Hi,
Is anyone on this forum using homesdubai who are based in the uk as there agent?
If so can you e-mail to me for more info?

My advice is, learn from the ones that already got their fingers burnt. These agents are just middlemen, who surprisingly don't know about the market they are delaing with (such as Dubai)! Can't provide you with regular updates about your developement. They are only interested in their commissions! Once they have. These people will lie to you till the cows came home.

Golden Rule for future: CUT OUT AS MANY MIDDLEMEN AS YOU CAN!!

Forget to mention, This particular middleman agency is no better than most of them out there! Avoid at all costs, For anyone thinking of investing, visit the damn place first! Do as much research as you can and try to go direct to developer if you can.

Good luck

Couldn't agree with you more.

Having a UK address, a nice website and people available on the phone does not necessarily make any difference.

This agent was even quoted in newspaper articles.

it really is the wild wild west out there !

That's so true! I run my own property forums with a friend, and this poster just mentioned he got involved with a property association. He didn't visit the damn place n it turned out to be a total sh*t investment from the sense, it didn't live up to what the association members had said.

ALWAYS VISIT THE SITE FIRST, and yes agreed go straight to the developers.

we are using homes dubai based in manchester, we are buying a studio in france and have paid approx third of the purchase cost, we signed our initial contract with them in may 06 and were told that the project would be completed by xmas 06.we have it very hard to get information from them. they don't seem to want to commit to any information. for example we went to dubai and the developers told us that the unit number had changed from the one given on our contract, when we got back to the uk we e-mailed homes dubai for an answer and we are still waiting for an answer

Hi Alden I'm using a UK based company Dubai Property Link and have not heard much from them either. I have received my Sales Purchase Agreement but they have never contacted me with updates about when my studio will be ready. I was originally told Sept 07 but through feedback on this forum have realised I am more likely to get it early next year. I think all these agents are poor on providing updates and this is partly due to the fact they don't know the information themselves. Has anybody heard any future updates on Greece sector and does anybody know if this sector will be affected by the sewerage smell as it seems quite close.

I found it easier to deal direct with the building owner in Dubai. You will know who it is, because you will get letters and payment reminders from them.

I would strongly advise you to make sure you have receipts for any payments you have made. Also, keep a record of all correpondance including emails.
