How do I find a place to live in Fujairah?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Fujairah, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could be an apartment, a villa, or a townhouse. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Fujairah to find one that suits your lifestyle and needs. Some popular areas include Al Faseel, Al Gurf, and Fujairah Tower. Consider factors such as proximity to work or school, availability of public transportation, and nearby amenities such as shops, restaurants, and parks. Once you've identified a few potential neighborhoods, you can start your property search. There are several online real estate portals that list properties for rent or sale in Fujairah, such as Bayut, Property Finder, and Dubizzle. These websites allow you to filter listings by area, property type, price range, and other criteria. You can also hire a real estate agent to help you find a property. They can provide valuable local knowledge, arrange viewings, and negotiate with landlords or sellers on your behalf. Make sure to choose a reputable agent who is registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) in the UAE. When you find a property you're interested in, arrange a viewing to inspect it in person. Check the condition of the property, ask about any additional fees or charges, and find out about the terms of the lease or sale agreement. Finally, once you've found a property you want to move into, you'll need to sign a contract and pay a deposit. In the UAE, it's common to pay rent in one or two lump sums rather than monthly. You'll also need to provide some documents, such as a copy of your passport and UAE residence visa, and possibly a letter from your employer confirming your salary. Remember, it's important to read the contract carefully and make sure you understand all the terms before signing. If you're not comfortable with the language of the contract, consider hiring a lawyer to review it," said one person in Fujairah.
