Market Update
Independent Finance’s general manager Sam Wani fills us in on the latest movements in mortgages Quarter four of 2011 saw some 2,400 real estate transactions in the land department. Forty per cent of these transactions were mortgage related. This shows a clear trend towards opening up of the mortgage financing for real estate. Eighty per cent of enquiries that Independent Finance receives are from end-users looking to buy a property to live in. A majority of these customers are in mid/senior level positions in medium- to large-sized companies earning AED30,000 and above. They are well established in their jobs, have families and see rent
as a financial loss. For them owning a home in Dubai is building a long-term asset. We have also noticed some home-owners looking to upgrade to a larger property. Some of these customers would sell their properties, use the equity as a down payment and move up the property ladder. Some want to retain properties and rent them out. Interest rates on mortgages fell substantially last year. Average rates have now settled at between 5 and 6%. Most popular products are in 80% LTV category with interest rates of 4.99% fixed for five
years. Some lenders have adopted the practice of lending on properties with title deeds irrespective of where they are located. Others are still location and project specific. We are also seeing a gradual easing of lending on under-construction property; a mortgage product is now available for underconstruction Jumierah Park. Moving forward we expect more lenders to enter the mortgage market and competition to soar. However, unlike pre-crisis, credit analysis will remain stringent. independentuae.com

I love this place...
Arabian Ranches Nandu, Shushma and Avanish Babur welcome us into their family home – and show us their blossoming garden Images by Nasir Rauf, nasirrauf.com
Nandu, tell us why you chose to buy in the Arabian Ranches? The family has been in Dubai for many years, and back in the property boom we bought a number of properties. We actually bought it off plan – we had no idea what the villa or the area would be like once they were finished. We didn’t even know where the Ranches would be – just that the area was somewhere outside central Dubai. I’m MD of Avia Insurance, so it’s important for me to be close to the city. We were told that the property would have the largest plot of all the villas, however, which was exciting for us – we thought it would be a great way for us to express ourselves and be creative with the outside space. How has the Ranches changed since you moved in? The infrastructure around the property has really improved. At first, with the poor road network it took 50 minutes to get into the centre of Dubai, but new intersections and bridges have made it much quicker. As families have arrived here and planted gardens the area has become much greener, and there’s a real buzz about the place with nearby Motor City. It’s a really safe place to live, too – there is security on every entrance, so you can relax knowing your property’s secure. What’s the best thing about living here? It’s close enough to the city for easy access and to still feel connected to urban life, but it’s far away enough to be a real haven of peace and quiet. It’s the perfect balance. The Hattan community is very familyMarch 2012

orientated too, and the landscaping in the area really is beautiful. People are always out walking their dogs, and we take pride in our properties. At dawn, the birdsong is beautiful – you just don’t get that in the city centre, so we’re very lucky. What kind of local amenities are there? There aren’t many places to go out in the evening, but the city isn’t too far away for entertainment. For groceries we have Spinneys and Motor City, and the Community Centre in the Ranches. There are some good take away places too, and a nice Lebanese restaurant called Al Arrab. Everything is very handy, and home deliveries are no problem.

What about schools? Good schools aren’t far away – the Jumeirah English Speaking School is in the Ranches, and the road network means that Dubai’s best schools are only a short drive away – like Dubai College, the English College and International School of Choueifat. Who shares the villa? It feels very much like a family home. Our son Avanish lives here with us, and his younger sister often visits from the UK. Other family members visit the house too, and it’s big enough to accommodate all of them. The house has a nice homely atmosphere and we enjoy the outside living – the basketball court is great for our children and their friends, and we’ve hosted lots of parties in the garden! What was the inspiration for your interior design? The décor is very modern and minimalist, but it’s nice to have a hint of something antique and interesting too. The furniture is very sleek, but we also have a grandfather clock from Switzerland and a few Arabic pieces too. We are an Indian family, but we have tried to incorporate influences that are specific to Dubai and the different cultures that live here. March 2012
Is there a member of the family who takes care of decorating decisions, or is it a group effort? We try to make decisions as a family, but it gets very complicated! My son put together the home entertainment system, and my wife oversees the garden, but we all like to have a little creative input.
green spaces followed. The whole project took about two and a half years. It was great to see our vision come to life, and having so much input was certainly a cost-effective option, but it was very hard work! We worked with lots of different companies on the different aspects, and generally the service was very good.
What should people looking to buy in Arabian Ranches take into consideration? Location within the area is very important – will you have good access to the main roads? Will it be handy for getting to work? Also, if the outside space is smaller you’ll spend less time and effort on maintenance, so it’s worth bearing that in mind.
What advice would you give to other home owners who want to try their hand at creating a garden? Think about how much time and money you can put into the project – Dubai is very hot, and this really affects the wear and tear of outside spaces. A lot goes into creating the landscape, but you will need to maintain the space once it’s finished too. My wife takes a lot of pride in looking after the garden, but it really can be a challenge at times. It’s very important to choose a variety of plants so that there is always something in flower year-round – garden centre nurseries will be able to advise you on which shrubs will work best, so definitely ask them before you buy. Plan the space carefully, too: large green areas will use a lot of water, which can get very expensive and difficult in the summer – patio areas and water features are a lot easier to maintain.
Tell us about your garden – you’ve certainly made fantastic use of the outside space. None of us have training in landscaping, but we were all very keen to take charge of the outside space as a family. We were excited by the prospect of getting creative, so we chose to work really closely with the landscape gardener. In the beginning, all we had was 23,000 sq m of hot sand! We put the swimming pool in first, in the height of summer 2008; the patio, basketball court and

