a level of caution as the Emirate continues its recovery from the economic crisis that enveloped the world in 2009.
He said: “Dubai has been dealing with the close out of its financial obligations over the downturn years and the lessons learnt during the close out of these obligations would be usefully applied to avoid this pressure as the government is to embark on funding future infrastructure to meet the demands of hosting a global event.
“While challenging, that does not mean that it cannot be done, these challenges can be met with the right planning and coordination of spend across all the authorities.
“Expo, like any major event is all about coordination and planning and its success or failure will be a result of how well the authorities unite to capitalize on its potential.”

All You Need To Know About Investing In Dubai Off-plan Properties and Escrow Accounts FAQ




THIS IS FAQ AND ANSWERS FROM DUBAI LAND DEPARTMENT. 

 What is the real estate escrow account? The goal of it? Who has to have it?

The escrow account is the bank’s account of the project in which amounts collected
from buyers of off-plan properties are deposited or amount by project’s financers.
The escrow account aim is to regulate the functioning of the construction process of
units sold off-plan, thus safeguarding the rights of investors.
The law applies to all developers in Dubai without any exception who sell properties
off-plan in Dubai, and in return they receive payments from the buyers or financers.

 Who are the parties obliged to open an escrow account?

The law applies to all developers in Dubai without any exception who sell properties
off-plan in Dubai, and in return they receive payments from the buyers or financers.

 Which financial institutions are approved by RERA to manage the escrow account?

You can visit the Department's account of Trustees
http://www.dubailand.gov.ae/English/Tanzeem/Developers/trusteeslist.aspx

 Does the law apply to projects that have been announced before its release?

The law applies to all projects selling off-plan either before or after the law.
The law gives a period of 6 months since its release for all developers to adjust their
situation in accordance with Law No. 8/2007 concerning real estate escrow account.

 What are the ways available to communicate with the Real Estate Escrow Account Department?
You can communicate with the department by:

 What if the investor pays amount far outweigh the completion progress
 or the project hasn’t started or under cancelation?
If the project hasn’t started or under cancellation: The Land Department isn’t
authorized to terminate any contract between the developer and the investor at
 the request of the investor. If the investor is willing to terminate the contract,
 he/she must refer to the concerned real estate court.
The Department’s role in this case is to try to reach an amicable settlement between both parties.
If the project is canceled: The escrow account is transfer to the Section of Projects’
 Liquidation which, in turn requires the developer to repay investors within 60
days from the date of the cancellation. In case RERA sees a necessity to postpone
the deadline it might extend this period. In case the developer fails to commit,
 the case is transferred to the court in order to secure the right of investors.
If the percentage of project progress is 5% or less, and all paid amount are deposited
into the escrow account and the investor is willing to obtain the money back through RERA,
given the developer hasn’t and wouldn’t construct the project, refer to the answer
of question No 6 in the first paragraph.
If the project isn’t cancelled and the investor is willing to obtain the money back,
the investor must refer to the court.
If the project in the process of cancellation or cancelled: At this stage, the project
isn’t cancelled yet. And there are several procedures that must
 be followed prior to the cancellation such as (submitting remedy,
the Committee’s consideration of the remedy, issuing statement by the committee
on which the necessary action is taken). This process takes 3 months at least.

 What is the role of the liquidation of real estate projects section, 
specifically for all projects canceled - under cancellation - completely stalled.

The liquidation section role begin once the project is cancelled upon the
developer’s request/or the project is cancelled and not in the process of cancellation.
 Then, the section will recover the amounts from the escrow account and deposit them in
the Trust Account in the Land Department to be distributed to beneficiaries,
whether in full or in a certain percentage according to what is available in the account.

 What about projects that have not been cancelled and the progress is less than 5%?

RERA monitors progress of construction on the project on a regular basis and in the
event that the project is stalled or the progress is very minor, the developer will be
addressed to cancel the project. If there are no reasons justifying halt of construction
of slow progress and failure to provide justifiable reasons for that, RERA will start the
process of cancellation of project as per the procedures it follows.

 Why there is no enough information about the history of progress in ongoing projects and delayed?
Due to the current situation, and developer’s inability to start construction
so there is no timeframe given about the start of construction by the developers,
so it is difficult to identify specific date for the completion of these projects.
However such projects might be subject to cancellation.

 What the expected time period for the liquidation is of cancelled and stalled projects?

The period is indefinite, once the complete documents and details of payments and
eligible persons each projects will then be in the track of liquidation.
Most investors complain about the inability to communicate with some developers and
about the process and completion phase and they can’t obtain this clear
 information from the developer, however they are demanded to make new payments.
However, due to the payments are scheduled according to the percentage of completion,
and the investor has the right once received a request for payment from the
develop to inquire about the percentage of completion in the current project by a
 letter from the project consultant/approved by the Land Department. Otherwise,
the investor is not required to make the payment unless the project reached the
specific stage or completion percentage according to the agreed payments schedule
 between the parties.
Does the investor have the right to request the completion rate for any project or a
simplified report on the project.
Investor may obtain completion percentage report prepared by the technical auditor
 of RERA after paying the audit fees of AED 15000 + AED 10 as knowledge surcharge.

 Can the investor cancel his contract with the developer without resorting to the judiciary?
The Land Department isn’t authorized to terminate any contract between
 the developer and the investor at the request of the investor.
 If the investor is willing to terminate the contract with the developer,
then he/she must resort to the concerned real estate court.
The LD role is limited to conciliation between the parties and settles the
dispute amicably without having the final word in the dispute and
 without intervention in the final settlement.

 What if completion rate, for example, 40% - 60% and the project is
 completely stalled and the developer is absent like Dubai Star Project?

In such cases, the Land Department and RERA intervene to safeguard the
 rights of the concerned parties and for the completion of the project.

 Is there a law deterrent to developers’ manipulation and those offenders by RERA?
All laws issued stipulate the existence of sanctions against developers in
conflict with the laws and regulations for real estate development.

 What are the procedures to open an escrow account?
The developer must fill the form on "registration developer & project approval"
 and provide the required documents after the adoption of the project by
RERA represented in the Department of escrow account.
