On entering this property, you’ll find a welcoming reception area, which leads to an openplan living and dining room.

An adjoining kitchen and store room provide plenty of space for preparing family meals, and downstairs maids quarters have been converted into a quiet study room. Upstairs, two en suite bathrooms with fitted storage space await – both of which have their own private balconies, with views of the garden and neighbourhood.

The outside space is perfectly landscaped and wellmaintained, and the nearby community amenities include swimming pools, leisure complexes, and two wellstocked supermarkets.

I love this place...

Jumeirah Village Triangle The Haury family invite us into one of Dubai’s newest communities Words by Hazel Plush; images by Nasir Rauf

When Estelle Haury and her daughters Marina and Elisa moved to Jumeirah Village Triangle last year, the neighbourhood was still in its early developments. The amenities were unfinished, and the road network was yet to be completed – but the family fell in love with the high-quality, affordable housing, and the spacious garden of one property in particular. “As soon as we saw the outside space of this house, we loved May 2013

it – and I decided to take it there and then,” says Estelle as she opens the patio doors onto the garden. “I wanted a large plot, and this was the only community we found that offered such a big plot for such good value. It was just sand, so we were able to do exactly what we wanted. My mum is a landscape gardener, so she came over from France to help me – it has been a family effort, and I really enjoyed it.”

Now, Jumeirah Village Triangle is upand-running – and those amenities and road links are coming on nicely. Family is the key to this development, which has excellent access to schools and pristine communal play areas. “They are just behind the house, which is so handy – it’s amazing. The kids can go play all together, take their bikes, and it’s safe,” says Estelle.

“The girls spent most of the winter months

Cover Feature 15

‘When we saw the garden, we loved it – I took the house there and then’ outside. It’s priceless that the kids can run around – I know that most people in Dubai live indoors, but for me outdoors is more important.”

As for the neighbours, it’s a cosmopolitan community, says Estelle. “We have people from India, Ethiopia, Germany... I am very close friends with many of my neighbours.

There are lots of different nationalities, which is very interesting.”

May 2013

The interiors of the family home are a work in progress, admits Estelle. “We feel very settled, but there is still a lot to do on the house. I am so busy that it’s difficult to find the time: I am more focused on spending my time growing my two businesses and seeing my children grow up. The plan is to personalise the villa gradually.”

In the meantime, Estelle is set on perfecting other people’s properties, through her decorative fireplaces company EcoSmart Fire Middle East (ecosmartfire.com). “I started the company just over 5 years ago,” she says. “It was difficult at the beginning, because people thought that nobody in a hot country would ever want a fireplace. But people soon discovered the style and atmosphere that they can bring to a room – it’s not just about heating a space.” When not fitting fireplaces in the likes of Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches and Al Barari, Estelle works with her business partner on new company Deco Avenue (decoavenue.me)

‘I love travelling, and I always try to bring something back from wherever I go’ – an online ecommerce site for secondhand designer furniture.

When not finding a new home for previously-loved interiors pieces, Estelle enjoys looking for inspiration in local interiors shops. “Marina is interesting because you can find some very unusual pieces, and there are some good places on Sheikh Zayed Road. There is a lot of choice in Dubai, but it can be hard to find unique designs. I just got back from South Africa, where I bought a couple of pieces, and I have a hanging ornament from Nigeria that I will put up soon. I love travelling, and I always try to bring something back from wherever I go – I feel that this approach gives your home an exotic, unique touch.”

One of the most treasured additions to the household, however, came directly from France: Vendome, the family’s beautiful Burmese cat. “I brought him with me when we moved out here,” says Estelle.

“He is the king of the house, so he had to come with us – there was no discussion.

I can’t understand how people can just leave their animals when they move. It took him a while to get used to the UAE climate, but he loves our garden – just like the rest of us.”

Jumeirah Village Triangle: the essentials Your need-to-know guide to what’s in and around the area Renting & buying

Leisure time

Shopping & eating

Schooling

What a difference a year makes: the past 12 months have seen landscaped areas and fledgling community hubs appear among the villas and townhouses, turning the area into a desirable residential location. It is one of Dubai’s largest new developments, so you’ll find properties of all shapes and sizes – and there are rental and purchase options galore. Its proximity to excellent schools and the generous size of most plots have made it a hub for young families, so there’s a growing community atmosphere – despite the fact that it’s an upand-coming neighbourhood.

