Home Maintenance Tips

Your home needs constant upkeep and maintenance to keep it in its prime and pristine condition. Add these items to your home maintenance checklist for a stress-free living experience.

Air conditioning system

Every room in your home has a temperature-controlled regulator connected to the heating and cooling system, which includes a filter that requires monthly/quarterly maintenance based on your household’s needs. If you have pets and family members with allergies, a monthly replacement would be ideal. It would be best to have an HVAC professional conduct routine maintenance on a biannual basis, for a smooth run of your air-conditioning system.

Your home is equipped with energy recovery ventilators that balance humidity levels and improves indoor air quality.

Refrigerators

Refrigerator coils positioned either underneath or behind refrigerator unit are prone to get dusty, causing your fridge to work harder. A monthly cleaning would save on electricity and extend the life of your fridge.

Smoke detector systems

Appoint a certified technician to check your smoke detectors and fire alarm installations. It is vital that batteries of smoke detectors are replaced biannually and tested for proper working condition.

Water heater and water pumps

Your home is equipped with two domestic water pumps, with one serving as a booster pump if there is an overload on the main pump. The pumps are operated by the pressure switch that detects a drop in pressure when you open a tap in the house. It is advisable to treat prolonged water leaks by fixing clogged drains or damaged water fittings.

Over a period of time, you will notice that sediments build up in water heaters and this can shorten the life of the appliance. It is recommended to drain water heaters annually to release the sediments before potential damages and help extend the shelf life of the heater itself.

Other electricals

If a complete power outage occurs in your townhouse and community, you can reach DEWA on +971 4 601 9999 to report it. If the disruption is limited to your home, inspect all circuit breakers, including the main breaker for damages and arrange for a service maintenance through a third-party provider.

If there is no power to an electrical outlet

Check if it is connected to a wall switch that may have not been turned on. Once this is determined, inspect the circuit breakers and reset any that may have turned off.

If a hanging light fixture does not work

You probably have a broken connection along a circuit. Check to see if wall switches, circuit breakers and the bulb has been installed properly.

Pest control

Protect your family and your home from common pests like ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, and rats by appointing a professional Dubai Municipality-licensed and approved pest control company.

Landscaping

If you have a home garden, it is recommended to mow your grass regularly and don’t let it grow too tall. Overgrown, unkempt grass is an invitation to lawn disease. During the summer months, watering the lawn is preferable at night or early morning. During the cooler months, you can water just once a day, early in the morning.

Drainage systems

Clogged drains can threaten your home’s foundation and become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. It is recommended to test floor gutters drains twice a year to ensure they are working properly.

Sign up for an annual contract with a reputed general maintenance company to keep a tab on your mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

Should you have any queries or need further information, please reach out to Nakheel Community Management on 800 NAKHEEL or help@nakheelcommunities.com

Dumping of bulk items such as furniture, landfill such as sand or rocks or gravel, construction debris and hazardous material such as oil or flammable liquids, in community bins or common areas, is prohibited. Household and recyclable waste must be disposed of in designated bins outside the property.

Private Landscaping

Residents are reminded that any work that involves digging the soil or hard landscaping, major landscaping improvements such as construction of irrigation systems, swimming pools and other external structural work may be executed, only after obtaining clearance from Nakheel’s Development Control and Planning Approvals Department. Plants and trees in the Master Community must not be damaged and residents are urged to avoid planting Conocarpus Lancifolius or the Damas tree within their property, as they are notorious for wreaking havoc on walls, pool structures, pipes, etc. in its quest for water.

Common Areas and Community Amenities

These refer to shared facilities in the master community, which are for the enjoyment of all residents. Residents are requested to adhere to the rules posted at each facility and ensure that equipment at the facility is used appropriately and properly maintained for the next user.

Pets

Your community is a pet-friendly neighbourhood with easy and simple community rules, aimed to help reduce neighbourly conflicts and ensure a healthier environment for you and your furry family member. Familiarise yourself with Dubai Municipality’s rules and regulations for pets and share the information with members of your household.

Please remember that only domestic animals can be kept as household pets. Dogs should always be kept on a leash and under the handler’s full control when outside the boundary of the owner’s private property. Pet waste must be promptly removed by the pet handler and properly disposed of in a safe and hygienic manner.

