Snag Rectification and De-Snagging in Dubai

What happens after the report. We explain your rectification options and how to get the developer to close out every snag, on record.

WeSnag inspector documenting a defect for rectification

From snag list to closed out, the right way

A snag list only has value if the snags actually get fixed and signed off. Rectification, sometimes called de snagging, is the process of getting every logged defect resolved and verified. WeSnag stays independent through this stage, which protects you.

In most cases the correct route is simple. Your defects are the developer responsibility during the defect liability period, so you submit the WeSnag report and the developer rectifies at their cost. We can guide you on how to submit, what to insist on, and what a proper close out looks like.

Where the developer is slow, or where you own a resale unit outside any warranty, you may choose to engage an independent contractor to carry out the fixes. WeSnag arranges independent rectification separately from the inspection, so the report always stays honest. We inspect first, rectification is arranged after, never bundled.

How WeSnag supports rectification

  • A snag list formatted for direct submission to the developer
  • Guidance on your rights during the defect liability period
  • Clear severity grading so priorities are obvious
  • A re inspection once the developer says the work is done
  • A close out report confirming what was fixed and what was not
  • Independent rectification arranged separately where you want it

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.

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

Do you fix the snags yourselves+
Our inspection service does not. We keep the report independent. Where you want the work done, we can arrange independent rectification as a separate engagement, after the report, never bundled into it.
What is de snagging+
De snagging is the rectification stage, the process of closing out every defect on the snag list and verifying the fix. It follows the snagging inspection.
Will you re inspect after the developer fixes the snags+
Yes. A re inspection verifies each logged defect and produces a close out report for your records. Re inspections start from AED 500.
What if the developer refuses to fix a defect+
A documented, graded, independent report is your strongest position. We tell you which defects are clearly the developer responsibility during the liability period so you can escalate with evidence.
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.

Take the keys knowing everything.
