Comparison is not limited to price, however; construction quality, number of rooms, parking, shared amenities, and the unit’s location should also be considered, along with prices of similar properties in the neighborhood.

What warranties should you review when buying an apartment?

Warranties differ by project and by the party providing them. It is advisable to review coverage for the structural frame, insulation, electrical and plumbing systems, and the duration and terms of each warranty.

Makeen projects provide warranties on specific building elements and finishes, along with follow-up for observations and maintenance requests after handover according to each project’s terms.

Are there annual fees after buying the apartment?

Periodic fees may be charged to manage and maintain the building or compound’s common areas, such as elevators, corridors, and amenities. Fees differ according to services, operating costs, and the owners’ association approved budget.

It is therefore advisable to know their amount and what they cover before buying.

Buying a ready apartment or one under construction?

Ready apartments allow you to inspect the unit and confirm its finishes before buying, while projects under construction require reviewing handover dates, specifications, and the payment schedule.

Makeen projects include ready units in Makeen 68 in Al Rayyan and Makeen 71 in Al Rawabi, and projects under construction such as Makeen 101 in Al Narjis and Makeen 89 in Qurtubah, according to each project’s status at the time of publication.

When buying off-plan, the project license, contract terms, and handover dates should be verified.

Mortgage financing and apartment purchase costs

Setting a budget starts with reviewing income, financial commitments, and the down payment. When comparing financing offers, the monthly installment, annual percentage rate, and total amounts payable should be considered.

The 5% real estate transaction tax and statutory exemptions should also be taken into account, along with moving and furnishing costs.

How do you confirm that the purchase process is sound?

Before signing the contract, ownership proof, building permits, and related documents should be verified. For ready subdivided apartments, the unit’s details and size should be matched to the independent title deed and subdivision document, and its share of the common areas should be known.

Choosing the right apartment starts with comparison
