i have bought a small apartment in nuaimiya towers and its spacious but not properly finished.This developer is goldcrest. I personally do not like them as they are not
professional for me like Emaar or Nakheel. Ajman is not so cosmopolitan. There are mostly south Asians. It is more family orientated town. Shopping is cheaper in malls like LULU. I still have to explore others. However, the porters do not speak English. The sewage gets collected daily from under the towers and there are mosquitos. I already have leaks in my flats. The properties are much cheaper but the quality is sub standard inside. I do not like this developer as they use the words like 'quality, gold seal, trust and etc.' but they are not of this standard when I saw my flat. Yes, the tiles are high quality but the bath and sink do not match and are odd sizes and not fitted properly. Then the quality of the kitchen is flimsy and not entirely practical.
If you are thinking of buying a shell then Ajman is good but you need to spend a lot of money afterwards doing it up the way you want it. It's almost like buying a property in auction but you don't know what to expect inside. Then there are no solid laws of compensation. You could waste hours on the phone complaining. The developer is not interested in doing anything major, they told me that. So you would have to rip the bathroom and kitchen to do your own LG style kitchen and be satisfied in the long-term. I know the developer has comprised in the bathroom and kitchen. In my opinion a new apartment should be 5 star quality. With this developer I would give one star and not a gold one as they claim in their advertising. They admit that these flats are worth the money you are paying. I would agree that you are getting the space as the same in Dubai would be twice the money.
Think of the space and location is good with empty beaches and sharjah is so near. Restaurants are rubbish in Ajman. But more family orientated. |
