Pre-Handover Inspection

A snagging service is a detailed inspection of a property to identify defects or imperfections that must be fixed before completion. These “snags” can range from minor cosmetic flaws to structural concerns. The goal is to ensure the property meets all quality, safety, and functionality standards. Developers use snagging inspections to assess the property’s condition and inform contractors of faults, unfinished work, poor workmanship, or other risks affecting ownership and enjoyment. A snag can be anything from a chipped tile or scratched glass to missing screws, door stoppers, or visible wall cracks.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is property snagging?

    Property snagging is a professional inspection service that identifies defects and incomplete work in new properties before or after handover.

  • When should I book a snagging inspection?

    Your developer will be calling you to schedule a viewing of the property before the handover of the keys. That is the moment you should bring us in to inspect the property and identify any defects.

  • How long does an inspection take?

    Typically 2 hours depending on property size, followed by a detailed report within 24 hours.

  • What areas do you inspect?

    We inspect everything: walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, plumbing, electrical, fixtures and finishes.

    Yes, we have experience with all major developers including Emaar, Damac, Meraas, Nakheel, Tilal Al Ghaf and more.

  • Is a Snagging Report Worth It?

    Absolutely. A snagging report offers a detailed summary of all defects identified during the inspection, categorized by severity and urgency. It helps developers prioritize and resolve the most critical problems quickly, ensuring the property meets the highest quality standards before handover. For reliable and accurate results, it’s best to hire professionals with the right expertise and experience.

  • What Is a Snagging Checklist?


    Our professional inspectors identify and photograph all defects in the property, compiling a detailed snagging list for the responsible party to fix. This includes the initial or follow-up inspection, checks of electrical outlets, air conditioning, water pressure, and drainage, as well as thermography and socket testing. We also ensure the property is fit for handover and provide images and defect details for full clarity.

  • Why Snagging Matters for Property Owners in Dubai & the UAE


    A property may appear flawless at first glance, but hidden defects can lead to costly repairs later. From structural cracks to malfunctioning AC systems, unnoticed problems can quickly add up. Our snagging inspection services across Dubai and the UAE help you detect these issues early, ensuring a smooth, stress-free handover with no surprise expenses.
