The London office in Harrow will act as a gateway for UK buyers interested in investing in properties in the UAE. It will also function as a hub for the company’s sales operations in the UK market.

According to the statement, the company will provide services such as property consultations, sales support, and customer service for existing and upcoming projects.

Sajan said, “The growing demand for luxury properties in the UK has driven us to establish our new office in London. We are committed to delivering value and quality to our customers, and this expansion enables us to offer our unique proposition to a broader audience. The UK is among our top five markets, and we are confident that our offerings will resonate with discerning buyers seeking luxury homes for investment.

"Our London office will strengthen our relationships with UK clients and partners, providing them with the convenience, accessibility, and support necessary for making well-informed investment decisions.”

Danube Properties has a portfolio worth more than £5.2bn, and the company has developed projects such as Fashionz and Diamondz, which have been recognised for their design and innovation.

The company is known for offering a 1 per cent monthly payment plan over 80 months, making luxury living more accessible to middle-income buyers.
