The short answer
Professional snagging inspections in Dubai start from AED 799 for a studio apartment and from AED 999 for a one-bedroom apartment. Townhouses start from AED 1,999 and villas from AED 2,499. Penthouses, large villas and commercial properties are quoted individually after a scope review.
These are starting prices, not a flat rate. The table below shows the guide prices by property type — your confirmed quote is fixed before any booking is accepted, so you always know the exact fee in advance.
What affects the price
Five factors determine where your property sits within — or above — the guide range:
- Property type: an apartment inspection is priced differently from a townhouse or villa, which includes safe, accessible external areas
- Built-up area and room count: more rooms and larger floor areas take more inspection time
- Location and access: community, parking, permits and developer access procedures affect scheduling
- Furnished status: a furnished-unit scope includes basic accessible checks of installed appliances and visible furniture condition
- Agreed scope: external areas, roofs or specialist items are included only where expressly confirmed in the quotation
What the fee includes
The fee covers the full on-site inspection within the agreed scope and a photo-led report delivered within 8 hours after the inspection is completed. Every finding is documented with photographs, a room-by-room location and a severity label — Critical, Major, Minor or Advisory — so the report is ready to share with your developer or seller.
There are no hidden charges: the fee confirmed in your accepted quotation is the fee you pay. If the property turns out to differ from what was described — for example a much larger built-up area — any change is discussed with you before the inspection proceeds.
Reinspection pricing
After the developer or contractor reports items as rectified, a reinspection visually reviews the apparent status of the previously reported items. Reinspections start from AED 399. A reinspection is a focused service: it reviews the earlier findings, and it is not a certification that concealed work was completed correctly.

Is the cheapest inspection the best value?
Price matters, but compare what is included: the number of checkpoints, whether the report is photo-led with severity labels, how quickly it is delivered, and whether the inspection is independent and the company licensed. Fedari is a licensed building inspection company (UAE trade licence 1647070), acts only for the client, and delivers the report within 8 hours of the completed inspection — that combination is what the fee buys.

Final pricing depends on property type, built-up area, location, access, external areas and the agreed inspection scope. Fedari confirms the fixed fee before the booking is accepted.