Love Thy Neighbourhood
Arabian Ranches
Your need-to-know guide to what’s in and around the area Renting and buying
Expats can buy or rent property in the Arabian Ranches, providing options for those with short or long-term plans. In fact, there are no less than 12 villa communities to choose from; be it a lake-side Alma Townhome (each set over two levels and with three bedrooms) or a sought-after Hattan villa (enclosed courtyards, open terraces and views across the Arabian Ranches Golf Club), to name but two. Drive into the neighbourhood and you’ll be immersed in a picture-book, villa-strewn community, offset with manicured lawns and pedestrianised walkways. What’s more, with all building work now complete you won’t have to contend with unsightly works or noise.
Shopping and a bite The Village Community Centre is the hub of the Ranches and a real go-to spot for residents. Here you’ll find myriad stop-offs, including shopping, dining and entertainment – in total, some 20 outlets. Among them is an Eezi Clean for laundry drop-offs, Pet’s Delight for March 2012
all your pets’ needs, a pharmacy and supermarket as well as cafés like Costa Coffee and MBCO where you can satisfy nagging caffeine cravings. (We say make for MBCO for tasty sandwiches and salads). Head out a little further to Motor City, meanwhile, and you’ll be met with yet more convenient options, like a large Spinneys supermarket (a must for groceries) and local take away favourite London Fish & Chips (04 434 0540).
Leisure time When it comes to where to spend your time off, the Arabian Ranches has a cluster of options within reach. Most of note is the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club (poloclubdubai.com), which plays host to glamorous international Polo events (March 9 cues the Dubai Polo Gold Cup), where you can sit down with a picnic on the lawns or brunch on the pitch-side terrace – and stomp a few divots after. The club also has a riding academy where both adults and children can make the most of lessons and desert hacking. Golf enthusiasts, though, will want to make straight for the Arabian Ranches Golf Club (arabianranchesgolfdubai.com)
– some villas even overlook its greens – with an 18-hole, par 72, desert-style grass course, designed by Ian Baker-Finch with Nicklaus Design. Make for its Spanish Colonial-inspired Clubhouse post-round and you can kick back to views of the greens with a bite from its international menu. If relaxing is your idea of a good time, however, trade more active pursuits for the area’s beauty treats – residents love Shima Beauty Lounge (04 361 9494) and Tips & Toes (tipsntoeshaven.com) – or plump for a Pilates or yoga class at Exhale (04 447 4220).
Schooling If you need to keep tots occupied, take a look at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club’s cutely-named Little Ponies, part of the better-known Jebel Ali Village Nursery (jebelalinursery.com) whose Arabian Ranches branch is a chief pick for preschoolers. If your offspring are ready to head to school, two of the best in town are the Jumeriah English Speaking School or ‘JESS’ (jess.sch.ae) and GEMS World Academy (gemsworldacademy-dubai. com), both of which are just a short drive from the Ranches.

