Hi Aboucayenne,

I missed your post, i assume you bought with UDC?
I spoke to their sales people today and they confirmed that they would be charging QAR 15000 for a 2 bedroom.

However, your argument that it is because they included the connection fees in the price of their apartments cannot be true as the other developers have informed me that they were apparently notified of the charges only 2 months ago as the connection charges were apparently only finalized 2 months ago.

It is more likely that your charges are less in the UDC tower because UDC owns a controlling stake in Qatar Cool.

Also with regards to the pricing, when i bought, UDC and The Land pricing was almost exactly the same at around 16500/sqm.

Lastly, it is great to see someone positive about the project but i do not think it is going to work once these excessive charges are known to potential buyers.

Now the developer that i have bought from is quoting me between 500 to 600 riyals per sqm for all connection fees, not just QatarCool but Kahramaa as well...this equates to nearly Qar150 000.00 for my place.

Time will tell what it all means...
