Introduction
Buying a property is a major investment, and ensuring it is free from defects is crucial. Building snagging inspections help identify construction flaws that could lead to costly repairs. Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or developer, a thorough snagging inspection ensures your property meets quality standards before handover.
At Dubai Property Snagging ®, our expert inspectors conduct detailed snagging assessments to detect defects and ensure the highest quality of workmanship.
Why Building Snagging Inspections Are Essential
Without proper snagging, hidden issues in a building may go unnoticed, leading to:
✅ Expensive Repairs – Small defects can worsen over time, resulting in higher maintenance costs.
✅ Safety Hazards – Structural defects, electrical faults, and plumbing leaks can pose serious risks.
✅ Reduced Property Value – Unaddressed issues can lower the resale or rental value of the property.
✅ Legal Disputes – Failure to report defects during the Defect Liability Period (DLP) can make developers unaccountable for repairs.
Common Issues Found During Building Snagging Inspections
1. Structural Defects
🔸 Cracks in walls, ceilings, or floors due to improper curing or foundation shifts.

2. Plumbing Problems
🔸 Low water pressure in faucets and showers.
🔸 Leaking pipes leading to water damage and mold growth.
