Do you have any idea of the cost of one studio at the JVC?, and how is the developer of the dessert rose resident, is he reliable?.
Kelly,
I have responded to your post in the Desert Rose thread.
Anyway, just to answer your questions here, I guess being an investor and having purchased studio in Desert Rose, I'd be the best one to tell you about the developer!
From my communications with them and research, Desert Homes FZCO are the developer of the Desert Rose development. They are escrow compliant (see No 200 in listing). They also have a good track record of delivering a project as they were developers of Marina View Towers in Dubai Marina, which incidentally, is nearly complete, so that reduces the chances of them being an unreliable developer in that sense.
I have found them to be happy to answer my phone calls from the UK, although like all developers, communications skills aren't their best skill! With regards to sending out receipts for installment/payments, they were very prompt.
In general, Desert Homes appear to be reliable, but that's from my experiences with them.
My mail on the other thread has some other information that may be of use to you.
