Renting unfurnished properties

[dipsy]

Hi everyone.

We are still in London and looking on websites to rent a house in Dubai for late April (If anyone has a villa available in The Springs, Meadows or Arabian Ranches would be interested to hear from them).

When it says 'unfurnished properties' does this mean that even the larger white goods such as the cooker, fridge and washing machine are not included?

Also, will my UK tv work there?

Thanks a lot!

Unfurnished (generally) means the villa does not come with oven/stove, any whitegoods, window or floor coverings, and yes, your TV will work will work here.

You're welcome.

Dipsy,

Are you looking at short term or like a year contract?

Dipsy, the websites aren't up to date, so you're kind of wasting your time there apart from the sites giving you an indication of price.

You're better off ringing a real estate agent and they will let you know exactly what's available, and how the market is looking.

PM me if you want a referral on a good agent for the areas you mentioned.

How much do you want to pay for the year?

Which area would you most be interested in?

If anyone has a realtor recommendation I would greatly appreciate it!

Moving to Dubai in the beginning of March and have started looking in Old Town, Residences, etc. as well as the Marina. I think that Old Town and that area will be better as I will be working in Deira (Al Ghurair City Center) and the commute will be shorter!

Looking for a 1 plus study or 2 bed. From what I can tell, I should be able to get either easily for under 150 . . . So, any realtor recs, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!
