Renovating in Jumeirah: what to know

Jumeirah is one of Dubai's older, established residential areas, with many standalone villas built over several decades rather than in a single master-planned community. Condition and layouts vary a lot from one villa to the next.

Standalone villas of many ages, plus some apartment buildings, rather than a single master-planned community

Approvals

Building management NOC for apartments; authority permits for villa extensions and structural changes

• Site survey first: because villas vary so much, an on-site survey is the only way to give an accurate, fixed price.
• Older villas: full MEP renewal, re-waterproofing of wet areas and roof checks are common on older homes.
• Approvals depend on the plot: structural changes and extensions generally need authority permits — we confirm what applies before design starts.
• Layout changes: opening up kitchens and living areas is a popular upgrade in older villas, subject to structural checks.
