    "content_md": "A snagging inspection is a two to four hour walk through your new apartment or villa before you sign the handover form. We check 110 points, photograph every defect, hand you a numbered report the same day and submit it to the developer on your behalf. You keep the one-year and ten-year developer liability under Article 40 of Dubai Law No. 6 of 2019, with the evidence to use it.\n\n## What is included\n\n- Inspection of all 110 points from our [handover checklist](/articles/snagging-checklist-dubai/): doors, windows, walls, floors, plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, kitchen, bathrooms, balcony and common areas.\n- Socket tester, water pressure and drainage tests, level and slope checks, moisture meter on wet areas.\n- Thermal imaging of ceilings below AC units and wet areas (optional add-on) to find hidden leaks and missing insulation.\n- Numbered PDF report with wide and close-up photos, severity for every item and the article of law that applies.\n- Submission of the snag list to the developer through its official channel, with delivery confirmation and a written rectification schedule request.\n- Re-inspection after repairs (optional add-on) and a reminder in month eleven of the defect liability period.\n- Key collection by power of attorney for owners abroad (optional add-on).\n\n## How it works\n\n1. You send us the completion notice and the unit details. We book the slot inside the developer’s inspection window; in Q4 handover season book two to three weeks ahead.\n2. The inspector, a certified partner company working under our contract, meets the developer’s representative at the unit. You deal with us: one contract, one invoice, one point of contact. DEWA and district cooling must be active in your name; we tell you how to do it.\n3. Two to four hours on site for an apartment, four to eight for a villa. You can attend in person or follow by video call.\n4. Report within 24 hours. You decide which items go to the developer; we file the list and chase the written schedule.\n5. Re-inspection once the developer reports the repairs done. You sign the handover form only when critical items are closed.\n\n## Prices\n\nFixed prices, no hourly billing. All prices exclude 5% VAT. Use the calculator below for an instant quote; the final price is confirmed in writing before the visit.\n\n| Unit type | Inspection, AED | On site |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Studio | 749 | about 2 hours |\n| 1 bedroom | 899 | 2 to 3 hours |\n| 2 bedrooms | 1,199 | 3 hours |\n| 3 bedrooms | 1,499 | 3 to 4 hours |\n| 4 bedrooms or penthouse | 1,899 | 4 hours |\n| Townhouse | 1,899 | 4 to 5 hours |\n| Villa | from 2,599 | 5 to 8 hours |\n\nAdd-ons: thermal imaging 400 AED, re-inspection visit 40% of the inspection price, key collection by power of attorney 350 AED. Villas above 5,000 sq ft are quoted individually.\n\n### Snagging inspection price calculator\n\n- Unit type\n- Villa area, sq ft\n\nAdd-ons\n\n| Inspection | 1,199 AED |\n| --- | --- |\n| Subtotal excl. VAT | 1,199 AED |\n| VAT 5% | 60 AED |\n| Total | 1,259 AED |\n\nFixed price, confirmed in writing before the visit. Villas above 5,000 sq ft are priced at 0.9 AED per sq ft.\n\nBook this inspection\n\n## Why owners book us\n\n- We know the building before we arrive: our database holds the DLD transaction history, the developer’s handover record and the floor plans for 2,800 Dubai projects.\n- One contact for the whole chain: inspection, developer follow-up, DEWA and Ejari, and later renting or selling the unit through our agency.\n- Reports written for action by a certified inspection partner under our quality control: every item has a severity, a photo number and the clause to quote. Developers’ customer care teams accept them without rewriting.\n- Licensed real estate agency, RERA ORN 31933, office on Sheikh Zayed Road. You deal with a company that stays in Dubai after the handover.\n\n## Do it yourself instead?\n\nIf you prefer to inspect the unit yourself, download our free 110-point checklist with an inspection record and signature block. It is the same list the inspection is carried out against.\n\n## Questions\n\n### When should the inspection happen?\n\nAfter the completion notice and before you sign the handover form. Most developers give a window of about 30 days.\n\n### Can you inspect if I am abroad?\n\nYes. With a notarised power of attorney we attend the handover, collect the keys and send you the report and a video walk-through.\n\n### What if the developer refuses to fix an item?\n\nWe escalate in writing with reference to Article 40 of Law 6/2019, and if needed guide you through a RERA complaint via the Dubai REST app and the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre.\n\n### Is the price the same for a furnished unit?\n\nYes. Appliances and fitted furniture listed in the SPA are checked within the standard price.\n\n### How fast is the report?\n\nWithin 24 hours of the visit, usually the same evening.",
