Pest problems are easier to prevent than to solve, so ask about them at the viewing rather than after you move in. Find out whether the building or community runs a regular pest control programme, how often treatments take place and how to request a visit for your own unit. Ask who pays for a treatment inside the home and what preparation is needed beforehand. Preparation can mean storing food away, covering kitchen items and keeping pets out for a period. Example: a family in an Al Ghadeer apartment notices a few insects near the kitchen drain in the first month. Reporting it in writing straight away, with a photo, gets a treatment booked before the problem spreads to neighbouring units. Prepared by Masterpiece Property.

Mark what you already hold, what needs your a
