Resale Property Inspections Before Purchase in Dubai
Before buying an existing apartment, villa or townhouse, obtain an independent record of its observable condition. Fedari documents relevant visible wear, signs of previous repairs, moisture indications and accessible finishing or service concerns within the agreed inspection scope.
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.
Arrange lawful access, any required building or developer permission, and operating electricity, water and air conditioning. In Dubai, confirm that the required DEWA connections are active. Tell us about any uncommissioned systems or access restrictions before booking so we can confirm what can be checked.
Pricing
Final pricing depends on property type, built-up area, location, access, external areas and the agreed inspection scope. Your exact fixed fee and inspection scope are confirmed before booking.
Frequently asked questions
Why inspect a resale property?
An independent visual inspection provides a documented record of relevant observable concerns before purchase. This can support questions to the seller or further investigation; it does not eliminate all purchase risk.
Will the inspection find hidden problems?
The inspection is limited to safely accessible, visible conditions within the agreed scope. Concealed defects may remain undetected. Where visible signs suggest a concern outside that scope, further specialist investigation may be recommended.
Is this a valuation or structural survey?
No. It is a visual, non-destructive property-condition inspection, not a valuation, structural engineering survey or guarantee that the property is defect-free.
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.
