Jebel Ali Village Villas & Townhouses: Complete Handover Guide
Jebel Ali Village is emerging as one of Dubai’s most sought-after residential communities, combining green surroundings, modern amenities, and iconic views of Ibn Battuta, Dubai Marina, and JLT. For buyers eagerly awaiting their new villas or townhouses, understanding the handover process is essential.
1. Construction and Final Stages
The villas and townhouses in Jebel Ali Village are now in their final construction phase. Before handover, there is a meticulous step-by-step process that ensures every home meets the highest standards.
The developer must obtain crucial certificates:
Dubai Civil Defense approval for fire safety systems
DEWA approval for electrical and water installations with permanent connections
2. Community Infrastructure Completion
Beyond individual units, the surrounding infrastructure is also inspected. Roads, pavements, and streetlights must be fully completed and free of debris to ensure safety and accessibility. Authorities like the RTA monitor road quality and access, confirming compliance with safety standards.
3. Final Approvals and Building Completion Certificates
Once the project consultants and engineers verify that all villas and townhouses meet the required standards, the next step involves obtaining government approvals.
Dubai Municipality conducts a final building inspection. If all requirements are met, Building Completion Certificates are issued, confirming the homes are legally ready for occupancy.
4. Cosmetic Works and Landscaping
Cosmetic touches, including landscaping, can continue even after handover. Since greenery and finishing works do not affect the livability of a home, developers often complete these enhancements after buyers have received their keys.
5. Handover Process for Buyers
After obtaining the Completion Certificates, the developer notifies both the Dubai Land Department and the buyers that the project is complete. Buyers then receive a Completion Notice, which marks the official readiness of the property for handover.
From the date of this notice, buyers usually have around 30 days to complete final inspections, often referred to as snagging inspections, ensuring that everything meets their expectations.
6. Tips for Buyers
Verify all utilities and certifications before signing the handover document.
Conduct a thorough inspection of your unit to check for any defects or pending works.
Clarify timelines for landscaping or any remaining cosmetic works.
