I wouldn't say it is bitchy, it is straight talking and alot of people don't like that. Stick with it I am sure you will get to the point where you enjoy it as much as I do. I have the good fortune to know alot of the regular posters in the real world which makes a massive difference. You see Commander is Ginger ....

All the Lakes properties are Arabtec finished however only certain properties on the Springs were afforded the professionalism of Arabtec and were subjected to shoddy door fittings and kitchens etc. Emaar built the lakes to rent, and remember then they were are the back end of nowhere so they had to have something 'special' to rent them!

But you have missed the point completely - only moving to Springs out of pure convenience. I did look at some villas on the Lakes but frankly (and I only speak about the ones I looked at) I didn't like the configuration and the spec felt tired. It is a lovely setting though and feels mature. Maybe once my wife is comfortable with Dubai (she hasn't arrived yet) we will consider another location which will offer us more but for now Springs is perfectly suitable. Hope that's OK.

it all depends on the villa tbh. I have done interior fit outs in lakes, meadows, springs, emirates hills and the palm. worst places for shoddy workmanship was on the palm! not the springs. never had a problem with any springs villa I ever rented. any meadows villa I have been in had really old and tired kitchens and bathrooms

Sorry for mild hijack, but could you briefly list which mid-market developments / developers tend to have better-quality workmanship?
