Before Dubai, I spent years as a property developer in the UK, delivering 34 homes across five developments. I have specified, built, priced and sold houses from the ground up.
That background changes how I value and position a villa. I am assessing the fabric of the building, the quality of what has actually been delivered, and the real cost of the work a buyer would face. Not repeating a brochure, and not guessing.
The Oasis is a development I cover in full, all seven clusters, every villa type, rather than one line on a much longer list. That depth is why I hold a current read on what is selling, at what figure, and why. That focus is the product.
Four things I hold myself to on every villa at The Oasis, whether you are buying, selling or still deciding.
Values taken from transfers that actually completed, not asking prices, and not portal averages. On a development still being handed over, the distance between what is asked and what is paid can be considerable.
What the drawings do not tell you: how a layout works day to day, where the plot really sits, and what it costs to finish a villa to the standard you have in mind, including putting right anything that has not been delivered well.
From the first shortlist through valuation, handover and snagging. You deal with me throughout, rather than being passed along a chain.
One development, seven clusters. Narrow enough that the market knowledge stays sharp and the advice stays straight.
A brochure tells you what a villa is meant to be. Having built them, I can tell you what it will actually be, and what it will cost you to get there.Lloyd Ellis
