A truly exclusive home finance solution that brings greater affordability for end users and potential to earn more than 45% return on equity for investors during the first 7 years.
A development by World of Wonders Real Estate Development, SLS Dubai offers incomparable and matchless 371 branded residences as part of 75- storey, US$550 million super-tall tower in Dubai’s downtown district.
- Development is over 60% complete and on track to meet its Q3 2020 handover target.
Dubai: World of Wonders Real Estate Development (WOW RED) today announced its partnership with Dubai Islamic Bank, the UAE’s largest Islamic Bank, to provide an exclusive and value-added home finance solution for SLS Dubai Residences customers.
Assuring exceptional value for end-users and investors, the home financing product is the first ever and the only payment facility in the UAE residential market for its
affordability and potential to earn more than 45% return on equity during the first 7 years.
Yahya Alkan, CEO of WOW RED, and Varun Sood, Dubai Islamic Bank Chief of Home Finance, were present along with senior officials from both companies at a signing ceremony held in Dubai to launch the home finance product.
The exclusive home financing solution means, owning a home in the elegantly designed SLS Dubai Residences is a seamless process. Among several benefits, customers can enjoy an extended 25-year financing with zero % financing cost for the first 7 years. Furthermore, customers only have to pay 50% of the total price during the construction stage with the rest to be paid over a period of up to 25 years. With this attractive offer by Dubai Islamic Bank, customers will only have to pay installments as low as AED 1,150 per month for a AED 1 million property for the first 7 years after handover of SLS Dubai Residences.
These low installments represent less than 35% of the rental costs incurred by many residents for commonly found typical units in the market, meaning end users are able to effortlessly and cost-effectively shift from renting a standard unit to owning an incomparable branded apartment in SLS Dubai Residences.
For investors, given the matchless features of SLS Dubai branded apartments and the expected rental premiums compared to typical units in the market, the monthly home finance installments will also correspond to less than 35% of their net monthly rental income during the first 7 years. This will enable investors to potentially earn more than 45% return on their cumulative equity.
Yahya Alkan, CEO, World of Wonders Real Estate Development said: “We are of the absolute opinion that the real estate market in Dubai is maturing and constantly improving. With this in mind, buyers are becoming more sophisticated, have higher expectations and demand properties with finer design elements as well as better payment plans and maximized yields’’
“More importantly, in a market full of real estate opportunities the need for differentiation for property developers will play a key role in mid-to-long term accomplishment targets. Therefore, the home finance solution that we have introduced with Dubai Islamic Bank is truly unprecedented in the value it offers to our prospective customers’’
“Our formula is very simple - no more large monthly installments and maximized returns. Now with the extremely low payment schedule, investors and end-users can own an incomparable dream home in SLS Dubai Residences and enjoy a superior lifestyle in a truly bespoke property that will elevate the real estate market to unseen levels of excellence and luxury”
“The combination of a premium brand property that is over 60% complete, an international developer with a track record of success, a highly respected and trusted UAE bank and
an unrivalled payment facility offered in the market today, makes SLS Dubai Residences the most attractive and secure investment opportunity” said Mr. Alkan.
Varun Sood, Chief of Home Finance at Dubai Islamic Bank, said “As the largest home finance provider in the UAE, we understand our customers’ home buying needs very well. This is also a key factor in building successful solutions with developers.”
“We are pleased to partner with World of Wonders Real Estate Development on their upcoming prestigious project SLS Dubai Residences. Our aim has always been to collaborate with our partners and develop customer centric propositions across the customer’s home buying journey.”
“We have gone through a great amount of detail with World of Wonders Real Estate Development in building this solution and look forward to delivering a seamless home buying experience for our customers’’
