Overview

A villa cluster on the central green spine of Sobha Sanctuary in Dubailand, close to the planned park and community mall. Sobha is currently selling five-bedroom courtyard villas from AED 7.35 million.

The Brooks is one of the first villa neighbourhoods in Sobha Sanctuary, the master community Sobha Realty launched off Al Ain Road in 2026. It runs along the community's central green spine, and Sobha describes it as within walking distance of the planned district park, wellness centre, community mall and sports grounds, linked by cycle and footpaths.

There are two house types, according to Sobha's FAQ: four-bedroom garden villas and five-bedroom courtyard villas. The four-bedroom houses are two-storey, in four layouts of 2,459 to 3,430 sq ft; the larger ones add a maid's room and an upstairs living room. The five-bedroom villa is 4,107 sq ft on Sobha's floor plan (4,141 sq ft on its listing card), over three floors with a maid's room. The layouts are the same as those published for The Greens, the neighbouring cluster.

Pricing needs care, because sources are at different points in the sales cycle. On 12 November 2026 Sobha's listing showed only five-bedroom villas, at AED 7.35 million, subject to availability. Property Finder still shows the launch prices of AED 3,995,908 for four-bedroom villas and AED 7.29 million for five-bedroom villas, and lists stock as available. The most likely reading is that the cheaper garden villas have largely sold, but we could not confirm it; ask Sobha what remains before relying on either figure.

Property Finder lists the plan as 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, gives completion as September 2029 and records construction from February 2026. Sobha's own page gives no date, so take the date from the sale agreement.

This is a purchase for a family planning several years ahead who wants to be close to the community's centre once it is built. The houses and the developer's finishing are the attraction; the surroundings, including the park, lagoon, schools and shops, are still to come. Sobha gives about 8 minutes by car to Dubai Outlet Mall, 30 to Downtown Dubai and 35 to Dubai International Airport.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry 5-bedroom villa at The Brooks at Sobha SanctuaryAED 7,350,000

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 294,000

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 7,645,020about £1.57M

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
