Compound villa 3-4 Br for 12K?

By HH

Hi

I'm not in the country yet, so any info is appreciated.
Is it realistic to expect to find a 3-4 BR compound villa (unfurnished is fine) for 12-15K, in a reasonable part of the city?

Cheers

sorry to disappoint, but 18K upward is more realistic. alone-standing villas are more reasonably priced, and unfurnished 3-4 bedroom places range from 11K-16K

Hi HH,

The cost of renting villas is in fact dropping. More good news the rent must be fixed until 2010. I would rely on the adverts in the gulf times and do expect to look at a lot of villas before you choose one. Sometimes you can negotiate on the asking price. The prices vary tremendously. I have a friend who is renting 3 bed unfurnished in a small compound for 15K so they are out there.

Thanks Oryx.

So the ads in the Gulf Times aren't to be trusted then? I've found a fair few compound villas at 14-16K range.

Remember I'm not after a furnished villa.

Cheers

Thanks guys. I'm afraid "roughing it out" is not an option with 3 kiddies :).

Cheers,

Actually its sad, I feel the extreme housing costs here is a rip-off and waste of money. Me myself, I would never opt for the villas no matter how much I was making. But I have the more rough-it camp-out kinda mentality.

To be honest mate no! 3-4 Bedroom Villa's will start from 15-16k a month and upwards. Its abit of a nightmare. They may be some out there but you need to be here and get to them quickly when advertised.

Not alot of help I know but its the reality im afraid. Good luck
