Tricky housing adverts
We are currently looking for a compound villa and have found adverts in the internet and newspaper...however, it is annoying to find out that they advertise "compound villa for rent" but when you go and view them, they are NOT villas in a compound, instead apartments or flats in a compound!...We have just wasted our time and effort! I wonder if this is a trick by real estate agencies..I'm sure a villa means house not a flat!
Yeah and when they write “luxurious” they really mean NOT!
I thought I already told you never to get involved with Indian Housing Agents. They stink like shxt. they are like crocroaches.
MattyHardingLower...you are right...from experience, anything below 14-15QR advertised as a villa for rent, need to think twice or perhaps be more inquisitive and let the real estate agent describe the place before wasting time looking for the place and then ending up being disappointed.
how many times did i waste my time!!! they advertize: 2-br flat for QR5300. I called the guy just find out about this flat, i didn't go to see as i could feel that it's not what i am looking for. Then two days later this guy called me back and asked me if i am interested in the flat. I was surprizedI asked: "you still didn't rent it out?? 2-br for QR5300? people didn't rip you off, fighting for this flat, specially since you describe it a very beuatiful 2-br apt.??" He came up with some stupid story that he is leaving the country, and he wants to get his deposit back, etc... to make a long story short: I waste like about 1,5-2 hours finding the bloody place, then waiting for him, and finally I saw 2 small miserable rooms, empty, badly finished, and small corner which the guy called "kitchen" with no any sign of facilities in... I asked him:"leave all this misery alone... where is the second bedroom?" He said: "THAT'S WHAT WE CALL IN INDIA 2-BEDROOMS"!.. I left at the same moment. I even didn't waste any second more for explanation to this F*** "real estate agent", that he is not in his F*** India, and before doing any business it's not too bad to at least to inquire how does it work in the particular country, and that actaully he is just a liar!...
other experience was similar. The only difference that the guy eve didn't have a car, and i had to pick him up, and he got into my car, and he stunk badly... and then the "independent part of villa" turned to be a miserable stinky hole, and villa to be shared with another 6 families...
...bad bad experience with finding accommodation!!!.. and contrudict to AMNESIA's concept, it's NOT getting any better! Only worse!!!
Anything below QR 14,000 - 15,000 wont be a house/Villa, unless you got here two years ago. It stinks, it sucks and its also been done to death on here.
Good hunting
