17. SERVICES
For valuation purposes, we have assumed that the Subject Properties are connected to mains water, drainage,
and electricity - as supplied by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). We have not carried out any
tests on these installations and assume that they are in fit for purpose and in working condition. We reserve the
right to amend our report should any of our assumptions prove to be incorrect.
However, should it be established subsequently that contamination exists at the property or on any neighboring
land, or that the property has been or is being put to any contaminative use, then this might reduce the value
now reported.
1. The Subject Properties are valued under the assumption of titles being held under Private Freehold Interests
– superior, perpetual, legally un-encumbered and transferable ownership title (UAE/GCC/Non-GCC
Nationals) with vacant possession;
2. That information provided to us by the Client is up to date, complete and correct in relation to issues such
as land tenure, planning use/consent, and other relevant matters that are set out in the report;
3. That no contaminative or potentially contaminative use has ever been carried out on the site;
4. We assume no responsibility for matters legal in character, nor do we render any opinion as to the title
relating to the Properties, which we assume to be good and free of any undisclosed onerous burdens,
outgoings, restrictions, or other encumbrances. Information regarding the status of title must be checked
by your legal advisors;
5. This subject is a valuation report and not a structural/building survey, and hence a building and structural
survey is outside the scope of the subject assignment. We have not carried out any structural survey, nor
have we tested any services, checked fittings or any parts of the structure which are covered, exposed or
inaccessible, and, therefore, such parts are assumed to be in good repair and condition and the services are
assumed to be in full working order;

6. We have not arranged for any investigation to be carried out to determine whether, or not, any deleterious
or hazardous materials have been used in the construction of the Properties, or have since been
incorporated, and we are therefore unable to report that the Properties is free from risk in this respect. For
valuation purpose, we have assumed that such investigations would not disclose the presence of any such
material to any significant extent;
7. We have not inspected the properties with a view to check the use of hazardous materials in the
construction process such as asbestos, high aluminum cement, etc. We are not aware of any contamination;
8. We have made no investigation, and are unable to give any assurances, on the combustibility risk of any
cladding material that may have been used in construction of the subject building. We would recommend
that the Client makes their own enquiries in this regard;
9. We assume that there are no material changes to the physical attributes of the Subject Properties, or the
nature of their location, between the date of valuation and the date of our previous inspection; and
10. The Market Value conclusions arrived at for the Properties reflect the full contract values and no account is
taken of any liability to taxation on sale or of the costs involved in effecting the sale.
The Direct Comparison Approach involves adjusting the sale price of comparable properties to account for
differences in location, plot area and shape, potential built-up area allowance, height allowance, date of sale,
potential views, and other individual characteristics. Comparison of transactional evidence of similar properties
which have traded in the open market in arm’s length transactions, provide the most accurate means of
assessing value.
In use of this valuation approach, we have had regard of sale transactional evidence (from Dubai Land
Department’s sales property registry data base) and as well as observations of property price listings (from
property firms, agents, and brokers) of similar apartments that are trading in the area. It should be further noted
that properties in this community generally trade at varying prices ranges reflecting on the property’s location,
site and situation, type, floor, view, desirability and finishing specifications.
From Dubai Land Department’s sales registry database, we have noted that there have been minimal sales
transactions of similar type / size apartments in The Pad Tower and neighboring similar types of apartments
buildings for example, DAMAC Royale (Damac Towers) by Paramount Tower A, DAMAC Royale (Damac Towers)
by Paramount Tower B, and J One Tower. During the period from February 2023 to June 2023 similar apartments
have sold at prices in the range of approx. AED 17,028 to 26,102 per sq m (AED 1,582 to 2,425 per sq. foot) of
gross floor area (GFA) depending upon influencing factors such as unit type (Studio, 1BR & 2BR), location /
position, unit size (Net/Gross), condition, age of the building, and views offered.
Recorded transactions of similar type serviced apartment units that have sold in The Pad Tower and other
neighboring buildings within Business Bay Community were the following: -

