Didn't read any such thing. Ask yer buddy for a source, as every paper here has a website.

My deed was kept ready by my building owner since November. I just picked it up this month. So if you trust whoever has your deed now, they can hold it for you.

Why did you buy property here if you never plan to visit it? The deeds are not a pre-requisite to making money from rent. Just pick it up for free when you visit Dubai. Of course, if you just bought the place just to sell it again, then you are just a speculator. :mad:

While most building owners are individual dipshts or corrupt real-estate agencies, my "building owner" is actually just an investment firm that has professional staff handling these extras for free. No extra service charges other than what Nakheel and the Land Department charges (and I have paid...

I got my deed from the building owner, but affection plan will be delayed. I recieved that same email about 10% service charge increase, but that is the last I heard from Nakheel.

Isn't it right next to the sewage plant?

The deeds for at least some Persia buildings have been handed over to the building owners. My building owner handed me the deed unconditionally, but apparently the "affection plan" is still pending. Nakheel directly sent me an email in December about preparing to charge maintenance fees with a...

Not bad at all. I assume your consultant company is putting up the temporary bank deposit of Dhs 150,000 (or something)?

Ah, ok. So I guess they cancelled the freezone idea, considering how incompetent JAFZA is in general.

Are you 100% owner (like in a freezone) or you have a local sponsor?

Yeah, the outside maintenance is still running, without me paying anything. It is just annoying that your own flat could be filled with toilet water and their maintenance still won't touch it, even if you offer to pay for their services.

My maintenance expired in February! Nakheel isn't doing anything, and since then, I've had no maintenance cover either. I have to bring in my own people to fix a/c, plumbing, etc.

My a/c crapped out twice too, outside warranty period. The a/c unit on the roof is the cheapest piece of Made-in-Jordan crap I've ever seen. These cost-cutting losers didn't even give us real branded units.

I just didn't want to be the stereotypical greedy landlord because I know how it hurts actual people. I actually rented out first in April 2007 for 36k, but that previous tenant left after Nakheel took four months to fix a leaky ceiling and still didn't fix it. That tenant stuck around for...

Haven't heard a thing about deeds yet (although paid already),or even about this year's maintenance fees. I've had my place since Feb 2007.

I rented my studio out for 39k in January. I told the tenant of the laws and that I'll follow the laws. My tenant is happy and I have no regrets. I'd rather lead a clean life than screw people over for money.

Yeah, never heard of a 65k apartment except in those premium non-country buildings. Your tenant can take you to the rental committee if you try to kick him out.

Nothing here yet, but good to see some have been contacted.

I got my keys to Persia in Feb '07. No deed yet. Do not believe the agent's guesstimates. There is nothing ever firm with Nakheel. Unfortunately for you, the new rule is you cannot sell your place without a land reg, and funnily enough, we don't have one.

The only issue I had was that there was an amount on my account, and I talked to DEWA personally, shoved from desk to desk over 2 days, and finally a guy just decided to cancel it on his computer. I told them the meters were not even installed in the dates when I got the bill, even though I...
