Re: Renting Property
Utility costs in our 3-bed villa have been about 1300 per month in summer and about 500-600 per month in winter. Up until last month there were only the the two of us, so we've only been cooling one bedroom in summer... we'll be cooling the sprog's room from this summer onwards 
Something to bear in mind when comparing costs is the municipality fee - think of it a bit like the council tax in the UK. It's levied at 5% of your annual rent, divided into 12 instalments and added to your water/electricity bill each month. They're going to get everyone in the end, but at the moment lots of people who have been living in the same place for a few years aren't being charged yet, so they're still enjoying very low utility costs (300 dhs and the like). Most new arrivals are getting hit straight away.

Moving to abu dhabi soon. What does utilities include? Is it gas, electric and water? Or does it include something else aswell? Are you charged separatly for each bill? What about air conditioning, is this a seperate bill or is it in with electric? Are apartments and villas air conditioned in whole apartment/villa? We want a villa, possibly with pool or pool share, 3 beds maybe 4. Thanku

Hi there all.
Am a new member to the forum. Am currently considering positions to come and join you all out in Dubai, and cannot wait.
Unfortunately, not knowing where I am going to be based yet, but was hoping people might be able to send me links to some leasing agents in Dubai so that I can start my homework early, emailing site links would be appreciated, have looked at some (Landmark, DB Homes).
Next will be looking at schools as am bringing my wife and children with me.
Any other additional advice that you could possibly give would be most welcome.
Many thanks
Justin
