FAQ

Property Snagging FAQs

Clear answers about Dubai property snagging, handover inspections, defect reports, developer rectification, re-inspection, and how buyers can protect their property before accepting handover.

Property snagging is a detailed inspection of a new, newly completed, or recently handed-over property to identify visible defects, unfinished work, poor finishing, functional issues, and quality concerns before the buyer fully accepts the unit.
Property snagging is not always a formal legal requirement, but it is highly recommended before accepting handover. It helps buyers document defects clearly and request rectification from the developer or contractor before move-in, rental listing, or final acceptance.
The best time is after the developer issues the handover or inspection notice, but before you sign final acceptance or move into the property. This gives you more leverage to identify defects, submit the snagging report, and request rectification before taking full handover.
A snagging inspection usually checks walls, paintwork, ceilings, flooring, tiles, doors, windows, locks, balconies, bathrooms, kitchen fittings, cabinets, plumbing, drainage, water pressure, electrical points, lighting, AC performance, ventilation, appliances where included, fixtures, fittings, and visible workmanship.
A snagging report should include clear photos, defect descriptions, room-by-room findings, priority items, safety or functional concerns, finishing issues, and recommended follow-up points. The report helps the buyer submit a clear rectification request to the developer or contractor.
Yes, you can do a basic walkthrough yourself, but a professional snagging inspection is usually more detailed. Inspectors may notice issues that buyers often miss, such as poor drainage, hollow tiles, AC airflow problems, electrical faults, water pressure issues, alignment problems, and finishing defects.
Common defects can include paint marks, cracks, uneven surfaces, chipped tiles, hollow flooring, poor silicone finishing, misaligned doors, loose handles, leaking taps, drainage issues, weak water pressure, AC problems, electrical socket faults, damaged cabinets, scratched glass, balcony drainage problems, and poor workmanship.
In most new property handovers, the developer or contractor is expected to review the snagging list and complete approved rectifications according to the handover process, sale agreement, warranty terms, and defect liability arrangements. The exact responsibility depends on the property, contract, and type of defect.
Rectification time depends on the developer, property condition, number of defects, availability of materials, and whether the issues are cosmetic, functional, or major. Minor finishing items may be resolved faster, while plumbing, AC, waterproofing, or structural-related concerns can take longer.
Yes. A re-inspection is recommended after the developer or contractor confirms rectification. This helps ensure the reported items were actually corrected, no new damage was created during repairs, and the unit is ready for handover, move-in, or leasing.
Yes. Snagging helps protect your property by identifying defects early, reducing post-handover surprises, supporting better handover documentation, and helping maintain the property’s quality, rental readiness, and future resale appeal.
Before snagging, prepare your handover notice, unit details, floor plan if available, Sales and Purchase Agreement, finishing schedule, appliance list if included, parking and storage details if applicable, and any developer handover instructions. These help compare the delivered unit against what was agreed.
The defect liability period is the post-handover period during which certain defects may be reported for review or rectification according to the developer’s warranty terms and the sale agreement. Buyers should always check their SPA and handover documents because coverage, timelines, and exclusions can vary.
Snagging checks the physical condition, finishing quality, and functionality of the property. A valuation estimates the property’s market value. Snagging is about defects and handover quality, while valuation is about price and finance.
Snagging focuses mainly on visible defects, finishing issues, and functional checks. A full structural survey or engineering assessment is deeper and may be needed if there are major cracks, water damage, structural movement, safety concerns, or serious construction issues.
