Maintenance in Dubai Hills Estate.

The single highest-value thing a Dubai Hills owner can do. Documented defects before acceptance are the developer's obligation; found afterwards they become your budget.

Extremely common in newly handed-over property. It presents as a home that feels dusty however often it is cleaned, and it needs mechanical duct cleaning to resolve.

Much equipment here is still inside manufacturer warranty. Knowing what is covered before authorising a paid repair saves real money.

Normal in new build, and cosmetic — but worth documenting during the defects liability period rather than filling yourself.

New gardens need different care from mature ones: irrigation tuning, soil improvement and realistic planting for the first two summers.

Shower and balcony drainage that does not quite fall correctly is a common new-build defect and much easier to raise before acceptance.
