#1 Apartment Snagging Dubai | Pre-Handover Inspection Experts

Buying an apartment in Dubai should be exciting — not stressful. Yet many owners discover hidden defects only after moving in. At Dubai Property Snagging ®, we prevent that disappointment with our certified pre-handover apartment inspections, exposing every construction flaw before you take possession.

We are RERA-approved, DED-licensed, and InterNACHI-accredited, delivering complete snagging reports within 6 hours on the same day — the fastest, most trusted inspection service in the UAE.

🏠 What Is Apartment Snagging?

Apartment snagging is the detailed inspection of a new or renovated unit before handover. Our engineers assess every aspect of your property — mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), finishing, and structural — ensuring everything meets Dubai’s quality standards and your developer’s specifications.

Typical apartment issues we uncover:

  • Air-conditioning leakage behind ceilings
  • Cracked wall plaster and uneven paint finish
  • Loose sockets or overloaded power circuits
  • Low water pressure in bathrooms and kitchens
  • Incomplete silicone sealing around windows or balcony doors
  • Uneven tiles and damaged grout lines

By addressing these during the Defect Liability Period (DLP), you ensure the developer covers the cost — not you.
