The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

Hi. I used to live in the Lakes about 8 years ago and now I'm moving back to DXB from Europe and would like to return there.

I had heard that now all properties are owned rather than rented from EMAAR. The agents are advertising 3 beds (ie: Zulal) at around 140k per year. What is the real price there for a 3 bed and can private deals be done without the leeches?

Advice from anyone living there would be much appreciated (maybe we already know each other) ;)

So is that Chelsea, Everton, Man City, Birmingham City (or whoever) blue?

In fact it's Ipswich Town. But living in Austria means getting to see about one game a year :(

Re: The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

That's not such a bad thing especially with that nutbag Keane in charge...!

Re: The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

Careful now I'm a big fan, he's working wonders at our club now that he's got rid of all the loafers and freeloaders.

Re: The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

I was a big fan when he was at Sunderland for a while , the trouble with Keano is that when it doesn't go his way he spits the dummy out.

He will get you promoted though but im afraid that's his limit . He has got the potential but the non-return valve between his brain and gob doesn't work very well.
He definitely brings something to the club though.

Oh dear lord! That'll make 2 Ipswich Town fans in Dubai - Mr Kitty will be pleased!

Just bumping this thread in case anyone can offer any advice with the original question about rental prices for 3 bds in the Lakes and the possibility of doing private deals.

Re: The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

8 years ago? goodness time flies. Private deals can be had but you need to be here. I see them on the notice board at Choithrams on the Lakes.

Many thanks Blue Cat. That was what I was hoping to hear. Can you give me any indication of the rental amounts for 3 beds in these private deals. I am trying to get an idea of what I should expect to pay and I am guessing that the agent advertised deals of around 140k are above the norm for private deals.

Re: The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

about 170 ish seems to be the normal, I checked on dubizzle

Re: The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

Ok thanks. I wonder why Lakes townhouses are so much more expensive than Springs. The buildings are the same layout and Springs is now well established too.

Re: The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

the Springs is awful! don't go there, massive highway right through the middle of it. The Lakes was always a better build, though they are getting shabby now

Re: The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

Budget is about 100-110k for 3 bed so Springs looks like best bet. From what I remember there is a highway but plenty of interconnected internal streets for the kids to play on and socialise too. They also have real working neighbourhood pools &c unlike places like Disco Gardens right?

Re: The Lakes Dubai advice.
 

a highway!! a six lane motorway right through it!! it is construction hell. I would go to the Ranches on that budget
