been in dub a year this week and finding the current flat not too ideal for my situation, amazing tho this place is, i need more space for cars and working on them.

looking for a villa share in either springs/meadows, barsha, al sufouh, jumeirah 3 areas. or anywhere if they have an air-conditioned garage!

saw two earlier - one with a double garage in jumeirah 3 but they neglected to tell me the room had already been let out, and another in springs 9 which was nice but i think 4 cats [yes cats] is slightly OTT in a 3 bed villa.

if you know of anyone looking, please shout up. ideally looking to save a bit of cash so was hoping for 4k max inc bills.

Did you go and look at the one that was quite clearly a pair of swingers?

Showed it you you ar our place over a curry and a beer- the one asking for 'free spirited individuals who join in with the group' whose interests were 'being outisde, being inside, making friends' And probably 'indulging in numerous depraved acts with strangers'

BINGO!

Phli, rent a small warehouse in Al Quoz or something, and chuck a bed and a kettle in there.

Would that mean that Rose could have her parking space back??




Only joking mate- her car doesnt deserve a space. Anywhere on the planet.

villas with garages tend to be 5/6 bed mcmansion types and are expensive to rent and run [just the monthly outlay in bills would be enough for rent on a nice 1 bed flat].

a lot of 2/3 beds have a car port, and rich gets by with his for tinkering on his mgb. only issue is the summer heat.

there seems to be a growing no. of people on the local forums looking to group together and rent an industrial unit for car storage/tinkering. costs look attractive [£500-1000 per person per annum] but needs organising.

i reckon i could actually live happily in a lockup with a mezzanine floor, wonder what the authorities' take on that would be??

What time was that- i was sat doing nothing until midnight last night? You should always ring mate- i simply dont feel confident in your ability to tell that french woman to fk off without assistance

Not always mate. I have a 5 bed villa with a car port thing, and it's not too expensive. Sure DEWA relieve me of up tp 3 k a month, but ask Oilydan about his bills!!!

Seriously, you can get a 1000sq ft warehouse for 70k a year, right up your alley, you could hold private parties and stuff......bikini parties specifically.

Just need to get the cash now smile

don't listen to chilli, he is so far out of town it's practically oman biggrin

i would be seriosuly interested in a lock up, but aren't there laws against it to stop asian workers sleeping on pallets stacked 6 high and rotated in shifts?

this with a mezzanine bed deck please

To rent a warehouse, you're gonna need a local partner / someone with a relevant trade license to be able to get one.

And no - you're not going to be able to live in it. The authorities wouldn't look too kindly on that - shame though, you could make some epic loft-style apartments out of plenty of commercial space in Dubai.

Including maids house, drivers house and my house smile I have 10 bedrooms in Barsha (could be 13 if you used the kids playroom/study/dogs quarters) with pool for 195k. No enclosed garage but Landlord would be fine to put sheet metal around the carport and fit an A/C.

My bills did dip into 6-8k per month last year but we had water leaks, pool pump running 24/7. Fixed the leak and knocked the pool back to 4 hours per day and back into a healthy 1-2k per month. Will be 4k once the heat comes....
