well, rumors are rumors.

No one is going to let the investment that has been made here go down the drain. It's not a question of anyone letting it down or not, it's a very simple rule of the market, supply/demand, which no one can "keep up" artificially by "not letting it down". One thing I agree though...

Hello everyone I'm hoping you can help me with some research I'm doing into the expat market in the Middle East. I'm most interested to hear about expats experiences of living and working in Dubai, particulary in the current economic climate. I was wondering if this is something any of the members ...

Have a nice long weekend everyone!

I can't believe it. A friend wants to move from JBR one bedroom to Springs two bedroom and will actually save money! One year ago that would have never happened. One year ago two bedroom in the Springs was double the price of a one bedroom in JBR. How times are changing . Yes, but the year before l...

sweet mary wrote:-electronics are cheaper (u can get the latest and biggest wide screen for your home )

Actually, I found this not to be true. Been to Germany last December and electro, computers, wide screen tv etc. etc. were way cheaper.

Also, Duty Free Electro is not cheaper as in many countries in EU.

Pound is still 40% below from peek. Villa prices seem to have stop falling, but I'm expecting another downward wave in somewhere between april and july. Villa prices stopped falling, doesn't look like it from where I stand. That's right, a 2BR independent Villa in JVT starting from 1.4 mill and hav...

Eventually my mortgage would would be higher than the value of the property. It's not necessarily a problem when you have a mortgage on minus equity, is it funny or does it feel good, no. If you buy a house to live in, which should be the whole purpose (for flipping go to the stockmarket) it doesn'...

I called couple of people: some were polite and said they will think about about; some hung up phone; some were simply rude, and one guy started cursing. Here is how one conversation went: Me: Hello, you advertised for PJA GH 4-bed villa. Seller: Yea. Me: I'll buy it @ -25% on OP. Seller: Are you t...

Robby, not sure if you were talking to me or VW earlier. My experience of bad build quality came from a Springs villa. We were the first occupants. When drilling holes for the curtain rods we found large air pockets in the concrete, because the drill just sank into the wall. I had to fill in order ...

How do you get the deposit back (5k AED) when the landlord tells you flatout and directly into your face that this money is gone with the Estate Agent who made a runner (Opera) and that this is not his responsibility? - Can't go to RERA, since Estate Agent is gone already - Do I go to the Police? - ...

How about going after the receipts from the real estate company, because they must have turned the 5,000 deposit over to the landlord, so they should have one. (Hopefully the agent didn't do a runner with all of his/her records.) That would prove to police that the landlord received the money from ...

Ahh You see thats where your wrong my friend,unlike the Bible the Quran does not have versions ! There is no douay rheims, King James, RSV etc etc What you read ( I assume ) are translations into English or whatever language by the author. The Orginal Quran is in Arabic and that remains unchanged. ...

well, it's going really nicely at the moment ;-) I'm moving out of a 2BR Springs to a lovely 3M next week, 30 seconds walk to park & pool (great for the kid), and together with the upgrade I save myself a whopping 45k pa. (plus I can pay in 2 cheques now & the landlord payed 50/50 agent fee,...

B eover 21 yeah hahahaha :s i'm 22 so i don't think thats a problem but thats not the point just wanted to know the prices there for entre and drinks and all well, it really depends on yourself.

thanks ! thats quiet allot yeah, and if you could chose what would you want there to make the night events in the weekends more exiting?

I found a good deal on a pool table, but of cause you miss out on the service of home delivery and setup when buying second hand.

Did anyone bought a second hand pool table and whom did you engage to get it transported and what are the likely costs of this?

Many thanks for any suggestions ...

Dubai driving license road tests are the stupiest I have ever seen. First of all, passing is based on skin color, yet again, thats number 1 deciding factor who will pass and who not. Secondly, the car get's packed with people on the road test day, everyone has a chance to show off for only 2 minutes...

Speedhump, thanks for your reply, a nice list of movers which can come in handy indeed. Thing is, you don't only want a mover, but also some guys who know how to take apart a pool table, move it and install it again. To my luck this week, the guy selling me the table gave me the number of the guys w...

If a cab driver did that too me, like you described it, I would wholeheartedly ask him to do what I, the client, expect him to do since I pay for it. If he doesn't do that, I file a complaint at his company with the proper angry tone, since this is really unacceptable. They would surely lose me as ...

About Taxi drivers, one story experienced still stuck very close or deep to me. I try to make this as short as possible. I arrive at DXB airport at 11 pm, q'ing the long q at Terminal 1 (yes, it was last year). I finally got green sign from the supervisor to move on to a taxi and started to move my ...

When will you finally stop telling me that I don't live in Dubai like that. I have a very broad knowledge of my world where I live in, and the bureacracy is a hell in every country. Dubai is no different than that. Maybe ten times slower than in Holland, but then you haven't been to India yet. What...
