Frequently Asked Questions
1. When is the time to conduct snagging?
Snagging is usually done right before the handover stage, once construction is finished. This allows you to record defects while the developer is still responsible for corrections.
2. How much does a property snagging inspection cost?
Pricing typically ranges from AED 0.25 to AED 1.5 per sq. ft., depending on property size and inspection type. Call us for a tailored quote.
3. How does Lex Estates' Snagging Inspection approach Villa, Townhouse, and Apartment Inspections differently?
Each property type has a different inspection scope and duration. Apartments focus on interior finishes and utilities, townhouses include limited external checks, and villas receive full structural, interior, exterior, and system evaluations.
4. What snagging inspections do you recommend when selling, buying, or renting a property?
Sellers benefit from pre-listing inspections to increase property value and reduce negotiation issues. Buyers and renters should choose pre-move-in inspections to document the property’s condition and avoid deposit disputes later.
5. How does a new build snagging inspection differ from a post-renovation snagging inspection?
New build snagging holds the developer accountable before handover. Post-renovation snagging checks contractor work before final payment. Both protect you by ensuring the work meets agreed quality standards.
6. How long does a property snagging inspection typically take?
The inspection time depends on property size and complexity. It may take a few hours for apartments and longer for villas. The process is not rushed to ensure thorough checking.
7. Do DEWA and utilities need to be connected?
Yes, utilities must be active to inspect electrical, AC, plumbing, and gas systems correctly. Without working utilities, important testing and performance checks cannot be completed accurately.
