Indoor air quality can be a major concern especially when considering the purchase of a villa. In dubai and the uae, indoor air pollution is often due to various factors including construction dust, mold growth, volatile organic compounds from furnishings, and even asbestos in some older buildings.
UAE regulations like the Federal Law No. 13 of 2016 concerning building control mandate regular inspections for new constructions and renovations. However, these laws are more focused on exterior safety standards rather than indoor air quality. It's crucial to conduct a thorough professional inspection before finalizing any purchase. If you've heard about possible issues with your villa’s indoor air, this isn't necessarily a deal breaker but it does require serious attention. An expert can help assess the situation and determine if remediation is needed. For instance, mold growth due to water leaks or improper ventilation can be a health hazard and will need prompt action. Typically, remediation costs vary widely depending on the extent of contamination and the measures required. Small issues like mildew might only require cleaning and dehumidification whereas more severe cases such as asbestos removal could cost thousands of dirhams. It's wise to get multiple quotes from reputable contractors who specialize in indoor air quality.