Dawn Chisholm Experienced family lawyer In UK and UAE, Wills and Property
Question from Pauline, Dubai My husband and I have decided to separate after 11 years of marriage. We jointly own a property in Arabian Ranches and he has told me that he will not sell it but wishes to keep it for himself. We do have other assets but they do not amount to the value of our home in Dubai. Is it possible to force a sale to achieve my share of the assets? Answer: Dear Pauline, Firstly, I am sorry to hear about the breakdown in your marriage. Unfortunately, it seems that over the past 10 years, divorce and separation have increased within the UAE, generally. I would need to consider what are the total assets that you hold, either jointly or eparately. You may not be including such assets as Pensions, insurance policies, end of service benefits, shares, stocks, cars and any other valuables in your possession. You also need to consider the net value of the Property by deducting the Mortgage, if applicable. All other liabilities also need to be deducted before clarifying the total net assets. This might well shed a slightly different light on the division of assets for you. If you have counted all of the above into your calculations and you still cannot achieve a clean split as your husband seeks, then you may well have to consider an action before the Courts for a sale of the Property. It is jointly owned which means that you each own 50% and , effectively, are free to do as you please with your half share. Clearly, it is not always easy when your marriage hits the rocks and the Courts are usually the last sanction but if all else fails, you will likely have no other choice. If you are going to seek a divorce in your home Country, a Final Order on the Finances may be brought to the UAE Courts for enforcement and so if your home Country Court Orders a Sale of the Property, it can be achieved here by what we call Affiliation Proceedings i.e. the obtaining of a Mirror Order for enforcement. Divorce will often also mean that you need to review your assets , once a division is finalized. You must then give serious thought to the making of a Will to ensure that your children and family receive that which they are entitled and that which you wish them to receive, rather than the imposition of Shariaa Law for Non Muslims. Good Luck

Steal their style… Karuna Gurung
A buyer at interiors emporium Lifestyle, Karuna gives us the lowdown on her minimalistic style I like to keep my décor simple and uncluttered at home but I find that traditional furniture can be used to evoke a warm atmosphere throughout almost every room.
I tend to buy most of my pieces from Lifestyle, because I know it’s good quality and affordable. Plus, I get a preview of the collections before they are available in store! If I want to look around, though, I go to Crate & Barrel and @Home. I feel most comfortable in my bedroom – it’s a calm haven away from the outside world. Every home should have a Made By Zen Electrical Diffuser – you can use your favourite oils to create different ambiences. I find it
relaxing and soothing, but when I need a boost I change the oils for an energising mood. It can change the whole atmosphere of your home. One of the best gifts I’ve ever received for my home is a Buddha statue with an oak finish and that’s 30sm high. I currently have my eye on an Tibetan Thangka painting – it’s a portrait of a mother and daughter. I’ve seen it in one of the traditional Thangka shops in Kathmandu, Nepal and plan to hang it in my living room.

Making a Fresh Start
Welcome in the new season by making a few simple tweaks to your home – spring is all about colour, light and natural touches
Banish your clutter by having a spring clean – there’s no better way to embrace the new season than by getting rid of old mess and organising your essential items. Take away anything that reminds you of winter (heavy cushions, seasonal artwork and dark-coloured decorations, for example), and make the most of minimalist tabletops and clean lines. Bring the outside in by incorporating wicker chairs and garden tables into living areas – light furniture pieces can be a stylish spring-like statement. If you have a villa and garden, throw open the French windows in the early evenings, and cuddle up with a throw as the sun goes down. On less breezy nights, light up tealight candles in bloom-inspired holders – try Crate & Barrel (crateandbarrel. com) for pretty rose designs, or Cherry March 2012
Blossom Yankee candles from Lifestyle (lifestylestores.com). Catch the light in crystal and stainedglass accessories – hang them in windows to refract the light into living rooms and bedrooms, or place coloured glass bottles on kitchen sills. Look out for glassware in Bloomingdales (bloomingdales.com) and Galeries Lafayette (galerieslafayette.com) in Dubai Mall. For a twist the kids will enjoy, fill jam jars with food dye and water and arrange white carnations inside – then watch as the flowers soak up the colours. Re-think your colours to incorporate the best of a natural spring palette. Think grassy greens, buttercup yellows and pastel pinks. Ditch dark tones – they’re synonymous with wintery days – and highlight rooms with off-white and

creams. Re-painting a statement wall is an easy and cheap way to update your living areas, or use wallpaper to introduce new patterns. If you don’t fancy redecorating, Indigo Living’s (indigo-living.com) new Retro collection has some light, brightcoloured furniture pieces with a ’70s twist. Take in a new view by rearranging your living room furniture. If the mantelpiece is the focal point, reposition your chairs and sofas to face the windows or patio – the natural light will be great for reading, and it’s an excellent way to move the family’s focus from the television to the garden. Encourage kids to create flower-inspired artworks to hang in their bedroom, or make collages using shells and petals. Revamp your bed linen with floral patterns and cosy scatter cushions. Pack heavy covers and throws away in a suitcase until winter, and make the most of the new season’s offerings instead. Find bold floral prints at Zara Home (zarahome. com), or subtler designs on textiles, towels and linens at Kens and Khalique (kensandkhalique.com). Place shells, fresh flowers and other finds from the great outdoors beside beds for homely spring touches.

