Hi
I have been living in Riyad in rented accomodation for the last 6 months...am now v v bored and need some social interaction...the wife more so!!!
I am from London and work in Fin Services . I am looking to move to any sort of compound preferably to a 2 bed place. I have called most of the compounds and been told there is a waiting list etc..Does anyone out there know how i should be going about finding accomodation? or knows someone leaving their compound soon from whom I could take over the lease?
Please please please help!!!!!!
Thanks v much for your time..
regards

Hi arslanh,
Have you tried asking at your company as they sometimes rent some accomodation on compounds. If not, they might have some contacts who can help you.

Hey ..
what is your budget for the 2 bedroom unit ? i have done some compound hunting myself lately and maybe my experience can be useful for you ..
Generally to bypass the waiting list, if you really like the unit is to have your company HR talk to the admin, and put down a deposit. But this work mostly for studio and one bedroom apartment, but is worth a try.
