What are the most common defects found in new Dubai properties?

Frequent findings include misaligned or poorly fitted doors and cabinetry, patchy paintwork, tile and grouting flaws, water leaks, and AC or drainage faults. Inspectors also catch electrical earthing issues, plumbing non-conformances and smoke-detector commissioning failures. Many stay hidden until after move-in, which is why a pre-handover inspection matters despite developers marketing high-end finishes.
