Frequently Asked Questions

What is snagging?

A detailed inspection of a newly built property that identifies defects such as cracks, faulty wiring, poor finishing and plumbing issues, documented before the buyer signs the handover acceptance.

Should I snag before handover or during the defect liability period?

Ideally both. Once before signing the handover acceptance, which is the main leverage point, and again near the end of the 12-month non-structural liability period to catch defects that appear later.

How long does a Dubai developer have to fix defects?

Under Dubai Law No. 6 of 2019 (Article 40), developers carry a 10-year liability for structural defects from the date of the completion certificate, and a 1-year liability for non-structural, MEP and finishing defects from the handover date. Most snagging findings fall inside that one-year window.

What does a snag report contain?

High-resolution photos of each defect, a written description, a severity rating and a location reference, formatted so the developer's rectification team can action it.

Is snagging mandatory in Dubai?

No, it is not required by law. But signing the handover acceptance certificate without an independent, documented inspection means accepting the unit in its delivered condition, which weakens your position when defects surface later.
