Resale property inspection before purchase in Dubai
Buying a resale or second-hand property means the developer warranty may be limited or expired, so the condition you buy is largely the condition you keep. Fedari Inspection carries out an independent pre-purchase inspection that documents the true condition of the property — wear, previous repairs, damp, and the state of the finishing and services — so you can negotiate with full information before you commit.
What we inspect
- General condition and signs of wear or ageing
- Evidence of previous repairs or ongoing damp
- Walls, ceilings, floors and visible cracking
- Doors, windows and seals
- Kitchen and bathroom condition and sealant
- Functional water flow and pressure observations where safe access and operating conditions allow
- Electrical fittings and visible wiring condition
- Air-conditioning age, performance and airflow
Who this is for
- Buyers of resale apartments, villas and townhouses
- Investors assessing a property before purchase
- Anyone who wants an independent condition report to negotiate price

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.
Resale inspections are visual and non-destructive and reflect condition on the inspection date only. They are not a structural engineering certification or a property valuation.
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
Why inspect a resale property?
Because the warranty may have expired — an inspection reveals the true condition, previous repairs and hidden problems before you buy, so there are no expensive surprises later.
Can the report help me negotiate?
Yes. A documented, independent condition report gives you factual grounds to renegotiate price or ask the seller to address issues before completion.
