Some concerns regarding Barclays & their admin standards. Do you know if the rate they are offereing etc is competitive?
No i dont - but have a few weeks to look at the other banks and what they can offer.

I'd also caution you about buyng a place as soon as you set foot in Dubai. How do you know if you will like it and want to stay? I'd get a feel for the place before committing yourself. The property market here is not always what you may have heard. (see property threads passim)
sound advice - I've visited dubai 4 times in the last 2 years - last there in Nov 07. I see myself in middle east for at least 2 yrs and poss upto 4 years and am not keen on paying approx £50/80k in rent over this period so might as well take the risk of buying - but all in the hands of the banks and how much they will pass into my begging hands !!

In that case you should probably talk to a good IFA who also does mortgages, shouldn't you?

Offering to help I think you'll find - and rather more ethical than your 'offers' to help young ladies!!

Feel free to PM me. I may respond...
