Hi, I bought in IC4. I had to pay 2% registration fee. I received a letter dated 1 March 07 stating that the apartment was ready for handover provided I pay the outstanding balance. This was divided into 2 parts. Payment owed to Nakheel which included a late penalty fine with a 10% markup also the service charge and land registration fee at 2%. Their side I owed them a small balance plus 5% for the service/documentation charges. I queried the items for Nakheel, but as I got no response from ARY I sent an email to Nakheel. It was answered by Sara Mohammed who stated that they required the service charge and land registration fee at 1%. I then wrote another email to ARY for the attention of the G. Manager raising this and that Nakheel have not asked for a penalty charge and secondly that the land registration was 1%. I recently got a reply with an updated balance outstanding.....listen to this.......it has kept in the penalty charge, taken out the markup, reduced the land registration fee to 1%. But then the amount that they say is owed to them, ARY, is their service charge....this has now been itemised....and the total is more than they asked for in their previous letter. The reduction from Nakheel seems to have shifted to their side.....again I have queried this and I am currently waiting for a reply...it has been 2 days now...and still waiting!!!!
