What is a snagging inspection in Dubai?

A snagging inspection in Dubai is a detailed quality check of a newly built property to identify defects, poor workmanship, and incomplete items before you accept the unit from the developer.

What inspectors typically check

Ample Inspections provides inspection-only services — no repairs, no contracting — so findings stay independent. We typically check structural and finishing defects, walls and joinery, electrical and plumbing, HVAC, doors and windows, plus balconies and accessible exterior interfaces.

Apartment snagging emphasises kitchens, bathrooms, AC, and balcony seals. Villa snagging adds outdoor areas and waterproofing details that show up after the first rains in communities like Mudon and Dubai Hills.

What you receive in the report

You receive a comprehensive snag list with photographic evidence and clear documentation, usually within 24–48 hours. This helps the developer rectify issues while warranty and handover obligations still apply.

Fees typically start from AED 699 depending on property type and size. Share your community, unit number, and preferred date on WhatsApp for a confirmed quote.

When to book snagging in Dubai

Book before final handover and before signing completion documents. Active corridors such as Mudon Al Ranim, Nad Al Sheba, Business Bay, and Dubai Hills fill quickly during keys release.
