Light at the end?
Hi there,
Sorry for not replying sooner, but you know how it is on the weekends; the last thing you want to see is a computer! But anyway, the fact of the matter still remains. I mean everyone the world over buys property on the basis of a floor plan, for the lack of a demo apartment. My floor plan indicates two balconies, so having to forfeit one may be unsettling, though acceptable. But no balconies is ridiculous. And it's not a matter that should be dealt with lightly. I think I've just about had enough with Tamweel, and it's probably the last time I'll deal with them.
Worst of all is the deplorable level of consumer rights in the Emirate. With all the publicity of the Dubai Land Department, there sure is little or nothing that is actually being done to protect the rights of investors. I've been in contact with some real estate companies who have had probably worse experiences in purchasing entire buildings at IC. Needless to say, they have already sold off their interests because of the lack of cooperation from Nakheel and Tamweel.
As Wayneis had mentioned in a previous post, the finish of the apartments is just terrible, especially as a brand new one. Mine had loose kitchen cabinets that look like a two-year old had assembled. And the paint spatters were even better! At least the lights and air-con were working!
The high rate of construction in Dubai and IC, has put serious doubts in my mind as to the quality of construction. I guess it's left to be seen how many building are still standing after 15 years!
I'm still going to try to get Tamweel to do something about the house though. Will let you guys know what ensues.
