Pre-handover inspection in Dubai
The handover is the moment you formally accept your property. A Fedari pre-handover inspection documents visible and accessible findings before or around acceptance. The report gives the client structured photographic evidence for follow-up. Rectification and responsibility remain subject to the applicable contract, warranty terms and handover process.

Honest scope & limitations
Fedari provides a visual, non-destructive inspection of safe and accessible areas within the agreed scope. The inspection cannot guarantee the identification of every defect or concealed condition. Inaccessible areas and relevant limitations are noted in the report.
Pre-handover inspections are visual and non-destructive. We assess accessible areas on the day of inspection and cannot identify concealed defects behind completed finishes.
Pricing
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.
Frequently asked questions
When should the handover inspection happen?
Ideally, arrange the inspection before or around formal handover, subject to lawful access and the applicable developer process. This allows visible findings to be documented for timely follow-up.
Do I need to attend the inspection?
You are welcome to attend but it is not required. We only need safe, lawful access to the property.
What happens after I receive the report?
You submit the documented findings to the responsible party and track the response under the applicable handover, contract or warranty process. The report gives you clear, structured photographic evidence for that follow-up.
