let's hope this is true, I was speaking to a friend last night who has a friend who is busy looking for villa accomodation on the Springs, her agent initially had a few to view but told her yesterday everything had gone, the JLT fire has caused an increase in villa rentals so I am guessing Kix is infact right about the increase in rental prices.
Yup. I think at least for the short term, you're going to see high rise prices hit, with villa and low rise prices going through the roof.

Mmmmmm? The agent of a friend, of a friend? - And a 73% rise in Villa Rentals since the fire? If you believe that 'You'll stand for egg under't cap!' Not the sort of news that should be promoted here! - For obvious reasons!

I was taking the piss on the increase, but I'm sure greedy landlords are using the fire as an excuse to add a further 10% or more onto their pre-fire prices.

Or it could be spun by Dubai inc into "Villa prices showed a 35% increase in the last month, a sure sign that Dubai is back".

As far as I am concerned, it was 'Stupid' to even have mentioned it! - BE Posts can be 'Googled!' - Dubai Landlords are more than likely 'Rubbing Their Hands' with glee, after that last misguided remark!

Thank you so much indeed, as I am about to negotiate next yesr's rent!

I'm not sure that springs story is true, there have been loads of ads on Dubizzle for villas for weeks but the talk on EW is that when you call they don't have them nor ever did, interestingly the 2 apts I am looking at today have come down over the last few weeks and pre fire:

3 Bed Bay central 40th floor, was 140k now 125k
2 bed laguna tower, was 130k now 115k, 3 bed was 150k now 140k

So who knows whats really going on

What is the colour of the sky on your planet? - Of course some of them do, and then spread it around on the 'Majlis Circuit!' - How long have you been here? (And do not use WTF to me in the future!)

I was not suggesting that for one moment! However, 'Idle Chatter' where Posts can be 'Googled' is not good practice!

Walls have ears? Loose lips sink ships? I think I've heard that stuff somewhere LLs don't need us discussing things for them to stick their snouts in the trough.
