You not the only one who had lost money from Select Properties (UK) and Select Group.
This month alone, I had received another two emails from new people claiming the same as you. The total number of people unhappy with Select is staggering!

True Blue · March 30th, 2012, 01:42 PM

The number of people who are happy with Select is quite staggering also, I believe it was as high as 3 at last count!!

jeetha · March 30th, 2012, 02:20 PM

No! it's 2 only.

Select Steve.... doesn't count, he is an employee/shareholder.

No, make that 4, I am happy enough, numerous phone calls from agents asking if I am renting or selling, as the Torch (sorry this is the Select thread) is very popular, I got 95.000 last year, I am now told I could get 115.000 this year.

Are you able to increase your rent by such an amount or is there a law that caps the rental increase each year - we are new to this game so any information on this would be appreciated!!

agod · March 31st, 2012, 12:45 AM

I think IMRE posted the rules somewhere, I think it is when a Tenant renews, if its a new Tenant perhaps the rule doesnt apply.

Thanks - that could well be the case and sounds reasonable ( although i would obviously like to increase our rental income from 90,000 a year!!)

If its a new tenant you can increase anything , for the renewal the latest rules:

If the rent was 36 per cent to 45 per cent less than the average rent for a similar property, the maximum increase shall be equivalent to 10 per cent of rent value.

Al, that's all conjecture and Agent talk! If you get 115k then all well and good however if your tenant leaves at 95k then that tells it's own story IMO.

How many apartments like yours will be coming on the market at the same time?

Nice to hear some positivity for a change around here.

True Blue · April 1st, 2012, 03:31 PM

None of that is down to Select though, it is the building management that they are referring to!!!!

You like to complain about me and others doing exactly what you do yourself without shame

This is the SELECT BASHING THREAD so stick to the subject matter

www.selectdubaibeware.com has been updated e.g. the Rahail Aslam profile.

Apart from that and not relating to 'Select' in any particular location -

There is so much yet to be divulged in the public interest, and it will be, for all those who have invested with Select and those who plan to etc.

The publishers of the site have spoken with a high profile lawyer who 'apparently' has no affiliations with Select, and based on some 'strong' 'evidence' indicated that despite that evidence which he felt was not 'evidence' and that they were fine, but when the word 'publicity' was mentioned he said, not just once, but twice "you will receive a death threat"

It seems that our Rahail's been a busy boy. Keep up the good work.

You cannot increase the rent for a new tenant, certainly not on the first renewal.

From the Torch thread

We found this really useful, thanks:

http://www.selectdubaibeware.com/Sel...ales_Agent.pdf

It shows how for over 2 years Mark Stott's company appeared in the newspapers, including the financial times, as a developer, then:

in March 2008 Select Property
took the landmark decision
to move into overseas
property development

What we don't understand is the reservation form that people signed. It made no mention of the developer, and in the case where it said 'agent', which was the only time we ever saw that term used, we, presumably like other people thought that it referred to the sales agent for commission, e.g. Adam Price, and wrote the name beside it so that he could get his commission - we think he even asked us to do that - not sure.

If you feel you have been defrauded, and maybe you have already contacted the serious fraud office - then do it again!!!! now!!!

Case -NOT OVER- period.

Any case of criminally masterminded fraud casting people into a fifteen year deal whereby they might feel 'blackmailed' or otherwise into continuing payments for fear of losing everything must be reported to the police and the SFO - such people might be subject to e.g. a developer massively delaying construction and using funds to start new projects whilst looking forward to people suffering financial hardship so that they could simply keep all money paid to date, plus their apartment, with no real legal recourse - e.g. the system in Dubai seems to favour the developer and to continue paying 'installments' and in addition paying legal fees in a system which ultimately favours the developer , and where cases continue not for months but years...sigh - who said 'scam'?
