The owner sent us a photograph of a ceiling stain. Same room, same position, slightly larger than the one that had been signed off as closed in November. This is one of the calls we get most often at Prime Inspections. His message was three words long. “They told me it was fixed.” It was…
A two bedroom apartment in JVC. The snag report had gone in, the developer had gone quiet for a fortnight, and then customer care replied with a short email offering a lump sum in lieu of rectification, with an acknowledgement attached to sign and return. This is one of the calls we get most often…
August, a five bedroom villa handover in Dubai Hills Estate, ambient well over 45 C.
