Annual rent for a seven-bedroom villa in Al Barari: Dubai: Dh600,000
Features: With a built-up area of 16,448 square feet, this fully furnished Acacia villa is the largest of the four property types available in Dubai's Al Barari development.
Pros: Backing on to a lake and surrounded by lush greenery, the villa has seven en suite bedrooms, as well as a guest room and self-contained maid's quarters. We love the landscaped gardens, swimming pool and pool pavilion. The villa is beautifully decorated in a calming neutral palette.
Cons: Al Barari is still viewed as off-the-beaten-track by many, but in reality, this is a key part of its charm.
They say: One can enjoy the lush green park and fresh waterways, which capture the true beauty of the Al Barari lifestyle.
We say: A stunning property. We would move in now if we could.

Difference between fractional ownership and timeshare
Although similar in its appearance, the concept of a fractional title deed is unlike that of a timeshare, which usually involves multiple investors buying “time” in a property whereby the owner has the right to occupation for a specified period of time in any year, as opposed to the actual real estate, said John Peacock, Head of Indirect Tax and Conveyancing, BSA Ahmad Bin Hezeem & Associates, a law firm.
