Would cleaning issues be costly?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning issues can indeed be costly and might not necessarily be a dealbreaker for your villa purchase. However, it’s crucial to understand the extent of the cleaning better that was identified during inspection before making any big decisions.

Firstly, the UAE has specific regulations concerning indoor environmental quality. The Federal Law No. 24 of 1985 on Public Health and the Dubai Health Authority guidelines are key references here. These laws mandate that buildings must be free from health hazards which could include mold, lead paint, asbestos, and other contaminants.

If cleaning issues were identified during your villa's inspection, it’s advisable to seek a second opinion through professional environmental testing. Companies like Saniservice can conduct thorough inspections using advanced equipment and techniques tailored for the UAE market. Their services are invaluable in ensuring that any potential problems are accurately diagnosed before you make a purchase.

Now regarding costs, remediation prices can vary significantly based on the severity of the issue and the size of your villa. A minor cleaning job might cost around AED 200 to AED 500 for basic surface cleaning, while more extensive issues like mold removal could range from AED 3,000 upwards depending on the extent of the contamination and the materials involved.

It’s important to note that in Dubai, there is a requirement under the Building Code (Dubai Regulation No. 16) to ensure all buildings are clean and safe before they can be occupied or sold. This means that any necessary cleaning or remediation work must be completed to meet these standards.

In conclusion, while cleaning issues may add costs to your villa purchase, they should not necessarily deter you from making the investment if the issues are manageable. Always opt for professional advice and follow through with thorough cleanings where needed to ensure a healthy living environment.
