How I plan to pay

Off-plan mortgages are arranged at handover, against the completed home.

The service charge starts at handover, not at purchase, and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. In Dubai the budget behind it is filed with the Mollak system each year, so the rate is reviewed once the building is occupied and can move from the launch figure.

You will get the unit number, floor, size and exact price for each — not the whole building.

Good to know

Straight answers from the developer's published terms, checked 8 Oct 2026.

40% of the purchase price falls due on booking — from AED 2,088,174 on the lowest-priced home. A bank or a broker may call the same figure the reservation deposit or the down payment; it is one and the same first instalment, and it is paid to the developer rather than to us.

When does The Heart of Europe - Portofino hand over?

Handover is scheduled for Q4 2024. Construction is 100% complete.

What do homes in The Heart of Europe - Portofino cost?

Homes currently available start from AED 5,220,434 and range up to AED 5,490,184 for 1 – 2 bed homes. These are the prices of the homes released for sale through our live feed today, not the launch prices — earlier and cheaper releases may have sold out.

How much does each bedroom size cost at The Heart of Europe - Portofino ?

Published starting prices by layout are 1 bed from AED 5,220,434; 2 bed from AED 5,303,445. Those are the entry price for each size — floor, view and the exact layout move the figure, and the current price list carries the price of every remaining unit.

What is the service charge at The Heart of Europe - Portofino ?

The published service charge at The Heart of Europe - Portofino is 18–22 AED/sqft, billed once a year. On the smallest published layout, 1,705 sqft, that is roughly AED 30,690 – AED 37,510 a year. It starts at handover and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. In Dubai the annual budget behind the charge is filed with the Mollak system, so the figure is reviewed each year once the building is occupied. Checked 8 Oct 2026.

Is my money protected when buying off-plan at The Heart of Europe - Portofino ?

THOE has registered an escrow account for The Heart of Europe - Portofino . In the UAE an off-plan instalment is paid into the project’s escrow account rather than to the developer directly, and is released against construction progress the regulator has verified. We do not publish the account number — your sale agreement and the developer’s own payment instructions carry it.

Does buying in The Heart of Europe - Portofino qualify for a UAE Golden Visa?

With homes currently available from AED 5,220,434, homes here meet the AED 2,000,000 property investment threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa. Since February 2026, off-plan and mortgaged purchases can qualify on a certified valuation — our advisors can confirm eligibility for a specific unit.
