Three things most snagging companies in Dubai won't do.

The report lands the same day

Not in 24 to 48 hours. Handover paperwork moves fast, and a report that arrives after you've signed is worth a fraction of one that arrives before.

Re-inspection is already paid for

When the developer says the defects are fixed, we come back and check. That second visit is part of your fee. Most companies here bill it again.

We only work for buyers

We take no work from developers or contractors, so there is nothing to soften. The report says what we found.

Inspections we carry out

Six services, each built around a different moment in a property's life. Most owners come to us for the first one.

MOST BOOKED

New handover snagging

Inspected before you sign for the property, so every defect stays the developer's responsibility.

TIME LIMITED

Defect liability period inspection

Your one-year warranty is running. We find what is still claimable before it expires.

Read more

BEFORE YOU BUY

Resale property inspection

What the listing photos and the viewing will not tell you about a secondary-market property.

Read more

BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT

Post-renovation and fit-out inspection

Verify your contractor's work against what was agreed, before the final invoice is settled.

Read more

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS

Rental, move-in and move-out inspection

An independent condition record for long-term tenancies that settles deposit disputes before they start.

Read more

OFFICES AND RETAIL

Commercial property inspection

Offices, retail units and warehouses inspected to the same standard as residential handovers.

Read more

SHORT-TERM RENTALS

Holiday home & Airbnb inspection

Turnover condition reports for short-term rental units, between guests or at the start of a let.

ONLY AT INSPECTO

Formaldehyde screening

Indoor air testing for formaldehyde in newly built and newly fitted-out properties.

Every defect is graded, not just listed

A list of two hundred faults with no priority attached is not much use to a developer. Yours arrives sorted, so the things that matter get fixed first.

CRITICAL

Safety, water and structure

Electrical faults, active leaks, failed waterproofing, drainage running the wrong way. Raised first, and we expect these fixed before you accept the property.

FUNCTIONAL

It works, but not as it should

Doors that will not close properly, weak water pressure, air conditioning missing its temperature differential, hollow tiling that will crack inside a year.

COSMETIC

Finish quality

Paint runs, chipped skirting, misaligned joinery, grouting. Individually small, collectively the difference between a property that feels finished and one that does not.

What an inspection covers

Every system in the property, documented with photographs and a location reference, graded so your developer can act on it without a conversation about what you meant.

Structure & finishes

Walls, ceilings, floors, skirting, paint, tile levels and hollow tiling.

Doors & joinery

Alignment, sealing, locks, handles, wardrobes and built-in cabinetry.

Plumbing

Water pressure, drainage, leaks, traps, heaters, bathroom and kitchen fittings.

Electrical

Sockets, switches, DB board, earthing, lighting circuits and outdoor points.

HVAC

Air flow, temperature differential, condensation, ducting and drainage lines.

Waterproofing

Bathrooms, roofs, terraces, balconies and external wall junctions.

External areas

Landscaping, irrigation, boundary walls, garage, driveway and drainage falls.

Thermal imaging

Hidden leaks, damp behind finishes, missing insulation and overheating electrical points a visual check cannot find.

Inspected by people who have built here.

Our Chief Technical Officer, Sami Idbies, came from real estate development and contracting before moving to inspection. He knows where corners get cut because he has watched them being cut.

That is the difference between a checklist and an inspection.

What owners say afterwards

★★★★★

“Really happy with the service from Inspecto Handover. The inspection was very professional and thorough, and they picked up on a lot of small details that I would have easily missed myself. The report was clear, detailed and well organised, with photos and explanations for every issue. It made the whole handover process much easier and gave me confidence that everything had been properly checked.”

“The stress and uncertainty that often come with buying an apartment were made much more comfortable and reassuring thanks to your exceptional team. They were highly professional, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout the entire process, which gave me great confidence that I was making the right decision. Their attention to even the smallest details, combined with their clear and transparent explanations, made the whole experience smooth, comfortable, and completely hassle-free.”

See the report before you book.

A real Inspecto report with the client details removed. Photographs, location references and severity grading — the same document your developer will receive.

Questions owners ask

When should I book the inspection?

Before you sign the handover documents. Defects recorded at that point remain the developer's responsibility, and that is where your leverage is highest. Once you have signed, the conversation gets considerably harder.

I have already moved in. Is it too late?

No. New properties carry a one-year builder's warranty on workmanship. A post-handover inspection identifies what is still claimable so you can raise it before the window closes rather than paying for repairs yourself.

How long does an inspection take?

Two to four hours for most apartments, longer for villas and townhouses, depending on size and how much there is to record.

What do I actually receive?

A photographic report listing every defect with a location reference and a severity grade, in a format you can submit to the developer directly without rewriting it.

Is the re-inspection really included?

Yes. Once the developer completes the fixes, message us and we return to verify the work. It is part of the original fee.

Do you inspect outside Dubai?

Yes, across all seven Emirates. Travel outside Dubai may affect scheduling, so give us as much notice as you can.

Handover date already set?

Message us with your community and unit type and we will confirm availability and a fixed price the same day.
