Tilal Al Ghaf has townhouses and villas on different plot sizes, so the options depend on your home. Popular changes are open kitchens, an extra room, a pool, garden shade and a facade refresh.
I Just Bought a Villa in Tilal Al Ghaf: What Can I Change?
A lot, with approval. Tilal Al Ghaf has newer villas and townhouses around a lagoon, in neighbourhoods such as Harmony, Elan, Aura and Serenity. Owners add rooms, pools, pergolas and open kitchens. Each change needs the Majid Al Futtaim NOC first, then the DDA permit for structural works.

- Villa plans: use the plans from your handover documents; if you do not have them, we survey the villa
