Its all so much worse when you don't live in Dubai too. I have to go through an agent really as I've got to leave the keys with someone in order for prospective buyers to see the place. This is why my husband wants a solicitor. Every agent tells me a different story so I'm confused about the whole thing. They price the property totally differently (how hard can it be to price a studio in IC) - one agent says that I don't need to be in Dubai at all for the whole process, that it can all be done by POA and they'll deposit my final cheque in my UK bank. The next tells me that I must be there for handover.
