Former Resident 2 months ago

I had many issues finding a suitable place to live in Dubai until I contacted Zaya Developer. My agent helped me find a perfect flat in Hameni, and now I live in luxury. I also enjoy the basic amenities the flat provides and spend my leisure time in the pool with a social bar.

My overall experience with Zaya Developer was positive, and the agent was very understanding throughout the process. I also like the various options available in localities and the personalised changes made to my apartment according to my needs.

I wanted to purchase a flat for my family but was concerned about my kids’ safety. Now, because of Zara Developer, I have no cause for concern. My society, Hameni, has a dedicated kids’ club, trained security personnel, and great neighbours.

The agents of Zara Developer are very rude and have no sense of talking to customers.

My house is in one of the best locations in Dubai, and I am very happy with all the luxuries it offers. I am also thankful to Zara Developer for guiding me correctly and helping me secure a loan for the same property.