Definitely one to watch.

The list of amenities planned for the area is long, and includes community centres, supermarkets, sports amenities, gyms, as well as local events such as community concerts and markets. You’ll find a few of the above already completed, but for a much bigger choice of distractions head to the nearby developments: Dubai Marina is a quick drive away, as is The Springs (with its supermarkets), and the verdant greens of The Track, Meydan Golf (meydangolf.com). Golfers of all levels are welcome, and there is an open pay to play fee structure – so you won’t have to pay for membership, ever.

While The Gardens shopping mall is still awaiting completion, there are plenty of other places from which to pick up your groceries. Head to The Springs for a Spinneys and Choithram – perfect for a quick stop after the commute or school run. If it’s fast food you’re after, Town Centre in The Springs is a prime location, and is just a few minutes away by car. If you’re ordering in, be sure to make your directions clear – this is still a new area, so deliveries can be tricky. In the development, the retail and dining facilities are set to open over the next 12 months, but good road links mean that finding a bite to eat is never difficult.

This family area boasts a number of schools within very easy reach, with a good choice of curriculums and age groups to boot. The Children’s Garden (tcgbarsha.ae), a Taaleem school in Barsha, is an excellent choice, as are Greenfield Community School (gcschool. ae) and Dubai British School (dubaibritishschool.ae) – also Taaleem establishments.

Dubai International Academy (diadubai.com) educates students from KG1 to IB Diploma level, and Victory Heights (vhprimary.com) offers British Curriculum at Primary level.

Foremarke School Dubai (foremarkedubai.org) will join the ranks in September 2013.

Market update

Independent Finance’s general manager Sam Wani reveals the latest movements in mortgages

In 2012, Dubai overtook Hong Kong as the world’s second busiest airport, with 58 million visitors to Dubai Airport. Of these passengers, 20% visit the city of Dubai. The flow has given a big boost to the tourism, hospitality and retail sectors – and has also created opportunity for the local real-estate industry.

The city is embarking on yet another growth cycle in 2013. However, what makes the situation different from before is that it has a larger diversified economy both here and in the surrounding region, for which the city is a commercial hub.

Higher liquidity and projected growth has encouraged the banks and developers to work on new and improved products. For example, DAMAC Properties is planning to open to public shareholders in an IPO, and is looking for potential

underwriters. If this happens it will be a major boost to the IPO activity on the Dubai Financial Market. Emaar launched MIRA in April, with the first phase of 188 units released to an eager crowd of buyers. Indeed, Emaar has hit its stride with the market, with 1000 units pre-booked in launches so far this year.

The backdrop to this activity is the price appreciation in 2012. Prices have kept rising for 16 consecutive months

by March this year. The total Q1 price growth was 6.1%.

Dubai Marina rose by 16.5%, Downtown grew by 5.8% and JLT saw a rise of 20.7%. Despite the market recovery, the prices are far from the heights of 2008; apartment prices remain 43% below peak and villa prices remain 12% below peak.

The price growth could have been tampered by an expected supply of new

property. However, delays and bottlenecks could reduce supply. Only 2,200 units were supplied in Q1 of 2013. Most estimates expect the supply to be 12,000 every year over the next three years. 18,300 transactions took place in 2012, and 2013 could expect as much as 22,000 transactions. This number will continue to grow in coming years.

These factors have forced more banks to enter the mortgage market. Since the banking sector is carrying a liquidity of AED1.12 trillion, there is a downward pressure on interest rates. The impact was felt by Tamweel, the biggest mortgage lender in the country.

High cost of funds forced it to be taken over by DIB, the largest Islamic bank in the city.

However, low interest rates are good news for mortgage based end-users.

