Who The Gardens suits, and how to buy or rent here

Suits

• Couples on the villa side: a furnished 900 square-foot two-bedroom at USD 1,400 is one of the best-value furnished homes in Phase 1.
• Families on the marina side: three bedrooms, all en-suite, with desks built in for the children.
• Executives who host: the seventh-floor terrace and the tenth-floor pool suite.
• A buyer who wants a finished, furnished four-bedroom rather than an off-plan promise: MVR 6.5 million, seventh floor, 1,500 square feet.

Suits less

• Anyone who needs a large gym or a clubhouse; The Gardens keeps its facilities simple.

Renting: what the concierge checks

Marina side or villa side. Which floor, and whether the balcony or terrace is private. The furnishing inventory in writing. Parking. Service charge. Move-in date and term.

Buying: what the concierge checks

Title and the seller's standing; the building's management and service charge; the exact unit's area and furnishing; the bank route (the two families of housing loan and their terms are in Binga's buying guide); the achieved rents in the building, so a buyer who intends to let can value the unit on evidence: three-bedrooms at USD 2,300, the pool suite at USD 3,000.
