Saidia- Completion Concerns

[leemar]

Hi All,

Further to my post earlier this week, I just wanted to make some general points regarding completion logistics as I am concerned that Addoha may repeat the approach previously taken in terms of pressurising buyer's to complete on properties which are not in an acceptable condition. I hope we can all work together and reach a consensus that completion should occur broadly as follows:

1. Formal written notification by Addoha that our units are ready for completion;

This should be accompanied by extensive photographic evidence of our own individual properties which indicate that at least the property appears to be an acceptable condition for handover. We can then all hopefully avoid the time and expense involved of making any premature trips to Saidia. If Addoha are not prepared to provide such photographic evidence, I note that Shani has said that she would provide this service and in some ways perhaps independent photos would be more accurate in any event.

2. Physical inspection/survey of the property;

For me, Addoha must grant access to myself and more importantly my surveyor in order to conduct a full survey of the property. From my own recent inspection trip to Saidia, I think that unfortunately it is extremely unlikely that such a survey will not uncover numerous defects which will need remedying by Addoha before I am comfortable even considering proceeding to completion.

3. Post survey remedial work;

Following the survey of the property, a suitable timeframe will need to be agreed with Addoha in which they must remedy any defects indentified by buyer's and their surveyor's. This will of course depend on the extent of any remedial work which is identified by buyer's and their surveyors.

4. Formal notification by Addoha that any remedial work has been completed.

5. Review of remedial work carried out by Addoha;

I will need to satisfy myself that Addoha have implemented any recommendations made by my surveyor and myself before finally proceeding to complete.

I will only be prepared to complete if Addoha broadly follow the above guidelines which should not present them with too many problems. What I am certain of is that I will not be bullied into completing until I am absolutely confident that the build quality of my own apartment is verified by an independent third party and any defects uncovered are remedied in so far as is possible by Addoha. If defects are uncovered by my surveyor which can not be remedied then I will either pull out altogether or else seek a price reduction from Addoha in recognition of any defects.

I hope that we can all take a similar stance with regard to completion logistics as in the present climate Addoha need our remaining balance of 60% just as much as we all want our apartments completed to a satisfactory standard.

Hi All,

Just joined this forum. I have an apartment in Saidia & am in the same boat as everyone else, paid staged deposits & am just in limbo at the moment.

How many people are who are waiting to complete, but getting no-where with snagging and follow up ?
