Any idea what's involved with the collection?

I know the feeling, they didn't bother telling me I had to keep asking. They said they will email me on the 15th March with further details on when and where exactly to collect the keys. I have to email them my letter of authority for my friend to collect the keys.

Thanks for that.
I've been emailing them regularly too - last time ony a week ago. After reading your post I emailed again with the date that you'd been given, and they then bothered to get back to us.
We're in Bahrain at the moment so will pick up the keys ourselves I suppose - it's only a short flight away.
Have you decided what to do with it? (rent? sell?). I'm almost certain we're selling and buying in Egypt. Keep changing our minds though

Anyway congrats. After all this time, K7 finally got there!!

Hi Isab,
Have you collected your keys yet? I am still waiting to hear for my apt? Not sure what is happening!

Can anybody help me regarding the process of registering with DEWA. I have just been told that keys for K7 building are ready to collect and had arranged for a friend who lives in Dubai to collect for me (as I live in the UK) by providing a letter of authority. This all seemed fine until I receive an email saying keys will only be handed over AFTER the DEWA account has been transferred into my name. I'm told that I have to do this in person in Dubai and that there is no way around this. Does this sound correct?? My other concern is that it appears to transfer my DEWA account I must show a residence visa in my passport (something I cannot provide as I'm not a Dubai resident). How have others got round this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not over happy that I've paid a years service charge in January and have still not received the keys. I wonder if they will want another years service charge in just 9 months???

Interesting

Last year this wasn’t the case.
Who are you buying the flat from?
I presume if the building owner is not playing games than the government wants you to make a residential visa before you have the key.
Of course they make 7000 DHS from each visa

I got a residential visa of Uae. I paid only 5000 Aed. just a month back.

HI,

I got keys to my apartment about month back with out any condition to transfere of dewa account, i was given application form for dewa services, which i intend to pass it onto tenants to pay deposit and connect water and electricity, i was informed the cost for getting residence visa direct from Nakheel is 5000 dhs or 7000 dhs through agent.
Best to contact dewa direct to clarify the need for residency visa,if its still required for purpose of transfere of account when you are not in dubai,may be title deeds or contract be sufficient to transfer dewa account to your name.

I got in touch with developer for the K6 and they told me that it should be ready by the 2nd of April? Apparently all is finished, they are just sorting the paper work.
