- 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.
- 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 Meraas 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.

Rent and yield

- 4-bed villa
- AED 295,192 a year
- 5-bed villa
- AED 367,500 a year
Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 180,000 ÷ AED 5,090,000 = 3.5%. 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 The Acres
Meraas is selling three- to five-bedroom standalone villas at The Acres from AED 5,090,000, with a listed handover of December 2027. The plan asks for 65% of the price before that date, so check the construction schedule before you book.
The Acres is a Meraas villa community in the area of the same name. Every home on the listing is a standalone villa with three, four or five bedrooms. The listed handover is December 2027, about 13 months from now. That is the developer's listed date, so ask Meraas for the latest construction update.
The plan is 10% on booking, 55% during construction and 35% at handover. At the from price that is AED 509,000 on booking, AED 2,799,500 during construction and AED 1,781,500 at handover. The 4% Land Department fee adds AED 203,600 at the from price. Ask when each construction payment falls due, as the listing gives no dates for them.
The listing gives sizes from 3,048 to 5,944 sq ft, but the developer's description puts the largest villa at 7,415 sq ft. Ask for the floor plans and the exact size of the villa you are offered. The developer also says buyers here can apply for a Golden visa; check the current rules for the price you pay. The listing names no shared facilities, so ask what the community will include.
Gems Metropole School is about 2.3 km away, around 5 minutes by car, and Arabian Ranches Golf Club about 3.4 km, around 7 minutes. A clinic is about 1.4 km away. Dwight School Dubai is about 14 minutes by car. The nearest metro, Equiti Metro Station (formerly First Abu Dhabi Bank), is about 12.4 km away, around 23 minutes by car, and Dubai Internet City about 29 minutes.
