Oxford Residence 2

Oxford Residence 2 is an Iman Developers project in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), sold off-plan. How the developer's completed buildings were finished, whether they were delivered when promised and how they have let since answer most of what a buyer needs to know about a new one.

The tenant base in JVC is families and younger professionals who choose the district for the parks, the schools and the rents, and who tend to stay once settled. Circle Mall gives the community its own retail and dining, JSS International School sits inside it, and the position between the Al Khail Road and Sheikh Zayed Road corridors keeps commutes to Dubai Marina and Downtown manageable. The district is also the most crowded off-plan market in the city, with new buildings arriving from developers of every size, so a buyer is choosing a building more than a location. On the income side, typical gross yields in Jumeirah Village Circle are around 7.15% for apartments, and a purchase here is usually a letting decision rather than a lifestyle one.

We gather that evidence before advising on this one, and we put the usual off-plan checks alongside it: the project's registration and escrow account at the Dubai Land Department, the instalment schedule in the sale and purchase agreement and the projected service charge. Ask us for current prices, the unit mix, the plans and the availability, and we will add a comparison with completed JVC stock so the launch is judged against buildings that already have tenants.
