The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
This project's escrow account is at the bank named on the register above, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person.
Check the developer's record.
The Dubai Land Department project register lists 48 finished projects by this developer since 2016. 48 of the 48 were finished by the completion date DLD holds now. DLD replaces that date when a project is given more time and keeps no earlier dates, so this can't show which ones ran late.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. Ask Emaar Properties for the estimate.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 140,000 ÷ AED 4,380,000 = 3.2%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.
About Alva The Valley
Alva The Valley is an Emaar townhouse project in The Valley, with three- and four-bedroom homes from AED 4,380,000 and a listed handover of March 2030. The nearest metro station and business district are both about 34 minutes away by car.
The listed handover is March 2030, about three years and four months from now, and 60% of the price falls due during construction. Ask Emaar for the date of each construction payment and a progress update before you agree a price. The listing states freehold ownership and lists one floor plan, so ask for plans of both bedroom types.
You pay 20% on booking, 60% during construction and 20% at handover. At the from price that is AED 876,000 on booking, AED 2,628,000 during the build and AED 876,000 at handover. Separately, the 4% Land Department fee comes to AED 175,200; ask when it is due.
There are three- and four-bedroom townhouses, listed at 2,788 to 3,091 sq ft. The developer's description gives 2,788 sq ft for the three-bedroom and 3,081 sq ft for the four-bedroom. The developer lists an indoor pool with climate control, gardens, a yoga area, a play area, jogging and cycling tracks, picnic spots, a skating area, a football field, basketball and tennis courts, and a pet park.
The Medcare Medical Centre in The Valley is about 1.5 km away, around 3 minutes by car. GEMS Wellington Academy and Indian International School are each about 23 minutes by car. Centrepoint Metro Station (formerly Rashidiya) and Business Bay are each about 34 minutes away, and Dubai Creek Harbour about 36 minutes.
