Introduction: Why Property Inspection Matters in Dubai
Dubai’s real estate market is booming, but behind sleek finishes and luxury handovers often lie hidden defects. Whether you’re buying an apartment in Downtown or a villa in Palm Jumeirah, property inspection in Dubai is your safety net. This guide helps you understand what a property inspection involves, why it’s essential, and how to choose the right professionals.
🔍 What Is a Property Inspection in Dubai?
Property inspection is a detailed evaluation of a property’s condition before, during, or after handover. It uncovers construction defects, poor finishes, non-compliance with handover standards, and potential future risks.
In Dubai, inspections are typically done before final payment or handover to ensure your home or investment matches what was promised.
