Each inspection concludes with a developer-approved digital report within 6 hours same day, ensuring you move in with full confidence. Whether buying off-plan, pre-handover, or resale, our inspections guarantee quality, safety, and value — protecting your investment under Dubai’s strict property standards.
Why Apartment Inspection Matters in Dubai (2025)
With Dubai’s rapid development pace, thousands of apartments are delivered every quarter. While most appear flawless, many hide small but serious defects. Property Inspection Dubai ensures your unit meets RERA and developer standards before handover, preventing costly repairs later.
A professional apartment inspection verifies construction quality, safety, and system functionality — allowing you to flag and fix issues during your developer’s responsibility period.
Common Apartment Defects Found During Inspection
Our experienced engineers identify over 50+ common issues typically found in new and resale apartments, such as:
- Paint drips, cracks, or poor finishing around walls and ceilings
- Loose or misaligned door handles and window fittings
- Water pressure imbalances or internal plumbing leaks
- AC drainage and thermostat calibration issues
- Incorrect electrical socket polarity or tripped breakers
- Poor balcony sealing or waterproofing failure
Each defect is tagged, photographed, and clearly explained in your same-day report.
Pre-Handover Apartment Inspection Checklist
At Property Inspection Dubai, we follow a structured, 5-stage process for every apartment:
1. Finishing & Paintwork
Inspect walls, ceilings, corners, and skirting for cracks, air bubbles, or uneven surfaces.
2. Flooring & Tiling
Check leveling, hollow sounds, grout alignment, and expansion joints.
3. Electrical & Lighting
Test socket polarity, switch functionality, circuit load, and distribution board condition.
4. Plumbing & Drainage
Verify water pressure, leakage, and proper slope for all bathrooms, kitchens, and balconies.
5. AC & Ventilation
Inspect airflow, thermostat response, drainage pipes, and duct insulation.
Each apartment inspection follows international InterNACHI inspection protocols, ensuring precise results accepted by all developers in Dubai.
Why Pre-Handover Inspections Are Critical
Conducting an inspection before handover gives you leverage — the developer must fix all documented defects before closing the file. Skipping this stage can result in hidden issues surfacing after occupancy, when the responsibility (and cost) shifts to you.
At Property Inspection Dubai, we detect both visible and hidden defects through thermal imaging, moisture testing, and electrical diagnostics, ensuring full transparency before you sign off.
