I received my keys about a week ago and last weekend went up to see the apartment. I'm really happy with it - it's quite decently finished, the bedroom is quite big and the ceilings are high which adds to the feeling of spaciousness. Obviously, it's not huge but better than I expected. I spent a very peaceful, relaxing day there last Friday.Greece is a pleasant area - near the lake, which looks lovely.
It took 2 days only to let out the property - apparently there were 2 couples "fighting" over it and it's been let for Dhs55,000 per year from 1st Feb with 2 checks. The agents connect DEWA for the tenants - tenants pay the water and electricity costs.
So all in all I feel very happy with it as an investment. The agent told me he could sell it for Dhs600,000 and it's a great rate of return.
Best wishes
