Villa inspection and snagging in Dubai
A villa has far more to inspect than an apartment — multiple floors and, where included in the agreed scope and safely accessible, the roof, external walls, garden, boundary walls and often a private pool or plant room. Fedari Inspection carries out an independent villa inspection across the agreed internal and accessible external areas, documenting relevant visible findings in the build, finishing and services so you have clear evidence for follow-up with the responsible party, subject to the applicable contract and process.
What we inspect
- Agreed accessible floors, staircases and internal rooms
- Safe and accessible roof areas, parapets and visible external walls, where included in the confirmed scope
- Garden, driveway, boundary walls and gates where included in the agreed scope and safely accessible
- Windows, doors, shutters and external glazing
- Kitchen, bathrooms, joinery and built-in wardrobes
- Functional water flow and pressure observations where safe access and operating conditions allow across floors
- Electrical distribution board, sockets and fittings
- Air-conditioning units, airflow and condensate
- Visible observations of accessible pool plant and equipment where included — not a specialist pool, water-quality or system-performance certification
Who this is for
- Buyers taking handover of a new villa or townhouse
- Owners nearing the end of the villa's defect liability period
- Families who want the safe, accessible areas of the property checked before moving in
Property types
Equipment we use
- Moisture meters for roofs, wet areas and external walls

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.
Villa inspections are visual and non-destructive. Areas that are unsafe or inaccessible on the day — such as certain roof sections or locked plant rooms — are noted as not inspected.
Pricing
A standard villa inspection starts from AED 2,499. Large or non-standard villas (extra floors, basements, large plots or specialist areas) are priced as a fixed quote after a short scope review.
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
How long does a villa inspection take?
It depends on the size and number of floors, but villas generally take longer than apartments because of the additional external and roof areas.
Do you inspect the pool and garden?
We inspect accessible external areas and visible pool plant. Specialist pool or landscaping certification is outside the scope of a visual inspection.
