International City - China Cluster

[Sadozai]

Hello Everyone,

This is the most helpful resource that I could find over the internet relating to the international city development in Dubai. Good efforts and feedback from everyone is more helpful than the Nakheel "Customer Services" or the ill-informed Estate Agents. I have two apartments in Persia Cluster and one apartment in China cluster.

Most of these threads on this forum are relating to the persia cluster and I assume that most of us here have apartments in Persia cluster. However I'm deeply distressed and upset because I have letter from Nakheel that my china studio is ready for handover at November 15th, "LAST YEAR". Can anybody please tell me what in the world is going on. Does anyone know anybody else who has received possession of their apartments in CHINA cluster?????? plz any information will be welcomed. Thanking you in Advance.

Hello,
What is the name of the agent you are dealing with. Is it MBC realty. I have an apartment in Persia N10 & they haven't handed over to me as yet.

Nakheel is to blame

I was at the Nakheel sales Office last week and asked why the delay in handing over the building, The building owner who was present said they were waiting on a final notice of payment from Nakheel. I was present when the building owner said to the Nakheel rep that he had his cheque book and would pay on the spot.

Nakheel could not produce the document so the building hand over saga continues.

Take a drive down to the sales office on Beach Road. It is ridiculous only a limited number of people from Nakheel are qualified to deal with hand overs or sales of International City.

The words Monumental Stuff Up come to mind however it does not help with the hand over process

Hi,
Please send an e-mail to Sara.Mohammed@nakheel.com, giving full details of your apartment # , Bldg # & Estate agent name. She is the customer service representative for International City & it will help that Nakheel knows we are questioning the delays.

Well the building is E7, and the developer is MBC Realty, and the agent is Rustar Real Estate. First these MBC ppl charged me extra 30000 AED claiming that the studio was actually bigger than the rest of the 480 ft. apartments, and claimed that the size was 637 ft. Since i was in pakistan at that time and had no way to double check the claim, and when my agent told me that it is a bargain, i chose this apartment because of the bigger size, only to find out that it is the same as all the other studios. I considered suing MBC but my agent told me that it'll be a waste of money and time.

Anyway i just want my apartment now since I wanna start my own business in Dubai, and this delay is killing all my plans. Does anybody here own an apartment in E7 China?

Hey Sadozai, the residence visa with the property will allow you to come into the country easily, but it does not allow you to work. Eventually you'll have to switch to a company visa.

[Sadozai]

yes gtmash, i know that, i've heard, to my utter astonishment, that they r even charging 8000 dirhams for the residence visa. so i'm not planning to apply for it since i'll be registering my company at DIC. i just wanna know if i'm the only one in china cluster without the possession? all this talk of persia is making me nervous since china was first on the list
