What is the DARI registration fee for Manchester City Yas Residences?

Registering an off-plan sale at Manchester City Yas Residences costs 2% of the sale price for a freehold unit, or 1% for a musataha right, plus a 400 AED e-services fee excluding 5% VAT. Ohana Development, the developer, initiates this registration on the ADREC's DARI platform, not the buyer.
How DARI registration works
For any off-plan sale in Abu Dhabi, the developer has 21 days from the sale date to register the transaction on DARI, or face a 10,000 AED penalty payable by the developer for late registration. The 2% applies to the unit's sale price, on top of the 400 AED e-services fee. Who pays that 2%, buyer or developer, is set out in the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) and is not fixed by default. Our abu-dhabi-property-buying-costs-explained guide covers the full set of registration costs in the emirate.
Why no AED figure can be worked out yet
Manchester City Yas Residences remains on request across all five published Phase 2 unit types, townhouses, duplex and villas alike. Without a confirmed price from Ohana Development, the 2% cannot be translated into a fixed amount. As soon as a unit's price is published, your adviser can calculate the corresponding DARI fee, as is already possible on other Abu Dhabi projects in Orven's collection that list a starting price.

What this means for budgeting your purchase
A buyer preparing a budget should account for this 2% on top of the amount paid under the published payment plan, set out in percentages in our Manchester City Yas Residences payment plan guide. This registration fee sits on top of the unit price; it does not replace any instalment in the payment plan and is not included in the project's published percentages.
