Off-plan & development · Dubai Land Department / Mollak
Estimating service charges before off-plan handover
Before completion, service charges may be estimates rather than approved actual charges. Building design, amenities, management and approved budgets influence the eventual amount.
Apply the framework to the real facts.
Use developer estimates only as a scenario, compare similar completed projects and replace the estimate with the approved Mollak figure when available.
What to check
- Developer estimate and assumptions
- Comparable completed projects
- Amenity and common-area intensity
- Master-community charges
- Approved figure after completion
Common mistakes
- Treating a sales estimate as fixed
- Ignoring district cooling or master-community costs
- Using the lowest comparable without matching facilities
