Annual rent for three-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina
Features The 3,924-square-foot duplex is located in The Torch building. All bedrooms are en suite with walk-in wardrobes, and there are two separate kitchens. Rent can be paid in two cheques.
Pros The apartment has been finished to an extremely high standard, with nice decorative touches such as a striking wallpaper in the master bedroom and eye-catching light fittings in the living room. It is located on a high floor, with stunning views of the surrounding area, Sheikh Zayed Road, Emirates Golf Club and beyond.
Cons There seem to be roadworks under way almost constantly in this part of the city, which isn't ideal, and parking is hard to come by if you have people coming to visit.
They say Properties in The Torch are completed to a very high specification and have access to excellent facilities, which have made them very popular with the local market.
We say The apartment really has been built to high spec and the views truly are stunning. Definitely worth a look.

The bio
Favourite book: Peter Rabbit. I used to read it to my three children and still read it myself. If I am feeling down it brings back good memories.
Best thing about your job: Getting to help people. My mum always told me never to pass up an opportunity to do a good deed.
Best part of life in the UAE: The weather. The constant sunshine is amazing and there is always something to do, you have so many options when it comes to how to spend your day.
Favourite holiday destination: Malaysia. I went there for my honeymoon and ended up volunteering to teach local children for a few hours each day. It is such a special place and I plan to retire there one day.
