Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the answers to questions we are often asked about our Snagging and Inspection services.
What does property snagging involve?
Property snagging is the careful inspection of a property to identify any defects, imperfections, or incomplete work. This process results in a detailed snagging report, which ensures that the property meets the necessary standards and is in excellent condition before it is handed over to the new owner or tenant. By addressing these issues early on, you can ensure a smooth transition into your new home without any unexpected surprises.
What is de-snagging?
De-snagging involves a follow-up inspection to confirm that defects identified in the initial snagging report have been rectified by the contractor. This inspection ensures that all issues have been properly addressed and that the remedial work meets the required standards, verifying the property is ready for handover or occupancy.
When is the right time to contact a property snagging company?
The best time to engage a property snagging company is before you take final possession of your new property. This ensures there's enough time for a comprehensive inspection and for any necessary repairs to be made. Typically, your developer will inform you when it's time for snagging and orientation—at that point, it’s the perfect time to reach out to us.
Is it required for DEWA and utilities to be connected?
For us to carry out a thorough inspection, it’s essential that all utilities, such as DEWA, air conditioning, and gas, are already connected. This ensures we can check everything comprehensively.
What types of issues are commonly identified during property snagging inspections ?
During a property snagging inspection, various issues can arise. You might encounter paint imperfections or problems with tiling. Plumbing concerns such as leaky pipes and low water pressure are often found. Electrical problems, including faulty wiring and broken outlets, are also common. Insufficient insulation can be an issue, leading to discomfort. Defective doors, windows, and other fixtures may be present. Poor ventilation is another potential problem. In some cases, you might even find unfinished construction tasks. Each property is unique, so the specific issues can vary greatly.
How do you record and report snagging issues?
Our systematic process involves detailed written descriptions, along with photos and videos to capture each defect. We use advanced software commonly adopted by Dubai developers, ensuring our reports are clear and easily understood by contractors, facilitating efficient rectification.
What is the typical duration of a property snagging inspection?
The duration of a property snagging inspection can vary based on the size and intricacy of the property. Generally, a detailed inspection might take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. It’s important to give the inspection enough time to ensure every corner is thoroughly checked and all issues are identified.
Must I be present during the snag inspection?
No, you don't need to be there. Our engineer will take care of the inspection and coordinate with the developer on your behalf. However, if you'd like to visit your new property, you're more than welcome to stop by!
Why is property snagging essential in UAE?
In UAE’s bustling real estate scene, ensuring your property is free from defects is crucial. Given the rapid pace of construction, a thorough snagging process helps identify and address any issues, ensuring that your investment is secure and that you can enjoy your new property without any unexpected surprises.
Do you provide snagging services in other Emirates?
Yes, indeed!
Is it possible for me to carry out a snagging inspection by myself?
While it's possible to inspect your property yourself, enlisting a professional snagging company offers numerous benefits. Experts have the knowledge and keen eye needed to detect even the smallest flaws. They provide a detailed and unbiased report, helping you ensure any necessary repairs are made before you move in.
When can I expect to receive my report?
We typically deliver your snagging report within 24 working hours. The exact timing depends on the property's size and the issues uncovered. Often, you'll have your report even sooner!
Once the snagging process is completed, what are the next steps?
Once the snagging inspection is done, we put together a detailed report that lists all identified issues, complete with photographs and descriptions. We then submit this report directly to the developer or contractor, where possible. This document serves as the foundation for addressing the identified issues, ensuring they are resolved before you take possession of the property.
In what ways can a property snagging company assist me?
Engaging a property snagging company brings in experts who meticulously inspect your property. They examine everything from the foundation to the final touches, ensuring it meets high-quality standards. Their comprehensive snagging report highlights any issues, providing you with the opportunity to address them before moving in or taking ownership.
Do you provide property snagging services for existing properties?
While snagging services are often associated with new builds, they aren't limited to them. Older properties and those undergoing renovations can benefit greatly from a snagging inspection. Whether you’re buying a brand-new home, an off-plan property, or an existing house, a professional snagging inspection can uncover any issues, ensuring the property meets your standards before you move in.
