January, you were a dream!💫 We kicked off 2025 with the ZERO Meeting & setting the tone for big things ahead, conquered the breathtaking Hatta trails, smashed it on the padel court, and—most importantly—shared countless moments of laughter, support, and wins, both big and small. From pushing limits to reaching new heights (quite literally!), this month was a reminder of how powerful we are together. If this is just the beginning, we can’t wait to see what’s next! 🚀 #LivingAscot #teamgoals

LivingAscot Colleague Spotlight: Leonel Barrigh At LivingAscot, we believe that leadership isn’t just about titles - it’s about the impact you make on those around you. Leo’s journey to becoming Area Manager is a testament to more than just hard work, dedication, and going the extra mile. It’s about something even more powerful: the respect and trust of his team. When the time came to choose a leader, his team didn’t just support the decision—they asked for it. They wanted Leo to lead them. Why? Because he had already been doing it—without a title, without a mandate, simply by being the kind of leader people want to follow. Leo consistently led by example, supported his colleagues, and fostered a culture of collaboration and growth. His promotion wasn’t just an acknowledgment of his efforts, but a reflection of the relationships he built and the inspiration he provided. This story is a reminder that success isn’t just about individual excellence—it’s about how you uplift those around you. Bringing your A-game is important, but being a team player, earning trust, and embodying true leadership? That’s what makes the difference. Congratulations once again, Leo - your journey is an inspiration, and we can’t wait to see how you continue to make an impact in your new role! #LivingAscot #inspiration #teamwork

Important Update for Homebuyers! 🏠 Several banks have recently withdrawn their fee financing options, requiring buyers to provide an additional 5% in upfront cash for property purchases. This change could significantly impact your budget and overall affordability. The good news? If you submit your pre-approval application by Monday, January 27, 2025, many banks will still finance the fees under the previous terms. What You Should Do: 1. Act Quickly: Submit your pre-approval application before the January 27 deadline to take advantage of the existing fee financing options; 2. Assess Your Budget: With the new requirements, it's essential to re-evaluate your financial plan to ensure you can meet the increased upfront costs; 3. Explore Alternative Financing: Consider other financing options available in Dubai, such as conventional bank mortgages, developer payment plans, or Islamic home financing. Each comes with its own set of benefits and requirements. Navigating these changes can be challenging, but with prompt action and the right guidance, you can still achieve your homeownership goals. Contact LivingAscot Real Estate today for more details, and we'll assist you in securing the most favorable financing option tailored to your needs. #LivingAscot #mortgage #homebuyer #realestate #realestateDubai #Dubai #UAE #banking
