Speaking to quite a few people, I feel I somehow inadvertently got a really good deal.

It very much depends on who you deal with, what agent, many say they will get you the best deals, but they are shite or show you sommat completely different to what you asked for.

I was shown the house next door to mine, which is exactly the same, I mean even the garden, lake view etc, etc and it still stands empty at Dhs170!!! They did reduce it to Dhs160 for us bless, so we went next door and got that one for Dhs135 with garden thrown in.

I like a bargain myself...............but I keep looking for cracks everywhere, like it is gonna fall down any minute and we have been rented a heap of shite

Looks like you did. Wonder how much your rent will rise next year, though?


If we'd held off and taken our time, we could probably have found something similar for less, but we just wanted to get out of the hotel ASAP. There are few things more depressing than living in a hotel
