In this letter they had broken down the 5% charges into separate headings, all of which were never mentioned to me when I was buying the apartment. The charges were broken down into the following categories :
Survey and Inspection Charges @ 2.5% AED 7000 +
Clearance and Handing Over Charges AED 2500 +
Documentation and Legal Charges AED 3500 +
ARY Service Charges AED 1000 +
Sub-Division of the Unit (Land-Dept) AED 1850
Deposit to DEWA for Meter AED 1800
Security Deposit (DEWA) AED 2000
This time the amount has gone up from the previously mentioned 5% of cost price that they have asked for.
Can the owners of any ARY International City, Especially those living in the UAE, please contact me via email or reply, ASAP to discuss these inappropriate charges. I would like to talk to you over the phone, and will give you my number if you contact me.

Dear SAK,
I am living in Dubai and have invested in International city. We are even suffering the same problem with another real estate agency (seems like everyone of these people have lost their dignity) but i was unable to ignore the charges you have mentioned.
For DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority - Dubai) the charges are AED 1000 for the Main and Sub Meter + AED 1000 as Security deposit (which is completely refunsable); I think ur real estate company have added few extra charges to every charge. I am trying to get in touch with Nakheel directly as my real estate company is now holding all the delay against Nakheel as they have delayed the land registration.
Let me know if I can help you guys in anyways being present in Dubai (though I am struggling to get my apartment but still I will do my best)
Regards,
Aseem
