Independent property inspection, Dubai and the UAE

Know exactly what you are signing for before you take the keys.

WeSnag inspects your new home before handover and finds the defects the developer should fix, at their cost, while you still have the leverage. We only inspect. We never sell the repairs.

Why timing matters

The developer fixes defects for free, but only inside your window.

New builds in Dubai come with a defect liability period, usually 12 months from handover. Report a fault inside that window and the developer fixes it at their cost. Miss it, and the bill becomes yours. WeSnag makes sure nothing is missed while you still hold the leverage.

At handover

Before you sign

The point of maximum leverage. We inspect first so you accept the keys knowing every fault, not after.

First 12 months

Defect liability period

We inspect again before the window closes, so the developer rectifies at their cost, not yours.

Any time

Resale and rentals

Independent condition checks for buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across the UAE.

What we check

One independent team for every inspection you need.

Handover inspection

Before you accept the keys from your developer. The most important inspection you will get, taken at the point of maximum leverage.

Defect liability inspection

Before your warranty window closes, so the developer fixes at their cost. We track the deadline so you do not miss it.

Building and property inspection

Full condition inspection for apartments, villas and townhouses, new or resale. Structure, systems and finishes.

Property snagging

The full room by room snag list that gets your developer to rectify every fault before you move in.

Snag rectification

What happens after the report. We explain your options and can arrange independent rectification once fixes are agreed.

Thermal imaging, as standard

Hidden moisture and overheating circuits do not show on the surface. We run a thermal camera on every inspection, at no extra cost.

Detection evidence

What thermal imaging reveals

Thermal scans and detection work from WeSnag inspections. Concealed moisture and overheating circuits do not show on the surface. Our thermal camera and detection tools find them.

The WeSnag difference

We work for you, not the developer and not a repair company.

Some inspection firms also sell you the repairs they find. That is a conflict. If the same company writes the report and quotes the fix, whose interest does it serve. WeSnag only inspects. Our report exists for one purpose, to get the developer to fix what they should fix, for free, before your warranty runs out.

We inspect. You decide.

FAQ

What owners ask us before booking.

When should I get a snagging inspection+
Before you sign the handover and accept the keys. That is when you have the most leverage. If you already took handover, book before your defect liability period ends so the developer still fixes faults at their cost.
Do you fix the defects you find+
No, and that is the point. We only inspect. Selling the repairs we find would be a conflict of interest. Our report is built to get the developer to rectify, for free, inside your warranty.
What is included in the report+
Every defect, photographed and graded by severity, mapped to the room, plus thermal imaging findings for hidden moisture and electrical hot spots. You get it within 24 hours in a format you can hand straight to your developer.
How long does an inspection take+
Most apartments take two to four hours and villas take longer, depending on size. We do not rush. We check every room, system and finish.
Which areas do you cover+
Dubai and across the UAE. Message us with your community and handover date and we will confirm a slot.

Take the keys knowing everything.

Book your WeSnag inspection before handover and let the developer fix the defects, not you.
