Introduction: Why Apartment Inspection Is a Must in Dubai
Dubai’s skyline is filled with stunning new apartment towers — from Downtown Dubai to Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Business Bay, and Dubai Marina. But even in the most luxurious high-rises, buyers are often handed keys to apartments that hide defects beneath the surface.
That’s why an apartment inspection in Dubai is critical before you complete your payment or handover. Whether you’re buying off-plan, ready-to-move, or investing in a secondary resale unit, our expert inspections reveal what the developer or seller might miss — protecting you from costly repairs and disappointment.
🛠️ Common Defects Found in Dubai Apartments
At Property Inspection Dubai, our certified inspectors perform hundreds of snagging reports each month — and here’s what we often find inside brand-new apartments:
- Wall cracks and paint drips
- Air conditioning not cooling or leaking
- Loose electrical sockets or poor wiring
- Weak water pressure or hidden pipe leaks
- Hollow or uneven floor tiles
- Window seals missing, allowing dust and air
- Scratches on kitchen countertops
- Grouting defects in bathrooms
- Incomplete waterproofing in balconies
- Rattling doors or misaligned hinges
Even the most premium developments can have up to 30–50+ defects that go unnoticed during your initial walkthrough.
