Cleaning asthma might indeed be a deal breaker for your villa purchase. Asthma triggered by poor indoor air quality can significantly impact one's health and quality of life. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it is crucial to address any potential issues that could affect your health negatively.
First off, if the inspection flagged cleaning asthma as an issue, it suggests there might be problems with dust mites, mold, or other allergens which can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma. While this isn’t a deal breaker per se, it does warrant serious attention and action to ensure you’re living in a healthy environment. In Dubai, the Environmental Health Regulation 12 of 2020 is particularly relevant. It mandates that properties meet certain health standards, which includes maintaining good indoor air quality. This regulation can be used as leverage if you decide to push for remediation or even negotiate with the seller depending on your contract terms. I'd recommend engaging a professional inspection service like ours here at Saniservice. We specialize in Dubai and the UAE region and have seen many cases where minor issues were overlooked but turned out to be significant health risks. Our team can provide a thorough assessment, identify specific allergens or contaminants, and propose remediation strategies tailored for your villa. Typically, the cost of remediation depends on the extent of the issue. For example, if it’s just localized mold growth, costs might range from AED 5,000 to AED 10,000. More extensive issues like widespread mold or asbestos could push costs upwards but would also come with significant health benefits. Remember, investing in your health and comfort is worth every penny. Plus, resolving these issues can improve the resale value of your property should you ever decide to sell down the line.
