What is a snagging inspection and does the manager arrange it?
Snagging is a pre-handover inspection documenting construction defects before you sign the handover certificate, so the developer fixes them free. Dubai developers carry a defect-liability period — typically 1 year for mechanical, electrical and plumbing, and 10 years for structural defects. A manager can arrange a professional snag (roughly AED 1,500-3,500) and log every defect with photos.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
