Does anybody know anything about this development. I know Fadesa have merged with Martin SA. My friend has paid 40000 euros already for a property here, which should have been ready in June 2006. It is still nowhere near ready. Bank guarantee has run out and her lawyer is trying to get another one. However she has not heard from him either. Can anyone help?

Hi,

I am very new to Dubai and in amidst of signing tenance contract for leasing and rental apartment in Bur Dubai.
One of the additional clause mentions " The tenancy lease will be renewed at prevailing market price at the date of renewal as agreed subject to variation"
Agency states that this market price & variation and is pertaining to rental laws where the annual rental increment is limited to 5% after two years of lease and is quite standard.
Please advice if this should be a cause of concern. Your comments are appreciated a lot!!
Thanks

Hi Matlee,

You would probably get more answers if you posted this on the main forum too rather than the International City one. You might have to make a new thread as I don't know if there is one already for misc. questions.

Best of luck

Thanks Isab,

I have established a new thread under Dubai properties, and hope to get a quick response from someone.

i have also two shops in england cluster tring to rent it out for the last 7 months but no one is willing to take it , what is the best rent to ask ?, somone was saying that jafza discourage people to do buisness so prices come down ,and it takes like upto 2 years to get a licece. some people have even paid rent upto one year still wating for licence now they have cancelled lease agrement. i ithnk it would take a few years to get the shops started . and price would come down to 150 to 250per square foot, and rents will come down to 15 to 20 dhs per square foot per year . the international city retail shops are the only investment in whole of uae ,which have lost value.i wish had never invested there.

Thanks

I think Mohammad, because agents such as yourself more or less took it over - same with the 'For Sale' thread. As an agent you need to pay to advertise your services on the forum by becoming a premium member.

can the shops in international city dubai be converted into apartments ???. as apartments are selling for like 1000 per sq feet and shops are not even being sold for 500 per sq feet . if nakheel allows the shops to be converted into apartments han it would be a great favour o the owners as they would be able to recover there orignal cost

I have bought 2 apartments in morrocco (international city) and are hoping to rent them out,does any one know any good rental agencies and also your opinions on if I should furnish them ?
Any advice on the above or any think else I should be aware of would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi Rebecca,

I bought in Persia, IC, handover was in September 2007. Rented straightaway through Exclusive UAE, a British run company based in Dubai. If you intend to rent long term, you do not have to furnish your apartments. The tenants bring their own furniture. Exclusive will arrange water & electricity connections. Connection fee is charged to the tenant. Exclusive also arranged the snagging & sorted out all the issues before the tenant moved in - I had to pay for this.

Search in Google for Exclusive UAE

Hope this helps
