Apartment sizes from studio to 3 bedrooms

AG House has studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom apartments. That gives single renters, couples and families a choice inside one building. A studio suits one person who spends most days elsewhere, while a larger apartment makes more sense for a family that needs separate bedrooms. Whatever the type, check where the storage space is and how the kitchen is laid out.

Bedroom count only tells you part of the story. Apartments with the same number of bedrooms can differ in floor area and layout, so ask for the floor plan of every unit you like and compare the plans side by side. Ask which floor each unit is on and which way it faces too, because two apartments of the same type in one building can feel quite different.

Because AG House was completed in 2020, ask the landlord or seller how the apartment has been kept since then: whether the kitchen and bathrooms have been refitted, when the air conditioning was last serviced, and whether any repairs are outstanding.

If you are looking for a family home, ask where the bedrooms sit in relation to the living room, whether the third bedroom has its own window, and how large the kitchen is. If you are looking at a studio, work out where the bed and a desk would go before you decide.

Pool, courts and function rooms at AG House

The building has a swimming pool, a fitness center and a gym. It also has a squash court and a basketball court.

For social use there are function rooms. Ask who manages their bookings and whether a deposit is asked for. Day to day, the building runs with central air conditioning, 24/7 security and parking.

Sports facilities need upkeep. When you visit, check that the gym equipment works, that the pool is clean and that the courts are in use rather than closed.

Before you decide, ask how the courts and function rooms are booked, whether any facility has set hours or fees, and how parking is assigned to your unit. If you play squash or basketball regularly, go and look at the courts themselves, and ask whether they are for residents only or whether guests can use them too.

Because the building has 24/7 security, also ask how visitors and deliveries are handled at the entrance, and whether parking is for residents only.

If you plan to host a gathering, ask how many guests a function room holds and whether catering or music is allowed.

Renting or buying in AG House: the paperwork differs

A tenant and a buyer both need to see the apartment first, but after that the steps are different.

A tenant signs a tenancy contract with the landlord and registers it in Ejari, the system Dubai uses to record rental contracts. The questions that matter are what the rent covers, how it is paid, and what the contract says about maintenance and renewal.

A buyer is dealing with ownership. The title deed shows who owns the apartment, and the owners' association sets a service charge budget for the building. Read both before you agree on a price. If you are renting, also ask how long the contract runs and what notice either side must give. If you are buying, ask whether the apartment is sold with its parking and whether any service charge is still owed on it.

AG House is already built, so in either case you can inspect the exact apartment you would live in instead of relying on a plan or a show unit.

Dubai Land Department registers every ownership transfer, and you can browse recent registered transactions on our site. A registered price for another apartment is not a price for the one you are viewing, so use it only to frame your questions.

Whichever you choose, ask for the terms in writing before you pay a deposit, and check that the name of the landlord or seller matches the property documents.

Other buildings in Deira you can compare

Layouts, building age, facilities and service charges differ from one building to the next, so it helps to look at two or three before you decide, whether you are buying or renting. The differences show up fastest when you ask the same questions in every building and keep the answers on one list.

A checklist before you rent or buy at AG House

AG House is a finished building, so most of these steps are about confirming facts rather than imagining them. Take the list with you and tick each step off as you go.

1. Ask for the unit's exact size and floor plan, and compare them with the figures in any quote or advert.
2. Confirm which apartment you are being shown. Note its floor and unit number so that the apartment you view is the one you would rent or buy.
3. If you are buying, ask to see the title deed and check that the seller's name matches the owner on it. A developer's name does not show who owns each apartment.
4. Ask the seller or landlord for the owners' association service charge budget for the building, and what the charge covers.
5. Ask how parking is allocated: whether a space comes with the unit, where it is, and where visitors park.
6. If you are renting, ask in writing what the rent includes, and whether cooling, water and electricity are billed separately.
7. Ask how the pool, gym, squash court, basketball court and function rooms are booked, what their hours are, and whether guests may use them.
8. Visit at different times of day, for example on a weekday morning and on a weekend evening, to see how busy the lifts, pool and parking are and how much noise reaches the unit.
9. Look at the condition of the common areas, the lifts and the gym equipment, and ask the building management how repairs are reported.
10. Once you sign a tenancy, register it in Ejari and keep copies of the contract, the Ejari certificate and every payment receipt. If you are buying, keep the signed sale agreement and complete the ownership transfer through Dubai Land Department, then check that the new title deed carries your name.

Keep a simple record as you go. Write down each answer, the date you were told and who told you, then compare units on the same list. Prices and charges change, so a quote without a date is hard to rely on.

Do not feel rushed. A careful viewing, a few written answers and a check of the documents take little time compared with the length of a tenancy or the cost of a purchase, and they leave you free to say no if something does not match what you were told.
