Semi New

Qatar real estate has recently been flooded with "semi-new" apartments / villas. What exactly is "semi-new". Is it an old villa with a new wing / addition? Or is it supposed to mean "almost new"?

Waiting for QL'rs to investigate this new exclusive semi-new phenomenon and to report back here.

These guys in the USA are selling old computers with new parts. Makes sense.

But what exactly are Doha agents up to with semi-new properties.

probably means you would be second tenant. Although anything in Doha should be classed as Semi New, cos even new the build is so bad it has to almost rebuilt before you can move in.
