Re: Villa needed
I wouldn't say it is bitchy, it is straight talking and alot of people don't like that. Stick with it I am sure you will get to the point where you enjoy it as much as I do. I have the good fortune to know alot of the regular posters in the real world which makes a massive difference. You see Commander is Ginger ....

Re: Villa needed
agree with bc ones built by arabtec are of "better" quality than other builders but that doesnt necessarily compare quality with the "rest of the world", just they are better "here".

Those little Springs houses perfectly suit the type of people who buy new 'Barratt' homes/boxes in the UK.

Re: Villa needed
it is pretty common knowledge that the villas on the Lakes are of superior quality to those on the Springs and the Meadows. The lakes was the first development built and it was Emaars jewel in the crown, which they used to market and sell the Springs. All the Lakes properties are Arabtec finished however only certain properties on the Springs were afforded the professionalism of Arabtec and were subjected to shoddy door fittings and kitchens etc. Emaar built the lakes to rent, and remember then they were are the back end of nowhere so they had to have something 'special' to rent them!
But you have missed the point completely - only moving to Springs out of pure convenience. I did look at some villas on the Lakes but frankly (and I only speak about the ones I looked at) I didn't like the configuration and the spec felt tired. It is a lovely setting though and feels mature. Maybe once my wife is comfortable with Dubai (she hasn't arrived yet) we will consider another location which will offer us more but for now Springs is perfectly suitable. Hope that's OK.

Re: Villa needed
it all depends on the villa tbh. I have done interior fit outs in lakes, meadows, springs, emirates hills and the palm. worst places for shoddy workmanship was on the palm! not the springs. never had a problem with any springs villa I ever rented. any meadows villa I have been in had really old and tired kitchens and bathrooms
