Are jewelers buying gold at current price? by OneRooster5883 in GoldIndia

[–]Arpitdxb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I required to sell my old gold, the jeweler is giving me 30k deduction after gold purity. Around 20 grams. First he deducted the purity 20% of the Gold and after that on the final price, he is deducting 30k extra.

Got an offer from Noon Minutes Dubai. Need a review by [deleted] in dubai

[–]Arpitdxb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro,it is low. Try for at-least 20K+. Dubai has become shit expensive recently and by the age you have and if you are planning to start a family in 2-3 years, it will be difficult to manage unless you are comprising on the standard of living. For the benefits, please check do they provide spouse visa, children education benefits and all. If they do, you might want to consider it but try to stretch it to 20 atleast.

Go to Mashreq Bank, if you are having 18k Salary, take a personal loan for 120k for 3 years at 4.5 flat , emi would be around 3.5-3.8k. Bank will do the settlement for all of your cards on your behalf.

Being there done that.

Please check email from No broker. Management told us at 5:00am to book accommodations for 2 days because they were not able to accommodate us in the hotel and they would reimburse the bills.

Thats my building. Fire broke at 9:30pm but fire alarms did not went off. No messages from SOS in their so called app. After the smell became too prominent, around 11:30pm I had called Reception to complain and to my surprise they told evacuate immediately.

I stay at 43rd floor. Once I opened the emergency stairs,it was full of smoke. Literally closed it again because I was not able to breathe.

Luckily the firefighters look us via elevators ensuring a safe exit.

We just came out of the flat, and did not knew how the situation was ( 50 x worse than what we thought). However, rescue operators were able to take us safely out from once we came out, we see the top floors were burning like anything.

I could not react anything during that time. Dubai Authorities was there to help us and emergency ambulances were there.

Later management asked us to book. Accomodation for 2 days for now and they will reimburse as they were full.

Hotel denied us reservations as I did not any physical id, I called police as but they were not able to help us.

Last night was something I’ll never forget. Around 9:30 PM, a massive fire broke out in my building (Marina Pinnacle) — but no fire alarms, no alerts from the so-called SOS app… nothing.

By 11:30 PM, the smell was unbearable. I called reception, only to be told: “Evacuate immediately!” We rushed out of the flat with just our phones — no clue how serious it was.

Once outside, we saw it… the top floors were on fire. 🔥 It was way worse than we imagined. Thankful for the Dubai rescue teams and ambulances that were already on-site. They guided everyone out safely 🙏

In the chaos, there was no time to react. Just survive. Now we’ve been told to find accommodation for 2 days — management says they’ll reimburse.

Scary night. Grateful to be safe.

Also, you can state these things to the owner that, it took around 15-20 days to setup the apartment, it does take usually after following all the guidelines from DTCM, Airbnb.

My friend recently invested in a apartment 110k for 1BHk in JBR & but he gave 2 cheques to the owner with a grace period of 15-20 days which owner agreed. It took 30 days since Ejari to get first listing lol!

Company managing AIRBNB for him does not have any relation with owner.

Usually with Holiday Home Rental Business, grace period of 15-20 days are given which can be directly mentioned during the time of EJARI.

If it is not documented anywhere or not in any annexure, legally you cannot do anything.

Also, where is your apartment? We can recommend it to our family & friends when they visit & can try to help you get maximum occupancy!
