Verta's expert insight

This is the lowest upfront cash of anything on our Dubai list, and it is a house. Five per cent on AED 2.8 million is AED 140,000 plus the 4% Dubai Land Department fee to secure a 2,279 sq ft home with a May 2028 handover.

Villa and townhouse supply is where Dubai is genuinely tight, because houses cannot be built upwards on a small plot, and that has shown up as stronger price performance than apartments over the last three years. Athlon is early and Dubailand is a drive. For a house in a finished community you would look at Dubai Hills or Arabian Ranches and pay considerably more.

Prices are the developer's published starting prices at 22 October 2026, converted from UAE dirhams at 1 AED = £0.2058 and rounded, so the sterling figure moves with the exchange rate. Availability and prices change as units sell; ask us for the latest price list.
