One major factor that determines the final cost of an apartment or flat is the number of rooms in that housing amenity. Apartments with 6 rooms and above cost much than apartments with less than 5 rooms. However, there will be differences in the cost of the apartment and also in the rentals when you go into the city suburbs.
Just a few decades ago, just before the discovery of oil, one or even two room houses were more seen in the UAE. Now, the situation has changed even when the local population has increased phenomenally. Now, it is very rare to see such types of dwellings even though single men and women who wish to spend their lives alone may prefer it in dormitories and other hostels.’
Some of the luxury homes are seen to have a minimum of 9 rooms. The modern customer is pampered for choice and there is no dearth of living spaces for people with high incomes. However, the migrants working in construction sectors often prefer dormitory type accommodation since they do not want to pay for costly accommodation but want to save the maximum amount of money to send it back to their relatives and families.
The final cost of a house for sale in the UAE is determined by a host of factors. One is the proximity of the place of stay to key amenities like schools, colleges, hospitals, transport systems etc. The other aspect is the type of building construction materials and accessories that has been used to build and furnish the house.
