Whats difference between Furnished and semi furnished flat
Friends,
I will be coming to Qatar in 2 weeks time to work there. I was just going through classifieds for renting flat as i will need flat ASAP once i come to Doha.
I can see there are two type of flat available a] Fully Furnished & b] Semi Furnished. What's the difference. What are the things one will get under each catagory.
Semi Furnished is only the white goods (AC, Fridge, oven, dishwasher and washing machine) and you have to get everything else.
With fully furnished, each tower is different; some of them will be fully kitted out, where you just bring your clothes, while others have most of the furniture but will require the bed linens and kitchen crockery and few bits and pieces.
And as someone mentioned, you'll find cheaper deals here than what's advertised online, as there is a low demand on accommodation compared to availabilities.
Generally, you can turn around a tenancy agreement here within a week, so won't take long once you find a place that suits.
I've also been advised not to enter into any agreement for accommodation prior to arriving in Doha. The 'internet' prices are higher than actual ground level prices, so once you get there, you would probably find something cheaper than they are advertised for online.
Not quite sure, I've also been looking at internet ads. My guess is that Semi Furnished ( SF ) is only the kitchen goods, i.e oven, fridge, washing machine, microwave and maybe dishwasher.
Fully Furnished ( FF ) is - I think - the whole apartment kitted out, tv , sofa. beds etc. THis would still not include the remaining kitchen items though ( crockery/cultery etc ) or the bedding ( quilt, pillows etc ) or towels, so I think you would still have to either buy it all, or bring it with you!
Needless to day , Unfurnished means there is nothing in there, but four walls and a door.
Good Luck.
Fully Furnished accommodation is where you get all the furniture, electronics etc required for the home. You just need to get your clothes.
Semi Furnished accommodations mostly have only AC's in the house. Some houses may have wardrobes.
