I have been researching cost of renting a villa in Qatar, 3 bed minimum family villas in compound must be family friendly & western friendly & it seems that I will need at least QR 20,000 per month for rental; I need assistance; is this correct.

I need to know ASAP so I can contact my company to get the housing allowance adjusted, as at the moment they are only offering 14,500 per month housing.

Also can anyone help with how easily available British schooling is & how much it will cost per year for a 4 year old girl.

Can you also assist with what is involved when prchasing a car, cost of insurance or any other associated costs.

you can answer this mail or e-mail at [email protected]

Thank you all in advance for all & any assistance given.

James

Come and have a look. families are mixed, giordanian, italian, sirian, good indian style, english, american a g

hi,

we live in a nice compound near villaggio, villas 3 bd., good enviroment, 5 min. to villaggio, the price is getting down, if you negotiate the price and pay 3 months in advance you can get for 12.000 only. Personally I think it nice. By the way, i don't think it a good idea to apply to newton school- good luck!

Unfortunately you are guessing right 20,000 is about price for a good compound villa although you maybe lucky at 18,000. Please use a reputable real estate there are a few British here as you need to ensure you have a good landlord. I think compounds are best with children as they integrate and make friends alot quicker.

The main British schools here (only ones I would consider) are Doha English Speaking School, Doha College and Park House School. Places are tight and I would strongly advise you apply immediately if the job falls through you have lost nothing. You can apply to schools on line. With regards to fees I would allow for between 24,000 and 30,000 per annum. Your company should be paying these fees for you so make sure its included in your package.

You can purchase cars cheaply here and fuel costs nothing. You insure the car not the driver and it is roughly 5% of the value of the car. When buying new you normally get the first year insurance free. You will be unable to purchase a car until your Residency Permit is through.

If you want anymore information email me and I will try to give you as much information as possible.

Good luck

This ontarios problem.....

One of my Qatari colleague has two buildings in Al Hitmi (Salata Kadim) each 8 stories high. Both of them semi furnished. One compeled 11 months ago and other one completed 3 months now.

He (not through agents) was trying initially to rent them at QR8,500 each apartment. He did not get any one. Even after reducing to QR 7,000. Still no positive response. He is very upset now as he said, his cost of building was too high and bank interest also accruing.

He is now considering to rent them out at QR 6,500.

You have help ontarios friend, and you save some of your money too..hmmm... do I deserved a dinner? or a lunch? or a... ok thanks. anyway just kidding..
