Snagging Inspection in Damac Hills
Inspecto Handover carries out independent snagging and handover inspections for villas, townhouses and apartments across Damac Hills. Our InterNACHI certified inspectors document every defect with photographs and location references, and hand you a report you can submit directly to the developer.
Why a snagging inspection matters in Damac Hills
Damac Hills has been handed over in phases over several years, so owners here fall into two groups, and the right inspection is different for each. If you are taking keys on a new unit, a pre-handover snagging inspection is carried out before you sign for the property. Defects logged at this stage remain the developer's responsibility to rectify, which is the point at which you have the most leverage. Once you have signed, the conversation gets considerably harder. If you have already moved in, you are still covered by the one-year builder's warranty on workmanship. Many owners only discover problems months later, by which time the window is closing. A post-handover inspection identifies what is still claimable so you can raise it before the warranty expires rather than paying for the repairs yourself.
