Would new cleaning be a deal breaker?« Back to Previous Page

Would new cleaning be a deal breaker? It's certainly something to take into account but it doesn't have to be a full stop to your villa buying journey. In the emirate of Dubai, indoor environmental quality (IEQ) can sometimes require a bit of TLC, especially if you're looking at a recently constructed or renovated property.

The UAE, and specifically Dubai, has certain building codes and regulations regarding indoor air quality but they are not as stringent as some other regions. However, it's always wise to ensure that any new villa is properly cleaned and treated for potential contaminants before moving in.

If your inspection mentioned possible 'cleaning new', this might mean there could be residual materials from construction or renovation that need to be addressed. Common issues can include dust, off-gassing from newly installed materials like carpets or paints, or even mold growth due to moisture problems.

Remediation costs can vary widely depending on the extent of work needed and the contractor you hire. Generally speaking, remediation for minor cleaning up might cost a few thousand dirhams, but larger issues could escalate into tens of thousands. It's always best to get multiple quotes from reputable companies that specialize in this area.

I'd strongly recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment. They can give you a proper evaluation and provide guidance on how serious the situation is, helping you decide if it’s worth moving forward with the purchase after remediation work.

Remember, investing in a thorough cleaning of your new villa can greatly enhance its value and protect your health. The peace of mind from knowing your home meets high indoor air quality standards could be priceless.

Always go for professional advice to make sure you’re making an informed decision. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the environment of your future home!