Jumeirah Village Triangle has been one of the most requested communities over the past since months, considering the project being completed by Nakheel. It is a community of villas and townhouses with huge plots and excellent finishing, with the same entrance as The Springs and Jumeirah Park. Prices have increased over 20% in the last six months. Prices keep on increasing for this unique project with its lovely location, which is very close to Dubai Marina and JBR, and is now the closest community to DWC Airport, which will commence its passenger operations in October 2013.

Victoria Rushton, Residential Consultant

The recent release of Title Deeds has given a boost to consumer confidence.

Many families are relocating to Dubai Investment Park, with four accredited schools, three supermarkets, hotels, many leisure and sporting activities, and monthly community Market Days. There is a real sense of community spirit there.

People love living in this leafy, safe, family environment. The end-user demand has driven the sales and rental prices dramatically over the last six months in The Green Community East and West. We have also seen a larger foot fall in the Better Homes, Green Community Branch.

Leaseholders: know your rights If you rent your home, you need to know these renting rules – and how to protect yourself if it all goes wrong

A recent survey by Better Homes showed that 66% of property renters and owners think it’s difficult to find a UAE real estate agent they can trust. With stories of rental scams, fluctuating prices, and more developments on the market than ever before, there’s no excuse not to know your rights.

Go with a trustworthy realtor

Check your cheques

“All real estate agents in Dubai need to be RERA registered,” says Zubin Firozi, Head of Property Management at Better Homes.

“Without this, it is a sign they are amateurs, or possibly scammers. Also, they should work for reputable agencies, as they would be properly vetted before the agency employed them.” With Better Homes’ Rate and Review tool, the public can give their verdict on the service and insight offered by individual agents, so you can choose the right one for you – and have peace of mind when you need it most. For more information, see bhomes.com

Renters should ensure they issue cheques in the name of the landlord only. If cheques are issued to a real estate management company, then check if they are authorised to receive cheques on behalf of the landlord. “The number of cheques required per year varies according to negotiations with the landlord,” says Firozi.

“Landlords prefer payments in one cheque and tenants prefer paying in multiple cheques. During the boom phase landlords only demanded one cheque – however, after the market crash it became common to accept four to six cheques.”

May 2013

52 Better Interiors

Do the paperwork

Know your rights

Try to see the original title deed before you sign, and obtain a copy of the landlord’s passport. If you are subletting the property, the actual tenant should have written permission from the landlord to do so.

If possible, sign the lease agreement in presence of the landlord. After you’ve signed, ensure you receive an Ejari registration certificate, as every contract must be recorded on the Ejari system.

“The standard practice in Dubai is that the landlord will be responsible for major maintenance on the property such as air conditioning, water heaters, and water pumps – while minor maintenance such as replacing light bulbs, hose pipes, door knobs and so on will be the tenant’s responsibility. These norms are usually part of the tenancy contract, however in absence of this the law states the following: ‘Landlord shall be committed to hand over the property in good condition that enables tenant to obtain the benefit subject of the tenancy contract.’

Also: ‘Landlord shall, during validity of the tenancy contract, be liable for undertaking maintenance of the property and shall rectify any defects or faults that affect tenant’s intended benefit from the property, unless the two parties agree otherwise’.”

Get the amenities you’ve paid for If your landlord hasn’t paid the property’s service charges, you may be barred from using the development’s amenities.

Ensure all payments are up to date before signing by seeking documentation from the developer or the Owner’s Association.

Watch out for additional fees “Usually tenants have to pay a brokerage fee (commission) to a broker for finding the property to rent,” says Firozi. “Along with this, tenants pay a fee of AED200 for registering their tenancy contracts with Ejari. It is imperative to check the terms of the tenancy contract as there could be other fees enforced by the landlord/agent for bouncing a cheque, late payments, or other administrative fees.”

Take it further If your landlord refuses to take responsibility for problems that fall under their obligations, take action by notifying them in writing, and keeping a record of every correspondence. If the landlord doesn’t comply, file a case with the Dubai Municipality Rental Committee.

Are you a landlord?

