I find it amusing how the comment by saraha above who is obviously linked in some manner to FirstQatar or other developer relies on the fact these are economic tough times for the developers. At the beginning of the summer there were other Pearl project developer managers who were quoted "unprecendented demand", "strong interest". Made you think times have never been better on the Pearl.
I knew then and posted here what liars they were.
I wish I saved those articles in the Gulf Times.
Yes when the developers want to sell, we the customer have to face 'high and unprecedented demand' which provides them an avenue for charging ever increasing prices. When they want to play the 'economic tough times' card, all of a sudden we are asked to come up with extra money and accept it. What a farce. Dont even think about giving in to these con artists whose only expertise is taking people for a a ride. You will be played like a fine violin. You will never get a straight answer. Never and never were any sales figures given to support the 'unprecedented demand'. I trust all, wether or not you have actually purchased on the Pearl, have learned a lesson in all this in that the assumption these property people will act with the integrity and trust considered the norm can be thrown away in the rubbish. You have to obtain in writing what needs to be backed up in a court of law. No exceptions.
