Thanks very much to all, very usefull information.

I think West Bay is a little out of my Budget. Will have a Budget of 15000QAR. Hoping to pay between 12000 - 1300 and keep the rest for bills.

Will start looking in Duhail and Gharaffa.

To get a compound villa do you have to go through estate agents, or can you deal direct with the compound ?
I guess you would actually have to be IN Doha to deal with the compounds ?
