In Dubai, property size directly impacts sale prices, rental rates, and ROI. Whether it’s a villa, apartment, or commercial unit, accurate measurements are essential to avoid overpayment and disputes. Yet, many buyers and tenants only rely on the advertised size, which may not reflect the actual usable space.
At Dubai Property Snagging ®, we’ve prepared a property measurement checklist to help landlords, tenants, and investors ensure accuracy before signing a contract.
✅ Property Measurement Checklist for Villas
- Plot Size Verification – Confirm land boundaries and total area.
- Built-Up Area (BUA): Include all enclosed spaces, balconies, and garages.
- Carpet Area: Verify the actual livable space inside walls.
- Room-by-Room Dimensions: Bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
- Ceiling Heights: Ensure promised heights match construction.
- Outdoor Areas: Balconies, terraces, patios, and gardens.
✅ Property Measurement Checklist for Apartments
- Carpet Area vs Built-Up Area: Ensure usable area matches the lease/sales contract.
- Balconies & Terraces: Verify separate measurements, not included in carpet area.
- Room Sizes: Check bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens against floor plans.
- Shared Areas: Ensure lobbies, staircases, and lifts are not counted in your private space.
- Ceiling Height & Volume: Particularly important in premium apartments.
✅ Property Measurement Checklist for Commercial Units
- Net Usable Office/Retail Space: Carpet area excluding walls and common corridors.
- Built-Up Area: Includes shared spaces, often advertised by developers.
- Ceiling Height & Volume: Critical for showrooms and warehouses.
- Loading/Service Areas: Verify dimensions for practical use.
- Parking Spaces: Ensure correct allocation and size.
- Compliance with RERA Standards: Measurements should meet Dubai Municipality guidelines.
Why This Checklist Matters
- Buyers: Avoid inflated prices from overestimated areas.
- Tenants: Pay rent only for actual usable space.
- Investors: Accurately calculate ROI and rental yields.
- Landlords/Developers: Build trust by advertising true sizes.
