What does property snagging include in Dubai?
A Dubshy snagging inspection covers 400+ checkpoints across structural, electrical, plumbing, AC, finishing, carpentry, and external works. Every defect found is logged in a photo-documented report with severity ratings and developer action items.
How long does a snagging inspection take?
An on-site inspection typically takes 2–6 hours depending on property size and type; large villas or multi-storey units can take longer. The written report is delivered within 24–48 hours of the site visit.
How much does property snagging cost in Dubai?
Dubshy inspections start from AED 499, with final pricing depending on property size and service level. Clients typically save AED 45,000+ on average in developer-funded repairs, so the inspection usually pays for itself.
Do you inspect villas and apartments, or just handover units?
Dubshy inspects apartments, villas, townhouses, and commercial units for new handovers, DLP inspections, and resale or secondary-market purchases across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Who fixes the defects found during snagging?
The developer or contractor is responsible for rectifying defects identified in a pre-handover snagging report. Dubshy's documentation gives you the evidence needed to hold them accountable.
What's the difference between a snagging inspection and a DLP inspection?
A snagging inspection happens before or at handover to catch defects before you accept the property. A DLP (Defect Liability Period) inspection happens near the end of the developer's warranty window, to catch issues that appeared after move-in while the developer is still obligated to fix them.
Which areas in Dubai and Abu Dhabi does Dubshy cover?
Dubshy covers all major communities including Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Dubai Hills, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, JVC, DIFC, Meydan, Al Furjan, and Abu Dhabi, across developers such as Emaar, Damac, Nakheel, Sobha, and Aldar.