(Studio, 1BR and 2BR), accommodation, location, position, age, FA (net/gross), and view offered of the
properties. It is to be noted that the current offerings will be subject to negotiation between a willing and

We further wish to state that our opinioned Market Value rates adopted in our valuation has been applied to
the Floor area measurement as shown on Initial Contract of Sales for the Subject Properties since comparable
price rates observed and analysed are based on floor areas as would typically be stated on Unit Site Plans for
comparable properties examined.
23. VALUATION
It is our considered opinion that the Aggregate Market Value of the Private Freehold Interests – superior,
perpetual, legally un-encumbered and transferable ownership title (UAE/GCC/Non-GCC Nationals) with vacant
possession in the Subject Properties; subject to the contents herein, and which values have been arrived at using
the Market (Sales Comparable) valuation approach considering prevailing market conditions and sentiments, as
on the date of valuation (30th June 2023), are as follows:-
The above aggregate Market Value for the Subject Properties represents the total of Market Values of each
property. The properties are held on individual separate titles, and which can be individually sold, and the
above valuation figure considers this assumption as the possibility of selling of the entire group of properties
at once on the market may result in a flooding effect which may likely affect the value / sale price for the
properties.
Desktop valuation necessitates reporting under restricted information and Client should be aware of the
possible impact that this may have upon the accuracy of the figures reported herein.

Residential market strength broadens to the affordable segment. This quarter, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Jumeirah
Village, and Dubailand Residence Complex, broke their individual records with the highest number of homes
traded during March, highlighting a possible shift in buyer demand towards the mid to affordable segment of
Dubai’s real estate market, particularly homes priced under AED 1 million. The average ticket size of ready-to-
move-in properties fell by 5% YoY to AED 2.52 million. Ready home sales witnessed a 13.9% annual increase to
10,889 deals equivalent to investments of AED 27 billion over AED 27 billion properties fell by 5% YoY to AED
2.52 million. The citywide average transacted price for ready units during Q1 was AED 14,170 per sq m (1,316
per sq ft). With higher costs of borrowing, lack of supply for good quality ready homes in some areas, as well as
developers offering attractive payment plans, Dubai’s off-plan sales volume jumped 103.5% YoY to 16,209
transactions worth more than AED 37 billion, representing 57.9% of all residential homes sales. The average
ticket size of off-plan homes rose 22.2% YoY to AED 2.33 million. The citywide average transacted price for off-
plan properties was AED 17,783 per sq m (AED 1,652 per sq ft).
The ValuStrat Price Index (VPI) covering Dubai’s residential market grew 11.4% annually to achieve 88 points.
Villas which represent 13% of residential homes in Dubai, observed 17.1% annual capital gains, while apartment
prices grew 6.6% YoY. The VPI for typical villas witnessed a 2.4% quarterly rise to reach 110.1 points, just 3% shy
of 2014 price peaks. The highest quarterly performers were Jumeirah Islands (5%), Palm Jumeirah (4.6%), Dubai
Hills Estate (4.5%), and Jumeirah Park (3.8%). The apartment VPI grew just 1.5% quarterly to reach 74.1 points,
34.2% below the peaks of 2014. Top apartment locations with the highest quarterly capital gains were registered

acceleration for the first time since the pandemic.

Business Bay (Al Khaleej Al Tejari) is dubbed as the region’s business capital and offers a large supply of prime
commercial office space.
Business Bay is an area that features upscale commercial, residential and hospitality properties spread across a
total gross leasable area of 78.5 million sq ft. Strategically located next to Burj Khalifa area and accessible
through main arterial highways, Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and Al Khail Road (E44). The opening of the Dubai
Water Canal last October 2016 along the banks of Business Bay has fueled the desirability for residential,
commercial and infrastructural investments from major developers and investors.
