Damac was the hero of the week with its offer for a return on advance payments during the construction of its projects. Off-plan property investors will be granted a 3% guaranteed annual return on investments until the project’s completion. Given that this rate of return is twice the average rate for fixed bank deposits, investing in Dubai real estate is becoming more and more lucrative option.
But this is not the only good news for real estate investors. The biggest annual lease yields of about 8% are also guaranteed for some of the Damac’s projects for the first three years after construction. And even more, the Damac Capital Guarantee guarantees the property's value for two years after delivery. The company said it will pay the difference to the investors if the unit price has any decline between the time of delivery and the end of 2019. Besides, Damac also offers a 10% discount on service charges for some of its luxury properties.
