Villa sizes?
Hi,
Looking to move to Qatar. Have checked Gulftimes and at least 5 property mgmt sites, seen lots of villas, read about lots of villas. They all say how many bedrooms, maid room, living areas, etc.
One problem.
Nowhere can I get the square meter SIZE of the villa.
Question:
1. Is there a reason why square meter (or footage) is not listed?
2. Am I missing something? Is there a major source of information that I missed where villa sizes are actually stated?
(for those of you from US/Canada, if you see sites like realtor.com or mls.ca, they all show square footage, I mean in my opinion, that's the MOST important thing. When I see a listing for a villa for 15K, the first question I want to know is how big is it, how many bedrooms it has is the second question!)

OK thanks everyone.
It's just frustrating that I cannot do my own research on the internet on villas, not knowing how big they are.
Sorry, but I just find that odd. Unless, of course, there is some other reason why villa sizes are NEVER disclosed in internet listings or classifieds.
Very odd.
No response needed, just airing a frustration. Thanks again for your responses and help,

I guess you could try using an agent? They could be your "eyes" here and check out some places for you, estimate the square footage. But if you do find a name of a compound, let us know.
It only usually shows how many bedrooms, lounge, and dinning room, like in the UK.
I have however noticed that in the States it shows how many feet.
Unless you go and look at the villa, you won't know the true size, unless it states it.

Thank you for your comment pwb78. No, I dont have a specific compound in mind, I'm only curious generally as to why square meter size is hardly ever listed on:
1. Gulf Times
2. Classified Ad on QL
3. Any Qatar-based property management sites.
I do see a lot of comments in this forum along the lines of "you should go see the villas", or "dont worry, you'll be taken care of once you get here" or "villas are spacious". Frankly, I find those responses frustrating and unbelievable! Is it the "expatriate" way to never see the size of the villa they are looking for? Is there a law that prohibits it, a reason why square meters are never provided?
I live in Canada, and dont have the money or the time to visit Doha just to take a look at some villas.
Why are villa sizes never stated? Maybe I'll never know....Anyone have any comments.....PLEASE???
I don't know why they don't list square footage but of all the villas I have been in, rooms are huge. My kid's bedroom here is the size of our old living room back home. Have any specific compound in mind? Maybe someone knows about it.
