International City Persia Cluster Handing Over

[maryjo]

Yes, I would like to get some more info and costs involved too in getting someone else to sign the paperwork over in Dubai. I am finding it difficult to get things arranged to go over at the moment, so it would be good to get an idea of prices involved, although I would prefer to go over myself.
Thanks.

yes, anyone living in dubai advise us of any GOOD property agents who can do the handover and manage our properties?

we have been asked by the building owner to contact Gowealthy for a handover date. I have emailed them today.
Our building is Persia N3.

I receieved a letter from ARY properties yesterday stating I have to pay the balance amount pending which also includes aanother 2% of land resgistration fees plus 320 dirhams. the biggest shock was that they have slapped me with a 5% service charge. thats like 15,000 dirhams for their service such as manpower, fuel, phone calls (apparently none to me). Instead of compensating their logic is that they lost out in terms of manpower blah blah blah for one year for which I am the cash cow. What can I do about it? I blasted their sales team on the phone they had just vague answers. I wanna know if they have charged all other ARY buyers with such a fess. Note, this fees is to be paid to ARY for their service provide. Like, they had sold the partment without making any profit!! Obviosuly they have made very good profit on apartments and most of the finance came in terms of installments paid by hoem owners. I wanna know if you guys are also in the same situation??? Is there any redressal for such things in Dubai? Cuz Nakheel is Govt owned but not ARY. ARY has also left 1000 buyers of its flats in IC stranded cuz they were promised to get 70% mortgage which would be paid out by itself from rent accrued from the property over the next 15 years. Many pakistanis bought by paying 30% and the company used that money for 30 months and then finally handing them over cancellation letters along with a service charge of 10% of the amount paid. that is 3% of the original apaartment vaalue. So funny?

Help Help!!

Hi ,
Does anyone have an apartment in Persia N10 with MBC Realty. It's the same story...Nakheel & MBC Realty each blame the other for handover delay.

[laguna33p]

i never knew N10 existed, i thought persia was the smallest sector!!

[amrita]

Hi,
Well N10 does exist, I have seen the building. It's ready. But whenever I contact estate agent they say Nakheel is delaying to handover the keys. I just wonder if all flat owners haven't paid up and hence the delay. But really would appreciate an honest answer from the Estate Agent. By the way Persia is quite big...I have even heard N14 !!!

As i am having some problems arranging to go over to Dubai for handover myself, I am considering getting Fix'R'Us to do it on my behalf. My agent has said they will check it over, arrange with DEWA to get everything connected and do the handover process for me. they can either send my keys to me here in the UK or hold on to them in Dubai until I am able to go over. If I want my keys sent to me it will probably cost around £50 (to cover insurance etc.) Has anyone appointed someone else to do the handover for them and if so did evrything go smoothly? Any problems with it? Also how much did you pay to have it all done for you and what did they actually do? I would be really grateful to hear how it went as I am still deciding whether to go ahead and get Fix'R'Us to do it for me.
Thanks in advance.

I had a HUGE issue with water connection. I paid the DEWA security deposit direct to DEWA itself, but the moron who is in-charge of turning on the water will not go to do his job until you complain a lot. The only way to comfirm water supply is to go into your apartment again and again to check. Rumours are the guy takes bribes, although the guy finally showed up and did it after 3 weeks because he must've realised I have a relative in DEWA. MY advice is not to pay any bribes and keep complaining to DEWA customer service (dewa.gov.ae) if this happens to you.
