ASSISTANCE NEEDED ASAP PLEASE
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.

it is a new compound, so it is still half empty. we have a swimming pool and a club house with gym. I mean it is not really fancy but it is quiet and familiar. we are closed to villaggio.
the villa has 3 bd, maid room, back yard for barbeque.
Come and have a look. families are mixed, giordanian, italian, sirian, good indian style, english, american a g
ood mixed combination, a good environment.
you can call Mr. Mahmoud 5872802 for Maether garden compound behind Rayann Municipality.
Wellcome new families!!
hey,
I'm also interested in 3 b/r compound close to Landmark or Villagio. So daniela, is there any free villa in your compound? and how's the environment for kids?
thanks
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!
at least 20k pm for rental?! lol someone give him some facts please.
A huge three bed luxury apartment in Al Fardan Tower is 22k in Westbay lol

here is the link to application for Newton british school

Newton just open NEWTON BRITISH SCHOOL in alwaab st next to beverly hills 4 compound ...Their website is www.newtoninternationalschool.com they do have the international school in west bay and d ring but this British school is concentrate to british school why dont you give a try ....beside that school is about how you educate them in the house too
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..
