What is a VSR in Nakheel communities?
A VSR is Nakheel's Villa Status Report. It shows unapproved changes to the villa, which need fixing before a sale.
The short answer
A VSR is the Villa Status Report from Nakheel. It shows the status of the villa against the approved drawings, including any unapproved changes such as extensions, enclosures or structures. Unapproved changes shown on the VSR need fixing, through approval or removal, before the villa is sold. Structural Solutions surveys the villa, prepares the drawings and calculations, and handles the Nakheel NOC and the Trakhees permit to regularise the works.
