Property Agents & Handing Over Process - HELP!

[helenc]

If anyone can help - it really would be appreciated!

I'm still in the midst of buying a studio falt in I.City Persia and am getting quite worried about the process.

The building owner had signed the contract and sent them to me to sign before sending it back to Nakheel. It's now been returned to me and it's no different to when I sent it away. Is this normal? There's no dates of when the contract was given etc.

I've still not got the keys for the flat and am worried that I may have bills sitting over in Dubai at the flat that I'm not aware of. I don't seem to have been given any information about what to do next. I see on the contract it says correspondence will be sent via fax or to the flat itself but not to me in England (unless by fax). I don't have a fax!! Hence -what has anyone else done in this instance? Should I also be worried (because I've had to pay the water bill) that I'll have bills sitting out there that aren't being paid? As I've already had to pay 1 water bill - will I automaticaaly be getting more sent to me? Or because I've not yet been handed the keys - am I responsible for anything at the flat until I get the keys?

I was thinking of finding a property management agent to keep an eye on the place and sort out all of these things. Can anyone reccomend a good reliable agent?

Finally - if bills etc aren't paid - what happens! I'm worried because I don't want to be in this country and get hauled up for something abroad!

Any advice would be great!
Thanks Helen

Hi,

Looks like somebody is playing with you
What you need to do is to go to Dubai and get the key.
Once you get the key the rest is history
Just pay 2%for the registration, plus 1.5% for the land and tell your agent to **** off
Once you have the key you play the cards.
Good luck
