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.

## What is included

- 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.
- Socket tester, water pressure and drainage tests, level and slope checks, moisture meter on wet areas.
- Thermal imaging of ceilings below AC units and wet areas (optional add-on) to find hidden leaks and missing insulation.
- Numbered PDF report with wide and close-up photos, severity for every item and the article of law that applies.
- Submission of the snag list to the developer through its official channel, with delivery confirmation and a written rectification schedule request.
- Re-inspection after repairs (optional add-on) and a reminder in month eleven of the defect liability period.
- Key collection by power of attorney for owners abroad (optional add-on).

## How it works

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Report within 24 hours. You decide which items go to the developer; we file the list and chase the written schedule.
5. Re-inspection once the developer reports the repairs done. You sign the handover form only when critical items are closed.

- 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.
- One contact for the whole chain: inspection, developer follow-up, DEWA and Ejari, and later renting or selling the unit through our agency.
- 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.
- Licensed real estate agency, RERA ORN 31933, office on Sheikh Zayed Road. You deal with a company that stays in Dubai after the handover.

## Questions

### When should the inspection happen?

After the completion notice and before you sign the handover form. Most developers give a window of about 30 days.

### Can you inspect if I am abroad?

Yes. With a notarised power of attorney we attend the handover, collect the keys and send you the report and a video walk-through.

### What if the developer refuses to fix an item?

We 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.

### Is the price the same for a furnished unit?

Yes. Appliances and fitted furniture listed in the SPA are checked within the standard price.

### How fast is the report?

Within 24 hours of the visit, usually the same evening.
