Hi, my daughter and her family are looking for a villa with a garden having lived in an apartment for several years. I'd love them to live near us so we can see more of our grandchild and babysit more often etc etc.

They really like the Alma Villas at Arabian Ranches and even found one and though it was near the mosque, it didn't bother them. What did bother them was that the landlord would only take 1 cheque. Where else in the world do you have to pay a whole years rent in advance? They are prepared to pay by 4 cheques, which is enough, having to pay 3 months in advance.

Anyway, if anyone is leaving soon, or knows who owns one of those lovely, empty, villas in Alma, please let me know asap.

Many thanks.

Yorky, one villa on Dubizzle was advertised by 8 different agents - its the one where the landlord would only take 1 cheque. Al Reen not so good as they want to walk to the shops etc. Thanks Wonderful_Woman, I will give Deborah a ring this morning. Any other nice 3 bedroom villas with a garden available? You will find most properties are advertised by multiple agents (they often share the commission). There are a few villas empty so hopefully you can find an agent that can help you.

there's a fabulous new agent called Deborah - she's given details on EW - working for a company in Al Barsha - 0 five 0 4 five 0 8 seven 1 three she is the proverbial breath of fresh air - an agent who (1) listens to you and (2) isn't just interested in showing what she wants to get rid of! i can HIGHLY recommend her - she's just found a wonder new place in VH and all within my budget!

I noticed a few for rent on Dubizzle but can't remember prices/number of cheques. They should get something in that price range in Al Reem if they can't find anything in Alma. Maybe the agents that have stands in the Arabian Ranches shopping centre can help?