Adorn windows and doorways with long translucent linens that will billow in the breeze… They’ll add a touch of romance and soften edges and doors, and can be swapped around for an ever-changing but affordable spring look. Go for vibrant hues to brighten up white walls, or creams and pastels to tone down existing statement colour schemes. Get creative with centrepieces when entertaining – decorate tables with blossom branches and unusual foliage for a fresh look, or experiment with citrus fruits for a unique talking point (and alternative dessert at dinner parties!) They make a quirky alternative to flowers, and will remind your guests that spring has sprung. Create a mini herb garden in your kitchen by planting a window box or bringing small pots indoors. Not only will they smell divine and look fresh, but you’ll get a bit of culinary inspiration every time you snap off a sprig. Get started with basil, rosemary and peppermint, or create your own blend from your favourite tastes. Plant in unglazed terracotta pots for a rustic feel, and rub the leaves whenever you want a herby hit. Browse the selections at Dubai Garden Centre (desertgroup.ae) for ideas.

Maintenance service mplus+ (mplus.ae) recommends these day-today checks to keep your home in tip top condition… Keep an eye on the condition of extension cords and plugs – wear and tear can cause significant damage, so portable appliances (irons, hair dryers) should be treated carefully. Make sure that all wiring is out of the reach of children and animals to avoid damage from nibbles and sticky fingers. And switch appliances off at the socket and unplug – this will save energy too. Test your Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers every month – just open your electrical panel, and press the ‘test’ button. If there’s an electrical fault call a maintenance professional. Get your air conditioning service checked by a qualified service professional as often as the manufacturer recommends – don’t wait until summer. As well as ticking all the safety boxes and keeping the system working efficiently, this can actually keep your electricity bill down! Water leaks can cause havoc, and can be fatal if they’re close to electric appliances or cables. Look out for temperamental water flow and damp patches. Tap connections in bathrooms and kitchens are the main suspects, as well as shut-off valves on sinks, laundry equipment and toilets. Blocked drains can be annoying, but they’re easily avoided: make sure hair is cleaned away in showers, and that food isn’t left in the sink. If water is draining slowly, get it sorted pronto to avoid a serious block.

How Do I… Keep a healthy, safe home? Six simple tips for maintaining your abode

FRESHEN UP We all rely on air conditioning, but if your system isn’t maintained correctly the build-up of nasties can be costly and dangerous. General guidelines state that units should be checked at least every four months, but some filters need to be changed every four weeks. Set up a regular maintenance contract – and remember that failure to comply with servicing recommendations can void your warranty. GET RID OF THE GRIME Sludge, debris and dirt can build up in water tanks, and if not removed swiftly they can lead to legionella and other waterborne illnesses. Check with your building maintenance provider that your tank is cleaned on a regular basis, or set up your own cleaning contractor to give it a regular once-over.
3
CONTROL CREEPY CRAWLIES Hot climates are the perfect breeding ground for roaches, bedbugs and other scuttling pests. To help avoid outbreaks, ensure bedding is fresh, keep a rigorous cleaning schedule, and empty bins on a regular basis. If you are faced with an outbreak, don’t try to tackle it yourself: leave it to the professionals. Pest control methods can be dangerous if not carried out by specialists.
PERK UP YOUR POOL There are simple ways to improve day-to-day pool care – showering before every use and clearing filters of toys can really make a difference. For maintenance and deep cleans it’s worth arranging professional help – and if you use a shared pool that’s looking tatty, quiz the maintainers and contact the building authority if you don’t get the right answers. GET GARDEN-SAVVY Gardening can be a great way to unwind, but when you’re bedding and pruning unfamiliar plants it’s wise to keep an eye on their warning labels. Oleander and desert roses, for example, are found in many gardens across the UAE, but if ingested they can cause nausea, vomiting and respiratory problems. Look out in public areas, too – just because plants are for communal enjoyment, that doesn’t mean they’re safe to touch or eat.
6
LOOK AFTER THE LITTLE ONES No matter how much effort you put into making your home safe, children always seem to seek out danger. Whether it’s pool-side running or playing with electricity sockets, kids should be educated about dangers – so why not involve them in your daily checks? They’ll soon get a feel for what’s safe.

Moving In A go-to guide for those must-have household items.
Beds And so to bed Definitely the place for classic designs in beautiful woods, we’re lusting over ASTB’s regal four-poster collections. Prices aren’t cheap, but if you’re after a top-notch bed this is the place. 0800 144 4343 Indigo Living A one-stop-shop for the whole house, the flagship
store on Sheikh Zayed Road has a tempting array of beds. Choose creams and muted stone colours from the Geneva and Oak Shadow ranges, or the sleek wooden Soho design. 04 346 6934 Home Centre From plush padded frames to more minimalist styles, there’s something for every budget here. The Croco bed is great for discreet storage, or choose the Empire suite for high-octane opulence. 800 694663