Vandalism

Residents are reminded not to engage in any acts of graffiti or vandalism such as scribbling or spray painting on walls. These actions not only deface property but also create a negative impact on the community’s appearance and safety. Costs arising from acts of vandalism shall be directly charged to the responsible individuals and funds from Non-Compliance Penalties will be credited to the community account as income.

Noise and nuisance

Residents must be considerate of their neighbours and refrain from any activities that may cause a disturbance such as generating loud noises, smoke, or obstructing views. Prior to holding any private events in common areas of the master community, please obtain permission and approvals from Nakheel Community Management.

All homeowners and residents are requested to treat the community staff and service providers in a cordial and polite manner.

Notice of Non-Compliance

A Notice of non-Compliance is an official notice from Nakheel Community Management issued via Dubai Land Department’s Mollak system, notifying homeowners or residents when a breach of a community rule is identified on the property. Upon the initial instance of a violation, a first warning is issued. Should the violation persist or remain unaddressed, a second and third warning, along with a Non-Compliance fine, will be issued accordingly.

Important note: The warnings and fines from non-compliances are applicable as per RERA’s guidelines.

What is the purpose of the Notice of Non-Compliance?

The main objective of the Notice of Non-Compliance is to uphold community rules, ensuring compliance with the community’s standards by all homeowners and residents, and to instigate corrective measures to prevent future violations.

Who bears responsibility for paying the Non-Compliance Penalty?

The homeowner is accountable for settling the Non-Compliance Fine, regardless of whether the tenant is at fault.

How can the Non-Compliance Fine be paid?

Homeowners will receive notification of the applicable Non-Compliance Fine through their Mollak account, along with a copy of the relevant Notice of Non-Compliance. Payments can be made on the Dubai Rest app. Non-payment will be escalated for further legal action.

Resident Engagement

Customers are at the heart of everything we do. NCM’s three pillars are community-centricity, customer focus and technology-driven, and the ‘how’ and ‘what’ we do in the business come back to these key drivers.

Events and Activations

We understand the significance of community cohesion and are committed to organising a wide array of events and activities that promote a sense of belonging. We actively curate a diverse range of celebrations, CSR initiatives, sports events, health and wellness programmes, social gatherings, traditional festivities, and family-oriented and pet-friendly activities. These events bring together families, children, teenagers, and individuals from different backgrounds, fostering a strong sense of community.

Our activations are centred around sustainability and are aimed at educating and engaging our younger residents. Additionally, our campaigns promote responsible citizenship, focusing on community safety, responsible pet ownership, and other relevant topics. We host special focus groups and kids’ committees for our younger residents for children and teenagers who want to have their say in the community on relevant topics on a frequent basis.

LiveWell with Nakheel

Our signature health and well-being series has seen 11 successful events, touching on topics including men’s health, gut health, hair and skin, hormones and pain management to name a few, featuring local, regional and international experts sharing evidence-based knowledge.

Home of Netball

Nakheel Community Management has been the Presenting Partner for the Emirates Dubai 7s Netball Tournament, as part of a five-year collaboration. This aligns with our common goal to promote healthy lifestyles through sport, thus establishing Nakheel Communities as the ‘Home of Netball’. We are also the main sponsor of the UAE Netball Federation, which is the national governing body of netball within the Emirates. On the lines of this venture, we broke ground in December 2023 to commence the construction of six netball courts in one of our communities. This will become a focal point for residents and sports enthusiasts, fostering a sense of community and shared enthusiasm for netball.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Nakheel Community Management actively engages residents in yearly donative drives in collaboration with humanitarian organisations including Emirates Red Crescent and Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities Department and creates avenues for homeowners and tenants to give back to the larger community, including the service provider community that works behind the scenes.

Communications

We are dedicated to fostering an open and connected community through various media of communication.

NCM publishes quarterly newsletters, which serve as a reliable source of information, keeping residents informed and engaged about the vibrant happenings, news, community enhancements, and upcoming developments within the community.

Announcements and notifications are relayed on email, SMS and WhatsApp channels and enabling us to deliver crucial updates and information directly to our community residents. The annually published Community Usage Charge info packs provide homeowners with information on the yearly Community Usage Charge budget along with general information regarding ongoing plans to ensure the financial health, longevity and upkeep of the community.

