you have obviously had to bare the brunt of being mis-lead also, it's as you know first hand extremely frustrating. My agent in Manchester is with holding my Nakeel contract since December.

I am seeking compensation, again hitting a brick wall or in this case Homes Dubai, now re-named homes International. Who have now stopped replying to my reqests, via phone and e/mail. Whats even more annoying is he will have earned over 6,000stg from interest in their bank account since I paid in full 13 months ago. Also paid into his account Dec 2006 the full amount for maintence @ 12 drms (i think it was from memory) per sq ft, which they told me was 1,083 ft of space I had purchase. So I have asked Homes to refund this also pro-rata, of my now large studio !! NO REPLY
Oh they did suggest suggest they would try to sell it for me and if they did they would then and only then give me back the original market value, I booked it at in 2005 ! The owner of the Agency acutally suggested this as a reasonable solution.

Unfortunately this is going to be an on-going saga as I dont intend taking this, now the worst service on the planet, sitting down. I am keen to hear if any body else has had similar experience's with Homes in Manchester. By the way I live in Ireland and therefore have been unable to drive to their office, I dont know if I would anyway, as i might have difficulty knowing when to take my foot of the gas and on to the brake when I got there !!!

Thanks and if anyone can suggest a course of action I can take to ease this pain please let me know
