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.
Every off-plan project in Dubai must have an escrow account at a bank, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person. Ask for the account number.
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 2,100,000 = 6.7%. 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 Nima The Valley
Nima is an Emaar Properties townhouse project in The Valley, with 3- and 4-bedroom homes from AED 2,100,000 and handover listed for September 2027. Most of the money is due during construction: 80% of the price, or AED 1,680,000 at the from price.
Start with the payment plan. You pay 10% on booking, 80% during construction and 10% on handover. At the from price that is AED 210,000 to book, AED 1,680,000 during the build and AED 210,000 at handover in September 2027, about 10 months from now. The listing gives no dates for the construction payments, so ask for the schedule in writing. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 84,000; ask when it is due.
All homes are townhouses of 2,232 to 2,683 sq ft, in two designs called Cedar and Canna. Each layout has a maid's room, terraces, a garden and a two-car garage. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet, and the rest come with built-in wardrobes. There are four floor plans, so check which design and size the from price buys.
The Valley is a freehold area, so foreign buyers can own outright. The listed handover is September 2027, about 10 months from now. Before you book, ask Emaar for the latest construction update and the service charge estimate.
A Medcare medical centre is about 520 m away. Schools are further: GEMS Wellington Academy is about 13.2 km away, about 22 minutes by car by our estimate, and Indian International School about 13.7 km. Arabian Ranches Golf Club is about 19.6 km away. Centrepoint Metro Station (formerly Rashidiya) is about 24.7 km away and Business Bay about 26.2 km, about 33 and 32 minutes by car.
