If you’re moving, either house shifting or relocating, you should analyze which is the best area where you can rent an apartment in Qatar in order to suit your interest or lifestyle. In this country has been a law encouraging of its past to buy properties in certain areas, which is under discussion right now and ex-pats have more flexibility in buying properties.
Till then, as one of the real estate companies in Qatar specialized in selling or renting in specific regions of this country, we are here to give you several pieces of advice about where to choose a house depending on your lifestyle, interest and, of course, budget.
Important!!! Legislation regarding the right of ex-pats to own properties in Qatar changes
We have previously written about ex-pats buying properties in Qatar and specified that foreigners were allowed to buy only residential real estate (apartments and villas), in specific areas and o a limited number of areas.
Last week, the Council of Ministers met and extended both the number of regions where ex-pats are allowed to buy properties. But also the range of properties that an ex-pat can buy. Hence, while till now foreigners could only buy villas/ houses or apartments, in the close future they are also allowed to buy land for investment in Qatar not only for residential purposes, offices, shops, units, villas in residential areas. This flexibility brings a new type of opportunity and ROI in real estate is expected to increase in a spectacular manner.
Also, the areas where expatriates can buy land enlarges to the followings:
- West Bay (Area 66)
- The Pearl-Qatar (66)
- Al Khor Resort (74)
- Rawdat Al Jahaniyah (investment area)
- Al Qassar (administrative area 60)
- Al Dafna (administrative area 61)
- Onaiza (administrative area 63)
- Al Wasail (69)
- Al Khraij (69)
- Jabal Theyleeb (69).
What’s the benefit of this modification in real estate legislation for ex-pats?
First of all, it is an opportunity for ex-pats, but also for locals. Enlarging boundaries for investment in real estate in Qatar means more business and also better ROI (Return on Investment) in this field.
Secondly, ex-pats have openness in new business and also to own a residence in various areas.
What you should analyze when looking for apartments for rent in Qatar, regardless of the area where you are to live in?
There are elementary factors and this short questionnaire you should do for yourself and also address us, on which you should target basic questions. The rest of the solutions, you may find in our work.
As a single, you might be very comfortable with a studio apartment. In Qatar the buildings are new and the surface is greater than you might expect (over 50 sqm). In case you are to live with your family, the number of the members and the previous lifestyle are criteria you should consider. If you previously lives in a villa, you should also rent a house in Qatar, not an apartment.
In case you go for a flat, Qatar has to offer 2 to 5 bedroom units, endowed according to everyone’s need.
2. Your personal priorities
Here you might include special comfort, such as porter for the building, parking slots or gym on the premises. Also, for your house, you might like a large terrace or marina view.
If you have infants in your family, playground on-premises or nursery around should also be on your checklist.
3. Remoting for work
Time spent at work or driving to work might also be a criterion. In Qatar, driving is a pleasant experience compared to other countries and you can drive from one place to another pretty easily. In case you find a place that suits your needs and budget, driving along Skyline can be a pleasure.
For people spending plenty of time to work, living in West Bay, the place where businesses happen, might be a good idea.
