Location: Al Yufrah 1

Al Yufrah 1 is the area name used in the DLD register. Buyers sometimes know a project by a different community or master-plan name, so check exactly where the plot sits before you commit.

Before you decide, ask about these points:

  • Which main roads give access to the site, and how long the drive to your workplace or to the airport is.
  • Which schools, shops, healthcare and public transport are open today, and which are only planned.
  • Whether the surrounding area is still under development, and what that means for noise and views in the early years.
  • Whether the area is designated freehold for foreign buyers.

Construction progress and handover

The DLD register shows 0% construction progress, with building due to start in December 2026. Expected completion is Q4 2030. That is a planned date and not a promise, and Dubai off-plan handover dates can move.

Before you buy, check these things:

  • The latest progress figure on the DLD register, once building has started.
  • That the project and escrow account details match what is written in your reservation form and sales contract.
  • What the contract says about delays and about the handover date.
  • Which payments fall due before completion and which fall due at handover.

How to buy off-plan in The Woods

  1. Get the price list and payment plan. These are not published here, so ask Dani for the current prices, floor plans and payment plan.
  2. Reserve a unit. You pay a booking deposit and sign a reservation form.
  3. Sign the sales and purchase agreement (SPA). Read the payment schedule and the delay terms carefully.
  4. Register with the DLD. Off-plan sales are registered through Oqood. The DLD fee is generally 4% of the purchase price, plus smaller admin fees.
  5. Pay into escrow. Under Dubai law, buyer instalments for registered off-plan projects go into the project's escrow account and not to the developer directly.

Some buyers look at the AED 2 million property value threshold for the Golden Visa. Eligibility rules for off-plan property have conditions, so confirm the current requirements before you rely on it.
