Hi Friend,

I am plannig to relocate to Dubai, IBM. The office is located in Dubai Internet City. Can you please suggest what would be the nearest best location so that I do not face commuting time while going to office? Also let me know the possible rent/month.

Sounds very much like any expat’s experience you can use relocation consultants. They may make it easier for you. Not free of charge of course.

Dealing with agents in International City is really frustrating. Most of them are lying scum.

I want a few things which don’t seem too unreasonable.

1. I want a contract in English (not Arabic)
2. I want a contract that complies with the rental law in Dubai (for example, a rental agreement can be automatically extended for the second year without any increase in rent. Most rental contracts try to avoid this but it’s not legal.)
3. When I hand over the rental cheques, I want a signed lease in my hands. Some agents just can’t do this and will argue for hours.

So far, I haven’t found an agent who can accomodate all this so I’ve settled for at least having a signed contract in hand before I handed over the rental cheques.

I totally agree with you rgding Crown Relocation’s services. I really do not know how do they hire a relocation consultant these days. One of their consultant (a bored expat housewife who knows nothg but do not want to stay at home alone) irked my off so much that I decided to fire her!

In the end, I found my lovely unit in The Greens by dealing direct with agents (via Property Finder/Dubizzle/Better Homes).

Crown Relocation is really a lousy relocation co which do not provide any good service apart from driving you around for 2 days – showing u lousy units which do not even fit your initial requirements – and then try to force u to take whatever hv been shown. If they cud only use some intelligence and invest some time(to do proper research.

Hi, you mentioned in your post above “Later on I will post more issues that I faced re mobile phone, internet, electricity, air conditioning, furniture, medicine, driving license, etc. It was the Murphy law.”

Please advise when can I get to read it.

I am moving with my wife to Dubai Marina from Mumbai, India in the middle of September and would be glad to get to know you. My office is in Almas Towers, JLT.