Heed this advice to protect yourself and your property Vetting your tenant

• Meet the renter so you can identify and assess them • Ask for bank statements and proof of income if you need to vet their financial situation • Take a copy of the renter’s passport and visa when signing the contract • Do a site inspection after signing, to identify the tenants who occupy the property Contract

• Have a solid contract document in place, not a onepager • Have the tenant confirm in writing who is living there, so they cannot sublet • Every agreement with the tenant made should be in writing • Register the contract in the Ejari system with the property title deed • If the contract is in the name of the tenant, ensure they give you their own cheques to pay the rent Contact the professionals

• Hire a reputable property management company like Better Homes to safeguard and maximise your investment with less hassle. Call 600 52 2212 or email customercare@bhomes. com for details

My style

Essential interiors inspiration – whatever your taste quite exciting. My favourite shop for vintage decoration is in Hamburg, Germany. It’s called Das 7 Zimmer – you find treasures there.

Tall Vases

Kai Steffan The creative director of Villeroy & Boch loves vintage and nature-inspired interior design

Tooth Stool

Overall, the style of our home is natural, laid-back, comfy and family-friendly. The look and feel of the furniture is rather Scandinavian – calm and clear – and you will find some design classics here and there.

a big kitchen is a must for me. It doesn’t have to be perfectly equipped with high tech gadgets, but good and healthy food should be prepared there. And, of course, the tableware is an important point. We have lots of vintage plates that we like to mix. When we’re entertaining, each of our guests usually gets a different plate – they bring colour to the table and often serve as good conversation pieces. i like to collect natural objects that i find outside – they inspire me by their shape or surface.

Last summer my daughter brought home a volcanic stone from her holiday as a souvenir for me. I was quite touched and pleased. These kind of personal things mean so much more to me than any design piece in my home.

‘If I like a place, I always try to buy or find something to remember it by’ We are still searching for a long, old dining table. A home that doesn’t have a big table where you can just sit with your family and friends to talk, think, eat and laugh is an empty home. villeroy-boch.com

i mostly get my inspiration from travelling and nature itself. If I like a place, I always try to buy or find something to remember it by – no matter whether it’s in a city or the countryside.

Complemented by an array of contemporary art, the striking bed frame, storage and vanity area set is light yet hard-wearing, with a high-quality feel that never goes out of style. This look works best if you have plenty of sunlight and minimal knick knacks to avoid a cluttered effect.

If you don’t have big windows, invest in a few table lamps, and avoid heavy curtains or blinds. Walls should be kept neutral, painted or covered with all-natural hues such as charcoal, green or sandy beige.

Bring life into the room with living plants or flowers (artificial blooms just won’t cut it), and a dash of vibrant colour in rugs or cushions – we love the striking orange throw, above.

For a feminine look, it’s all-too-easy to focus on pinks and purples, but this striking set from Q Home Décor (left, qhomedecor. com) offers a demure designer style.

Featuring a mirrored bed frame and dazzling suspended mirror, this look is spectacular in daylight and at night. A subtle bedside table provides handy storage, and a metallic ottoman (just seen at the base of the bed) is a playful twist for those with lots of floor space. Soften this look with a cosy rug and plenty of high-quality bed linen. If walls are plain, inject some colour into the room with soft accessories – this purple bedspread is great for grown-up girls, and a few bright cushions will go down a treat too. This look is perfect for those living in rented accommodation, as it leaves walls virtually untouched, but home owners should hang vintage photographs for an arty feel.

Decadent den

Couture

If you dream of an elegant, luxurious bedroom, take inspiration from this lavish design by Couture (left, couture.ae), which is simple yet endlessly stylish. The goldentrimmed bed frame cuts a bold figure against its black satin headboard, and makes a truly striking centrepiece. To add drama, keep the colour scheme dark: royal blue and black are perfect for creating an enigmatic space – in this look, natural light is over-rated.

Splash out on luxe accessories, too, like a vast sink-in rug, intricate cushions, and delicate curios. Art should be decadent, and always framed, and curtains should always hang from ceiling to floor. Last but not least: ditch the bedside lamps. Mini candelabras are much more glam, don’t you know? And they’ll create a magical, romantic atmosphere when night falls.

