ok..

we have found a house that we like, with a lovely double garage, which will house one of our cars and be my bike store/triathlon/spinner stowage.


only issue is that the garage which is fully walled on 3 sides has no front door. So we are looking to get quotes to install a garage door and appropriate A/C

Anyone know of any vendors that install these garage doors. The house is in the Ranches, but i guess its the same style of doors as you see dotted around the meadows

cheers for the help

Good luck. Most likely it is probably not allowed. Emaar community rules.

commander

loads of them in the same street have these, so id be surprised if there was an issue?

Millhouse

I'm sure I read (or was told) that you need permission from Emaar first which could be painful. I looked into it (a little) when we were viewing Saheels and I was told that not all were allowed a garage door.

commander

Interesting, cheers. It is for Saheel also. We are meeting the LL tomorrow.

My old director lived in Saheel. He said the villas with garage doors were villas lived in by the owners. Those without doors were rented.

commander

Cheers, well let's see what the LL says today. Nothing like a stupid rule to screw things up.

We won't take the house otherwise.

you definately need to get planning permission which is costly and timely and there is no guarantee they will say yes.

commander

we met the Landlord today, submitted to him the quotes and work starts tomorrow..

He has 10 properties in AR. some have garage doors and some do not.

He didnt seem to think that it will be any issue what so ever. Its his money so i doubt he would start the work without ensuring it is all above board.

Its all good.

Blue Cat

hope it all goes through! well done

commander

cheers, its just what we were looking for.

With the A/C garage it basically gives me another room as right now i have the maids room for my bikes and other sports gear. Ill even set up my turbo trainer in there for the summer.

anyway, its not signed sealed or delivered yet and ive been in the area long enough to know not to take anything for granted....

Blue Cat

if it's meant to be it will happen, big believer in fate I am, you will love it up there, most of my pals are on the Ranches and they are more than happy with the set up. Just a shame you can't get a school place

Millhouse

Saheel or Miradoor?

Will you be keeping the cars in the AC'd garage too?

commander

saheel.

My wife's motor will be in the garage (we own it). My works 4x4 will suffer out on the street.

Millhouse

Nice. I quite liked the Saheels. 3 bed or 5?
