Technical property inspection — before you sign the handover
Snagging is a professional technical inspection of a new property carried out before the official handover from the developer. The goal is to identify all defects, unfinished work, and deviations from agreed specifications — before you sign the handover protocol and accept the property as defect-free.
In Dubai, snagging is a standard step for experienced investors. Once you sign, it becomes significantly more difficult to claim repairs that were not documented. Snagging saves you time, money, and stress.
Visual inspection of all surfaces — walls, ceilings, floors, tiles, windows, doors
Inspection of installations — electricity, plumbing, air conditioning, ventilation
Testing of appliances, sockets, switches, and fixtures
Verification against project documentation and developer specifications
Full documentation of issues with photos and descriptions
Preparation of a snagging report — formal defect list submitted to the developer
Follow-up on repairs and verification of completion
Every developer aims to complete and hand over properties as quickly as possible. Without an independent inspection, minor issues — hidden cracks, uneven finishes, poor ventilation, or low-quality workmanship — can easily be overlooked, leaving you to handle them later at your own expense.
We offer snagging services for all clients taking over a new property in Dubai — regardless of where it was purchased. If you are about to receive your property and want certainty that you are getting what you paid for, contact us.
