Belgravia Heights I by Ellington Properties

What is Belgravia Heights I and who builds it?

Belgravia Heights I by Ellington Properties is an apartment development in JVC (Jumeirah Village Circle), Dubai. The developer is Ellington Properties, which presents the scheme as a design-led residential building intended for the centre of JVC. We would treat that description as the developer's positioning, not as independent evidence of construction quality or completed amenities.

The listed property types are apartments, with studios and one- and two-bedroom options. The developer's stated handover target is 2020, checked 29 October 2026, but no quarter is provided. That date should therefore be checked against the current project record and construction or completion status before reserving. Handover dates can move.

The developer price list starts at AED 1,350,000, developer price list, checked 29 October 2026. The price is not a guarantee that every unit remains available, nor does it explain the payment schedule, service charges, title status or final registration costs.

What does the registered data say about JVC?

Dubai Land Department open data records 8,503 sales in JVC in 2026 to date, average AED 1,514 per sq ft and median AED 1,025,777, DLD open data, October 2026. None of those recorded sales were off-plan. This is useful context for the area, but it does not establish the value of a particular Belgravia Heights I apartment.

In October 2026, JVC recorded 739 sales at an average AED 1,503 per sq ft, DLD, October 2026. The wider September comparison is a DLD registered median of AED 1,465 per sq ft for JVC, AED 1,694 per sq ft across Dubai and AED 4,448 per sq ft in Dubai Marina/JBR, DLD open data, September 2026.

The figures describe registered transactions, not forecasts. They also cannot be applied to this project without the apartment's saleable area, floor, view, condition, parking allocation and title position. Ask for the exact unit area and compare it with recent registered transactions rather than relying on a headline starting price.

How does the payment plan work at the starting price?

The facts supplied do not include Ellington's instalment percentages or due dates. We will not invent them. Ask for the current developer price list and payment schedule, and confirm whether each instalment is linked to a calendar date, construction milestone, handover or registration event.

At the starting price of AED 1,350,000, the Dubai transfer fee would be AED 54,000, using 4% of AED 1,350,000. For an off-plan purchase, the Oqood fee is also stated as 4% of the off-plan price, paid once at Oqood registration. That is AED 54,000 at this price. The supplied guidance says there is no second 4% Oqood charge at handover.

The apartment administration fee is AED 580, DLD fee guidance, 2026. A possible Oqood-to-title conversion fee is about AED 830, 2026 guides, but that figure has low confidence and must be confirmed. These costs are separate from the purchase price and any developer instalments.

Worked example: AED 1,350,000 + AED 54,000 transfer fee + AED 54,000 Oqood fee + AED 580 administration fee = AED 1,458,580, before any other documented charges. This is a cost illustration, not the developer's payment plan.

What unit mix, sizes and prices are published?

The published unit mix is studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments. No unit sizes are provided in the facts, so we cannot calculate a project-specific price per sq ft or assess whether the starting unit is competitively sized.

The only confirmed price is AED 1,350,000 as the starting price, developer price list, checked 29 October 2026. No separate prices by bedroom type, floor, view or availability are supplied. Request the unit number, net and gross areas, balcony area, parking details, service-charge estimate, reservation terms and the complete price schedule in writing.

Who is it for, and what should you check before reserving?

This may suit a buyer wanting a Dubai apartment in a freehold area, an investor comparing JVC against other Dubai locations, or an owner-occupier who accepts that the project information needs verification. It is less suitable for someone who needs a fully documented completion date, confirmed unit sizes or a published payment schedule before making a decision.

Before paying anything, check the project and developer registration in the Dubai REST app. Dubai Law 8 of 2007 requires off-plan payments to go into a RERA-approved escrow account, DLD / RERA. Confirm the escrow account, project status and the developer's RERA project number independently.

Check the reservation agreement, sale and purchase agreement, cancellation provisions, instalment dates, Oqood registration process, service-charge estimate, parking rights, snagging process and the procedure for delay. Confirm the 2020 target directly because handover dates can move.

Also verify the intermediary. A Dubai broker must hold a RERA broker card and the agency must hold an ORN; both are searchable through Dubai REST and the DLD website, DLD. Sofia Sands Realty is Dubai RERA 41793, and buyers pay no agency fee on our direct instructions. We can help review the paperwork, but the official registration and escrow records remain the authority.

For finance, the stated maximum loan-to-value for off-plan purchases is 50%, CBUAE. Do not assume a lender will approve that maximum for this project or your circumstances. The UAE has no annual property tax or individual capital gains tax, while residential sales are generally exempt from VAT under the stated conditions, UAE Federal Tax Authority VAT guidance and UAE tax framework, checked 29 October 2026. Confirm tax treatment for your own transaction.
