Dear All,
I have noticed many rather disgruntled people mentioning their woes on QL about issues they are having on properties they bought on the Pearl. I am currently doing an article for T he Peninsula about these issues (specifically dealing with the huge price hikes that are being expected). However, I really would like to get many people answering some questions directly. If anyone is willing to comment on this issue, please refer to the questions below - i think for the sake of making people feel more comfortable PM me so that you can express more freely. If it's possible for you guys to get any responses back asap, and I am hoping to get this article published quick. For those of you who do not mind having your names attached to comments, please tell me your name, your occupation - as this will give the story all the more credibility and a more personal touch. I am in the process of trying to get hold of the developers for comments on this.
1) Reasons for buying? Which developer are you with?
2) Were all prices discussed, agreed upon and signed beforehand?
3) Did you read through the whole contract before signing?
4) Was there mention there may well be extra costs?
5) How much more is this than one budgeted for?
6) How are you having to reassess things to be able to afford this?
7) Have you managed to talk to the developers?
8) Which developers are major problems?
Many thanks guys for your help. I hope that the issue of this not having been in the english language press is rectified in due course!
