Handover Inspection in Dubai

Inspect before you sign for the keys. The one inspection taken at the point of maximum leverage, so the developer fixes everything before you accept.

WeSnag handover inspection at a Dubai property

Why the handover inspection is the one that counts

The moment before you sign the handover is the single point where you have the most leverage over your developer. Sign, and you have accepted the property in its current condition. Inspect first, and every defect becomes the developer problem to fix, at their cost, before you take the keys.

A WeSnag handover inspection, sometimes called a pre handover inspection or a new build snagging survey, is a full independent check carried out before you accept the unit. We produce a snag list the same day and you get the full report within 24 hours, in time to raise it with the developer before you sign.

This is the highest value inspection we do, because it changes the outcome. Buyers who inspect before handover routinely get dozens of defects fixed for free. Buyers who sign first spend months chasing the same fixes, often at their own cost.

What we check before you sign

  • Every room against a 200 point method
  • All electrical, plumbing and air conditioning systems

  • Doors, windows, glazing, locks and seals

Why WeSnag

Built to protect your money, not to sell you repairs.

Truly independent

We only inspect. We never sell the repairs we find, so nothing in the report is written to win rectification work. It works for you and no one else.

Thermal imaging included

A calibrated thermal camera on every visit, at no extra cost, to catch concealed moisture and overheating circuits before they cost you.

Report within 24 hours

Every defect graded, located and photographed, delivered in a format you can hand straight to your developer, in a day.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

When exactly should I book the handover inspection+
As soon as your developer gives you a handover date, and always before you sign the acceptance. Book a few days ahead so we can secure a slot and get you the report in time.
What if I have already signed the handover+
You are still protected during the defect liability period, usually 12 months. Book a snagging inspection now so the developer fixes defects at their cost before that window closes.
Will the developer accept your report+
Yes. Our reports are formatted with photographs, severity grading and locations so the developer or community management can action them directly.
How fast can you attend+
Often within a day or two. Message us on WhatsApp with your handover date and we will confirm the earliest slot.
Which areas of Dubai do you cover+
Dubai and across the UAE, including Dubai Hills Estate, Business Bay, JVC, Dubai Creek Harbour, Damac Hills 2, Tilal Al Ghaf and Arabian Ranches 3. Message us with your community and we confirm a slot.
How do I book an inspection+
Message us on WhatsApp or call +971 56 678 4803 with your property type, size and handover date. We confirm the price and the earliest slot, usually within a day or two.
