We have had our reports disputed. Every inspection company that has been doing this long enough has. What matters is not whether it happens, because it will happen eventually on any given file. What matters is what happens next, and it is far more predictable than most owners assume. Here is the situation. You paid…
The contractor is standing in your hallway. The work is ninety-five per cent done, and the last five per cent is the part you look at every single day. He wants the final payment now, and the tone has shifted quietly from friendly to firm. Somewhere at the back of your mind is a thought…
You sent a list. Maybe thirty items, maybe fifty. A week later the reply lands, and half of it comes back marked “cosmetic”, “aesthetic only”, “within acceptable tolerance”, or simply “not a defect”. Now you are staring at that email with a strange feeling in your chest. You know something is wrong in that apartment….
The appointment was booked for eleven. By quarter past, you are standing in a unit that smells of fresh paint, holding a folder you have not read, while someone perfectly friendly explains that everything is ready and the certificate just needs a signature. They have said the word “today” three times. You are not sure…
The email lands on a Tuesday afternoon. Every item on your snag list is marked “closed.” Then you walk into the guest bathroom, and the damp patch is exactly where it was three weeks ago. The wardrobe door still does not sit flush. The AC in the second bedroom still blows warm at two in…
Yes, we do. Prime Inspections covers Abu Dhabi and every Northern Emirate, including Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain, alongside our home base in Dubai. Same snagging inspection process, same report, same team. That is the short answer. But if you found this page, you probably want more than one line….
Your developer has just told you the reported snags are fixed. Part of you wants to believe it and move on with handover. Another part of you is wondering whether you should actually check before signing anything. Short answer: yes, you can and absolutely should. This is called a re-inspection, sometimes referred to as de-snagging,…
You are about to book a snagging inspection, but before you pay, you want to know what actually lands in your inbox afterward. Not a marketing description of it. The real thing. Short answer: every defect we find gets its own photo, exact location, written description, and severity rating, delivered as a full report within…
You have gotten two or three quotes for your snagging inspection, and something is not quite lining up. One company mentions thermal imaging like it is a given. Another lists it as an optional extra, somewhere between AED 500 and 1,500. Now you are wondering what you are actually comparing. Short answer: it genuinely depends…
You walk through the lobby on your way to your unit inspection, and something catches your eye. A cracked tile, a scuff mark, an elevator that shudders slightly between floors. Naturally, you start wondering whether your snagging inspection is going to cover that too, or if it is only about the four walls you actually…