‘Invest in beautiful bed-side lamps and a soft rug for a grown-up finish – and banish unnecessary clutter to fitted wardrobes or discreet storage solutions’ Contemporary classic

House of Zunn

For a modern look with a timeless twist, you can’t go wrong with a delicate baroque bedroom set. This luxe range from House of Zunn (left, zunndesigns.com) is truly divine – and with its contemporary mirrored sections and quilted leather headboard it’s right up to date too. Stick to an understated colour palette, and look to quality materials to provide interesting textures instead. High quality trimmings are a must, and we love the stately feet of this bed, and the sturdy yet soft ottoman. To keep it classy, walls should be unadorned – a simple light slate or sandy egg shell emulsion is perfect – and don’t scrimp on window coverings either. Simple blinds would suffice, but why not complete the look with heavy full-length curtains for a decadent effect? Invest in beautiful bedside lamps and a soft rug for a grown-up finish – and banish unnecessary clutter to fitted wardrobes or discreet storage solutions.

Keep it covered How to maintain a safe and hygenic mattress

“We’re expecting our first child in September, and we’re already thinking about the nursery.

Do you have any tips for making it a safe and healthy environment, that our baby will love?”

– Kate and Charlie Pickerill, TECOM Invest In expert beddIng Sudarshan Rai, Marketing Manager, Dubai Furniture Manufacturing Co. LLC. (DFMC)

pAy AttentIon to detAIl Billi Grayam, parent & home owner, The Greens

“King Koil, a world leader in mattresses with presence in over 60 countries globally, produces speciality baby mattresses. Keeping the baby’s need in mind, the mattresses are designed according to the highest hygienic and sanitised standards. The mattress line comes with two special surfaces and is made of anti-allergic fabric that is 100% breathable. The top surface can absorb and dissipate up to two litres of water, maintaining a near dry surface while the other surface maintains a dry surface by facilitating airflow and has a soft feel to facilitate blood flow and avoid rashes on skin. The fabric covering of the mattress can be removed and washed separately. The mattress can still be used while the cover goes in the wash, since it has a high-end inner covering (which is 100% waterproof and prevents liquids from getting into the core of the mattress). It is anti-microbial treated and hence is resistant to bacteria/fungi/dust mites, providing a germ-free environment for babies.” www.mattress-leader.com

“As full-time workers, it took us a few weeks to get our baby’s nursery ready, so it’s worth compiling a list of essential purchases and considerations to make it as easy as possible. Everything should be planned with safety in mind: for example, make sure the cot’s bars are no more than 5cm apart, so your baby’s head can’t get stuck. If you have a second-hand or handmade cot, strip it and paint it with lead-free paint. The same goes for any furniture in the bedroom, to protect against lead poisoning. Secure all furniture to the wall so that it can’t topple over, and avoid curtains and blinds with cords as they can lead to strangulation. Hang shelves or buy a chest of drawers that are specifially for baby hygiene items – nappies, wipes, etc. They should be kept out of reach of your baby, and careful storage will enable you to see when stocks are low. On windows, locks are essential for children of all ages. When you’ve got baby brain, it’s easy to be forgetful, so always pay attention to the small details too.”

Veggie Thai treats

Think vegetarian cooking is dull? Think again. Mango Tree’s head chef shares his favourite punchy, meat-free Thai recipes “Some people think vegetarian dishes are boring,” says Chef Paul Kennedy, “but as well as fresh vegetables you can bring life to great dishes with ingredients such as lentils, beans, tofu and Quorn.” It’s all in a day’s work for Chef Paul, who heads a team of 25 in the Thai-inspired Mango Tree kitchen. “Thailand is not well known for its vegetarian food,” admits Chef Paul, “but at Mango Tree we have lots of veggie dishes as we try to cater for different tastes.

Meat eaters should try going vegetarian every once in a while: there are the health benefits, of course, and you’d be surprised at the amount of flavours you can get too.

It’s important to include a mix of nonmeat protein and fibre for filling results, and experiment with different cooking techniques – for example roasting, for a really tasty flavour. Stock up your spice rack, too: Thai staples like galangal, kaffir lime and lemongrass are essential.”
