What sort of property investor are you? Someone who prefers to keep the down payment small? Or are you willing to pay up to half of the property value before handover and then stretch the rest of it over years, even 10 years or more?
Do you want buy now and move in? Or buy offplan and patiently wait for another two to three years for the handover?

Whatever be your buyer profile, developers in Dubai have got it covered. One of the biggest names in the business, Damac Properties, is offering to go as low as 5 per cent on the down payment for an upcoming launch of villas starting from Dh1.49 million. The standard down payment used to be 10 per cent, and with Damac having set down the marker with 5 per cent, expect more developers to join in.
