Help needed first purchase in dubai

[Jules1977]

Hi,

I need some help!! I am looking at purchsing a holiday home in dubai. Something I can rent out and use myself for a few holidays a year.

Idealy after a 1 bdroom apt, but the location is everything. I want something near to bars / resturaunts etc. I also want somewhere with a nice pool for relaxation on holiday. this will be for people on vacation.

I have no idea where is best. I have baffled myself with so much contravining information on the internet over the last month that i really do not know where is good and where is not.

If someone could offer me some advice i would be very gratefull

Many Thanks

Julian

IMHO - JBR - It's a 100% banker!

Downtown dubai e.g. Marina, JBR, JLT are best for you. near to beach. easy to move..easy to rent appt there.. markets.. pubs and all arn't that far..

whats your budget anyways...?

thanks for your response. this is one option i have actually considered, and woud love to get some more info from you.

Please e-mail me on Jules1977(at)sky(dot)com

JBR is also an area that i have looked at, the only downside is that it looks way overcrouded.

Thanks.

My budget is about 1 Million AED.

I am not sure about JBR, it seems a bit high rise and overcrowded.

The marina is one option, and i ave not looked at JLT yet.

Thanks

1 million - I am not sure about prices these days as I speculate off plan on villas, whole floors of apartments and offices, but I can't imagine you would get into JBR for 1 million. A friend of mine said the Greens was 1.3 for a 1 bedder now. JBR will always have speace because for many people it is just a vacation home and so a lot of it will stay empty for most of the year. Increase your budget and buy there - it's like 1 massive hotel wth shops, bars and restaurants.

1 million AED is only an esimate. 1.3 to 1.5 is no problem for the right place.

does anyone know any good contacts for purchasing through

[LuckyNumber]

loads of good brokers out there... Stick with Better Homes etc and you will be jus fine. I know a few JBR experts if that's what you need.

Why dont you go for some studio in Marina. That will keep you within your budget. But yes i can also help you getting some good appt. in JBR... PM me your email ID

Regards
