Barclay's Real Estate launches new web site

Barclays Real Estate today announced the launch of its new web site at http://www.barclaysuae.com.


Visitors to the site can search from the hundreds of properties available online, based on their specific area and budget requirements. The web site offers a variety of properties with access to detailed photographs, floor plans, pricing information and property specifications. There is also a unique feature to compare certain selected properties.

The web site also provides information on Property News, Real Estate Guide, Mortgage Calculator and answers to 'Frequently Asked Questions'. New property owners and developers can also get their properties published online through the web site.

'We hope with the new website to reach many overseas investors who are attracted to the United Arab Emirates by soaring economic growth, high oil prices and stability within the region,' said Maksud Ahmad, managing director of Barclays Real Estate.

The site has been designed and promoted by Cyber Gear (www.cyber-gear.com), the leading e-business company based in Dubai.
