Property Inspection Checklist for Jumeirah Park
After 28+ renovation projects in Jumeirah Park, these are the things we always wish buyers had checked before purchasing:
- Check the kitchen layout — enclosed kitchens are the number one renovation trigger for buyers
- Inspect external paintwork and boundary walls for weather damage
- Verify plumbing condition — original copper pipes may show early corrosion
- Assess the garden and plot potential for pool or outdoor living additions
- Check for any community violation notices from Nakheel
- Review the HVAC ductwork — some units have inadequate airflow to upper floors
