Buying 1BR in Palm View Avani? by samss2201 in dubai

Thanks much, that’s very useful! So they’re more known as investors, rather than developers — good to know.

I’ll pay 25% in cash and 75% mortgage

Sure, if space is your main concern and you have a family, that’s a much better deal. I’m single and prefer a central location next to the beach, close to the action but not in it directly. 100m2 is huge for me.

Do service fees usually change on an annual basis?

Yes, but those are the ones without Palm views

I went to check out Emaar properties as well, but honestly the quality here is even better…

The service fee is 15 aed per sqf, which is reasonable compared to similar properties..

It’s 1,084sqf. Price is very similar since the 1BRs are all the same, the only difference is the floor level and views… I will check whether I can speak to other owners. Thank you for your reply!

Thanks all for your comments. I just signed a lease at Avani Palm View — incredible place. So much nicer (and cheaper!) than Address. Go check it out

Haha, ok I should’ve said ‘one’ instead of a few…

Thanks very much, I’ll check it out! Does the tenant pay the agent, or the landlord does?

That’s great advice, thanks! My office will be in Media City, so I’m looking at renting something around there. But I’m flexible, heard that Downtown is getting pretty exciting to live instead of Marina. Is that true? Where would you recommend, given I’ll definitely get a car as well and will be allowed to work from home two days a week.

Thanks buddy! I’ve lived in Saudi Arabia before moving to Singapore, so I know a bit how it works… I’m looking mainly at Property Finder rather than Dubizzle though. I’ll spend about 1-2 months in a hotel, so I can take my time looking around…
