Property snagging inspection in Dubai
Snagging is a detailed, independent check of a newly built or newly finished property that lists every visible finding so it can be documented before — or shortly after — you take handover. Fedari Inspection inspects your Dubai home room by room, records each snag with photographs and a clear recommended next action, and hands you a report you can submit to the responsible party for follow-up under the applicable handover, contract or warranty 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.
Our snagging inspections are visual and non-destructive. We report on what is visible and accessible on the day and do not open, dismantle or damage any part of the property. Concealed defects behind finishes cannot always be identified through a visual inspection.
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.