Safety and Security

CCTV Surveillance

NCM ensures the wellbeing, safety and security of all residents by equipping the community with an access control system and a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance system. Consisting of multiple cameras, the system records footage and data in accordance with Security Industry Regulatory Authority (SIRA).

The security team will allow only registered owners and vehicles to enter the community. Visitors and contractors will be identified and must follow security procedures. Security personnel will stop them, and ask to provide identification, state their destination and purpose of visit or advise them to obtain a security permit (for contractors). The CCTV system will capture images and video of all vehicles and vehicle number plates entering and exiting the community.

Insurance

Whether you are a homeowner or resident, making sure that your home and property is protected against loss, damage or theft is of paramount importance. While the common areas of your community are already insured, we recommend you invest in a comprehensive insurance plan that provides protection for your personal property.

Community Insurance

Nakheel Community Management maintains a minimum level of insurance for the entire community (common areas and common properties) that covers against:

▶ Accidental damage or destruction to common property

▶ Natural disasters, fire, lightning, earthquake, aircraft damage, flood, storm, explosion, riot, strike, malicious damage, water leaks and theft

▶ Any injury to third party or loss of or damage to third party property (present in the property) by acts of nature

Home Insurance

As a homeowner, your villa/townhouse should be protected from unexpected events and accidental loss or damage. A typical home insurance will cover you and your property against:

▶ Fire, explosion, lightning, earthquake, storm, flood and much more

▶ Leakage of water from water tanks, pipes, fixed apparatus

▶ Theft, or attempted theft

▶ Damage to paint finishes on your walls and ceilings

▶ Cost of alternative accommodation

Contents Insurance

It is recommended that you get contents insurance for protecting your household items and personal belongings. This will typically cover:

▶ Jewellery, laptop and other valuables

▶ Carpets, curtains and furniture

▶ TV, appliances and electronics

Community Usage Charge

The Community Usage Charges (also known as Service Fee/Charges) are charged to homeowners and represent their share of the annual community usage budget that is estimated to be required for the maintenance and operation of the common areas and assets of the community.

The Community Usage Charge consists of three main components:

1. General Fund

2. Reserve Fund

3. Special Levy

General Fund

The General Fund consists of day-to-day operating and administrative expenses used to maintain your community. Operational expenses include, but are not limited to, the maintenance, utility costs and management of:

▶ Common area facilities maintenance

▶ Cleaning and housekeeping

▶ Waste management services

▶ Security

▶ Insurance

▶ Landscape maintenance

▶ Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) assets

▶ Pest control

▶ Roads including road humps, speed breakers, signage, street lighting, repairs and maintenance

▶ Utilities including electricity, water, sewerage and Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) water systems

▶ Auditors and audit services

▶ Regulator fee

Reserve Fund

The Reserve Fund has been established for the costs incurred in the capital maintenance and replacement of assets. It is vital to have a robust fund balance to guarantee not only the smooth running of the community but also to ensure that the value of the community and individual units are maintained well into the future.

In order to ensure that the rates are calculated relevant to the requirement, we engage reserve fund study experts to evaluate conditions from time to time and also assess the remaining useful life of such capital assets based on which a suitable rate is applied.

Special Levy

Special Levy is a one-off charge for items not in the design or those not covered under the community usage charge budget of the respective areas.

Community Income

In addition to the Community Usage Charges, the income of the community is also boosted by the following:

Marketing and Distribution Permit Fee

To ensure that only legitimate businesses gain access to the community to promote their goods and services, we regulate activity with the provision of a permit that allows the distribution of promotional material. An administration fee is collected and booked as income to the community.

Non-Compliance Penalty

To ensure adherence to community rules and architectural guidelines, Notices of Violation (NOVs) are issued along with penalties to those who fail to comply. Private contractors are also given NOVs if they breach any community rule or carry out activities that contravene their entry permits.

Vandalism is a serious offence and persons who vandalise community property are penalised and reported to the local law enforcement authorities. Funds from such penalties form part of the income to the community.

Community Usage Charge Payment

You will receive your annual/quarterly (as applicable) Community Usage Charge invoice from the Dubai Land Department on their online integrated system called Mollak , which reflects the Community Usage Charge approved by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA).

You can settle these charges via a variety of easy payment methods:
