This is nothing more than a con by First Qatar to rip off their customers at the end of the deal. You can see by the ever increasing amount of customers coming onto this forum with the same complaint that no one was told about these fees, nor can anyone read in their contract where it says we need to pay them, or need to pay them to FQ in advance. It is a blatant con and I feel like I've been robbed by FQ and then extorted by them.
Their extortion tactics by threatening legal action include - (all verbally - of course nothing by them is in writing):
1. If you do not pay the fees we will take your apartment away & take your deposit
2. If you do not pay we will do the above and sue you for compensation when we sell the apartment at a loss.
3. Threatening to take the money from the bank on Nov. 1, even if the apartment is not yet ready.
4. If you attempt to get out of the contract by following the get-out clauses that allow you to do so and get back your deposit they will sue you and do all of the above.
It was happening before in Dubai before the government put an end to these type of shonky development deals through RERA in order to protect the industry's reputation.
Does anyone know anyone in the media in Qatar? I think we should invite them to a group meeting of First Qatar Investors so they can get the picture of what is going on. This blatent rip-off needs to be exposed - It is bad for the Pearl's image, it will tarnish the country's real estate industry as a whole and it is bad for FQ current, and future, investors. Developers like First Qatar should not be allowed to get away with this.
