Property snagging helps buyers, investors, landlords and tenants identify defects, poor workmanship and unfinished items before handover, move-in or occupancy. In a fast-moving real estate market, it gives you a clearer picture of the property’s condition and helps protect your investment before issues become harder to resolve. In Dubai, Article 40(b) of Law No. 6 of 2019 provides a one-year post-handover liability period for defective installations. A snagging inspection during this period helps you identify and document outstanding issues in a clear report, making it easier to raise them with the developer while rectification is still their responsibility.

A property snagging inspection is a detailed review of the property to identify defects, finish issues, visible installation problems and incomplete works. The findings are recorded in a structured snagging report so the relevant issues can be raised before handover or occupation.

The best time is before final handover or before you move in. In most cases, your developer will inform you when the property is ready for orientation or inspection. That is usually the right stage to arrange the snagging inspection.

Inspection time depends on the size, layout and condition of the property. Smaller units may take a few hours, while larger or more complex properties can take most of the day. A proper inspection should not be rushed, as every area needs to be checked carefully.

No. You do not need to be present for the inspection to be completed. We can carry out the inspection and deal with the relevant parties where possible. That said, if you would like to attend or visit the property during the process, you are welcome to do so.

Report timing depends on the size of the property and the number of defects identified. In most cases, reports are issued within 12 working hours, and sometimes sooner.

Our reports are designed to give you a clear record of the property’s condition. They include written observations, photographs and detailed notes for the issues identified during the inspection, so the findings are easy to review and raise with the developer or contractor.

We document defects systematically using written descriptions and supporting photographs, and sometimes video where appropriate. This helps create a clear and practical report that shows exactly what has been found and where.

Once the inspection is complete, we prepare the snagging report with the defects and observations identified on site. That report can then be used as the basis for rectification and follow-up with the developer or contractor. Where possible, we can also submit it directly on your behalf.

Yes. For a more complete inspection, utilities should be connected before the appointment. This includes electricity, AC and gas where applicable, so key systems can be checked properly.

Common findings can include paint and finish defects, tiling issues, plumbing concerns, electrical faults, fitting problems, damaged doors or windows, ventilation issues and unfinished works. Every property is different, so the exact findings will vary from one inspection to another.

You can, but a professional inspection is strongly recommended. An experienced snagging inspector is more likely to notice workmanship issues, defects and incomplete items that may be missed during a casual walkthrough, and the final report provides an independent record of what was found.
