We have just arrived and i would like to start house hunting, how does it work here? We have come over from the UAE.

My questions are

Do all letting agents charge the tenant a fee or this this paid by the landlord.

If tenant pays how much is it?

Can I hope to find a place that includes water, cooling, electricity, tv, internet?

Are there any serviced apartments here?

Can contracts have a break clause?

Is maintenance an issue?

My husband is working on the Hamad Hospital redevelopment, we want to live near there, he needs an easy commute after doing Abu Dhabi to Dubai everyday for 4 years! Where would be good?

Our budget (maximum) is 10000 what can we hope to find for that?

Or we better looking for unfurnished or fully furnished?

Any good letting agent out there if so I need contact details please

Thank you!!
