6 important steps for home buyers in Abu Dhabi, from What's On's readers
Jump on that bandwagon… 3 of 12 Look for available rental units on websites such as propertyfinder. ae, or A studio apartment could run you upwards of Dhs50,000 per year, while a 2-bedroom unit begins at about Dhs80,000. Obviously, this varies depending on which side of town you’re considering. Housing listings include agency and real estate agent information. Request a callback via Whatsapp and schedule a showing. When you’ve found the right apartment, you will need a credit check, proof of employment, ID, income statement, and other major documents to reserve your unit. Use your negotiation skills when liaising with the owner via your real estate agent. You will typically need to put down 5 per cent of the annual rental figure as your agent fee and another 5 per cent to confirm your interest. You can pay in quarterly, semiannual, and annual postdated cheques. In some parts, you could be lucky enough to find yourself a monthly payment deal. If you’re able to fork out a year’s payment upfront, however, you’ll usually get a few thousand Dirhams off the list price. When you’re ready to get power and water, you’ll need to get a connection in your name with TAQA (formerly ADDC). Charges include a Dhs1,000 deposit and chilled water deposit. For handyman services, speak with the property owner and property management company. Some properties have a tie-up with companies. When you’re registered, TAQA will set up your water and electricity accounts on Tawteeq. Finally, when you have it all taken care of, make sure you have a document called the Move-in Permit. Without this, the building staff won’t be legally allowed to let you move in with your furniture. Buying a property is a huge step in anyone's life. Whether you're looking to buy a home to live in or as an investment, here are 6 simple things for new home buyers to remember, as sent in by our readers. Obvious? Maybe. Helpful?

Father-of-three charged over Liverpool parade crash
A father-of-three and former Royal Marine has been charged following the Liverpool parade crash in which 79 people were injured. Paul Doyle, 53, from Burghill Road in West Derby, was arrested on Monday, when a car ploughed into fans attending Liverpool's Premier League victory celebration, Merseyside Police confirmed. A nine-year-old was among those injured when the car Mr Doyle is alleged to have been driving crashed into supporters at 18:00 BST on Water Street. The local businessman faces multiple counts of causing, and attempting to cause unlawful and malicious grievous bodily harm with intent as well as one of dangerous driving and two counts of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent. Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims, of Merseyside Police, told a news conference seven people remain in hospital after the incident. Mr Doyle is set to appear at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Friday. The BBC has spoken to the suspect's neighbours, who said they were shocked and in "disbelief". They said that Burghill Road was swarming with police in the hours after the crash. One said: "I came out late on Monday night and there's police everywhere. Looking around all the houses, so I had a thought - imagine if it was him?" Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims said detectives were reviewing a "huge volume" of CCTV and mobile phone footage. Sarah Hammond, Chief Crown Prosecutor for Crown Prosecution Service in the Mersey-Cheshire region, said this included footage from CCTV, mobile phones, businesses and dashcams, along with witness statements. She said the charges "will be kept under review" while the investigation progresses. "It is important to ensure every victim gets the justice they deserve," she added. Mr Doyle has been charged with seven offences, which can be broken down into four groups. The first includes two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH) – one of these is an alleged offence against one child. The second is two counts of causing unlawful and malicious GBH with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. According to the Sentencing Council, it relates to the nature of the injury allegedly caused. GBH does not require an open wound to have been suffered. Wounding requires the victim's skin to have been broken. Mr Doyle also faces two charges of attempted unlawful and malicious GBH with intent to cause GBH, and again one of these alleged offences relates to a child. The final count is dangerous driving. Police confirmed the ages of those injured in the incident ranged from nine to 78. Assistant Chief Constable Sims, said she understood many have questions about the incident, and detectives were "working tirelessly, with diligence and professionalism, to seek the answer to all of those questions". "When we are able to, we will provide further information," she added. Listen to the best of BBC Radio Merseyside on Sounds and follow BBC Merseyside on Facebook, X, and Instagram.

Engineer working for defence firm honeytrapped, held for passing sensitive info to Pak operative
THE MAHARASHTRA Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Thursday arrested a 27-year-old engineer from Thane for allegedly passing on sensitive documents related to the Indian Naval dockyard to a Pakistan Intelligence Operative (PIO) through social media. An official said it was a case of honeytrap where the accused, identified as Ravi Verma who was working with a private defence technology company, was contacted by a woman on social media, who eventually lured him into handing over sensitive documents of the naval dockyard that he had access to. An official said based on their investigation, Verma, who was working for the Navi Mumbai-based defence company, was contacted by a PIO on Facebook through a woman's profile. The woman spoke to him via social media and later exchanged phone numbers. The accused then passed on some documents that he had access to the PIO through Whatsapp. 'From Mid November 2024 to March 2025, the accused sent various documents of restricted areas in the Indian Navy dockyard that he had access to through the company where he was working,' the official added. 'The Thane ATS had him on their radar for some time and eventually we called him for questioning earlier this week. Based on his interrogation and technical proofs we got from his mobile phone, he was placed under arrest,' the official added The accused was produced before a court and sent to police custody till June 2. Police are on the lookout for two others who have been named as accused in the matter.
