Out property searching today...
 

Not entirely successful...

Criteria is 3 bedrooms, decent amenities and within 6KM of work. I had "favourited" 9 properties on propertyfinder.qa marketed by 8 different agents. I sent inquiries with my telephone number yesterday evening and have heard back from two of them.

Opening question; "what are your requirements Mr James". My response; "to see the property I've enquired about"! Is it really that hard?

So I'm half way through my two days leave and have yet to be shown a property. Fast losing the will - looks like I'll be living in the Hilton for a while longer then!

It might help if you indicate where exactly you are. This Forum covers most of the Middle East.

propertyfinder.qa would suggest that they are in Qatar - as would previous posts in other threads

10/10 for observation; Mentalist gets a 2.

I'll give myself a 3/10 for useful message content. :blink:

Your post could apply to all Countries in the gulf as that's the way most property agencies work - the ones on the website or in newspapers often don't exist but are there to draw clients in. We found accomodation in Doha through an agent that was recommended - no fees and she was a Brit. I'll try and find her details and PM you :)

Fair enough on the .qa on the initial post, but posters cannot expect others to trawl through previous posts to find info.

There is also a much better chance of getting useful responses if the request is very clear and with a clue in the title. Just saying.

I've quickly come to the same conclusion! I'd appreciate your help if you could find that number - speaking to someone with a moderate comprehension of English would be a step in the right direction! 👌

I consider myself more informed about forum etiquette so thank you for that :)

As mentioned previously, 3/10 for useful message content. I'll downgrade that to a 2 in light of the above chastisement :D

Don't be so harsh on yourself. I rated you as a solid 4.

How is the one-eyed trouser snake?

Glad to see it was all taken light heartedly! - As an update (for those remotely interested in the original content) we have arranged some viewings tomorrow at a couple of the residencies in West Bay so hopefully something useful will come from that.
So to one and all; “masā’ al-khayr” (Thanks to Google).
