How Much Does Snagging Cost in Dubai

What a snagging inspection costs in Dubai in 2026, what changes the price, and how to tell a fair quote from a false economy.

WeSnag inspector at a Dubai villa

Snagging inspection prices in Dubai vary widely, and the cheapest quote is rarely the best value. In 2026 you will see everything from a few hundred dirhams for a rushed studio walkthrough to several thousand for a large villa with a thorough method.

Typical price ranges

  • Apartments, roughly AED 800 to AED 2,500 depending on size
  • Townhouses, roughly AED 1,500 to AED 3,000
  • Villas, roughly AED 2,000 to AED 5,000 depending on size and systems

What changes the price

  • Property size and number of rooms and wet areas
  • Whether thermal imaging is included or charged extra
  • How thorough the method is, and how long the inspector spends
  • Whether a re inspection is included or separate

What WeSnag charges

WeSnag apartments start from AED 850, townhouses from AED 1,800, villas from AED 2,200, and re inspections from AED 500. Thermal imaging is included on every visit. See the full price list.

A cheap inspection that misses a concealed leak or a wiring fault is the most expensive inspection you can buy. Judge on method and independence, not price alone.

Is it worth it

Almost always. A single defect fixed by the developer for free, that you would otherwise have paid to repair, usually covers the inspection several times over. And the report only works if it is independent, which is why WeSnag never sells the repairs it finds.

Thermal imaging included. Report within 24 hours. We only inspect, we never sell the repairs.
