If what you have just said is true, then they look like a solid company. If the company has cash reserves, then that's a big plus point. A company with that profile cannot go wrong.

It's just that when they go around launching projects like hatching chickens, it's a bit worrying.

With their mentioned background and Escrow in place, you should not be worrying.

Just a suggestion, do not put all your money with one developer.

Roshan

Sorry, if we put butterflies into your stomach.

If you maek payment to developers's account then it wont go to ESCROW , you should insist for ESCROW account right from teh beginning or else dont make the payment, Just make 5 or 10 k AED initial amount for blocking the unit and write down on teh reservation form that remaining amount will be paid once the ESCROW is done.

The only place in the full property Agreement where there is mention about the Escrow Account is under the "Sellers Covenants and Warranties" clause where it says in one plain sentence: "The Seller undertakes to deposit the monies received from the Buyer in the Guarantee Bank Account". What are we supposed to infer from this statement and what is happening in reality - no one knows! Who can throw some light on this in relation to the Dubai Property Market?
Mpat, could you direct me to reliable sources where I can get to know how this escrow thing works in Dubai. I called NBD & they r not sure as to how it works. I have already written post dated cheques in the developer's name & I have got their receipts but not one of the monkeys in the developer's office know how this escrow works. The monkeys say that it is being put in the escrow a/c - how can I verify that? Please help me.

it is their first in Ras al Khaimah, and as joint developers with Dubai select, but they already have some in construction in dubai marina (e.g. torch, bay central) so they are not new, and have experience in developing in UAE.

If you dont mind, who is the developer?
I think the best way to go to the website of RERA ( www = realestatecommunity=com) you will find complaint form,
Second thing , go to the master developer, like for JVS , its NAKHEEL .dubai sports city, dubai sports city itself is a master developer and TATWEER is on top of it.
Third thing, Write a letter to the developer mentioning your querries and asking them why not to stop further paying in this situation. ( this will help you in case of a dispute in future also ,and willl make the developer wake up)
Bye

Almost all developers keep something on pre launch,but its not necessary that pre launch will have the best price.Keep doing research on available properties as well as pre launch and then decide....

Well done on this thread - neat idea.

A temporary solution on the way you could possibly make it look like a permanent thread is to make a posting daily, thereby keeping it on top of the list! Crazy idea but it might work.

Moderators - please help

PropertyGuru

Verde by ETA star at Dubai Maritime city. Not a pre launch but a launch.

How do you guys feel about Maritime city.

Good idea to keep it on top of the list.
