Is the 7 year payment offer still available?

asheeshg
May 17th, 2006, 03:32 PM
Hi Guys,

Im an employee at Better Homes and this is one of the properties on our portfolio.

The 7 year plan which was available on all the 2 and 3 bedroom flats is no longer available due to the fact that we have sold out all 2 and 3 beds. This took us a period of 2 months from when we first announced the payment plan.

All we have left are 1 bedrooms, however there is a possibility of us getting the 7yr plan on the remaining 1 beds. The payment plan is fantastic as you only need to pay 30% before getting possession and then paying the remaining 70% over 5 years interest free.

Below is the payment plan for the 2 and 3 beds that we had. 1 bed payment plan should be the same should we get the approval.

5% on reservation
5% after 4 months of signing the reservation form.
5% after 8 months of signing the reservation form.
5% after 12 months of signing the reservation form.
10% on completion of lakepoint. (End 07).

70% over 5 yrs. (20 payments of 3.5% every 3 months)

for further information, exact availability and prices please get in touch.

Kind Regards,

Hey there,
we have already bought an appartment in 2005 (before construction opening). Until now there is nothing to complain about. For more information send me private mail...

No problem :) We have our appartment on the 12th floor, so this is not quite far away. I`m not sure if there are many 1 beds left. I`ve seen them only on secondary market. Think the people at DRE are ok, we have already had a meeting with them in February. Do you have any problems with them?? I think their main deal is Lakepoint but they also have other offers at "gulfnews". Do you like to tell me where are you from??

thanks it was fun:)

Last few weeks we have a new gossip about the new location of the Al Burj, somewhere near the JLT site and yesterday I found a site with soil testing and small board.
So , this is not 100 % sure but good sign.

You can see the pics in the Al Burj thread.

Coming to Dubai in October and they say access is no problem and can be arranged. Is this likely or will I be given excuses nearer the time?

Access to building is ok. There is a ramp up between N1 and N3. Was told that car park was done, but not entirely sure how that would be accessed and wasn't given the opportunity to check. Have had a request for final payment by end of September :ohno: I am no expert, but, I cannot see how so much work will get done in the next two weeks? Back out mid October.
