Nakheel Property Inspection Dubai | Handover Checklist

Nakheel Property Inspection: What Every Buyer Should Check Before Handover

Confidence at Handover Starts with a Thorough Inspection

Nakheel has played a defining role in shaping Dubai’s real estate landscape — from the iconic Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Islands, to family communities like Discovery Gardens, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Al Furjan, and more.

As a trusted developer, Nakheel delivers large-scale residential communities with a wide range of villas and apartments. But like all new properties, minor defects can occur during construction or finishing. That’s why smart buyers choose to conduct a professional property inspection before or shortly after handover — ensuring everything is up to standard, fully functional, and defect-free.


🛠️ Why Get a Property Inspection for Your Nakheel Home?

Whether you’re taking handover of a waterfront villa or a JVC apartment, here’s why an inspection is a wise move:

1. Catch Minor Defects Early

Even the best properties may have small issues like chipped tiles, hairline cracks, or AC airflow imbalance — especially in large-scale communities. These are easily rectified when flagged early.

2. Maximize Your DLP (Defects Liability Period)

Nakheel typically offers a 12-month DLP during which they fix reported snags. A professional inspection ensures you report all issues before this period ends.

3. Move In With Confidence

Knowing every part of your home has been tested and verified means fewer surprises and more peace of mind.

4. Save Time with a Professional Report

Our detailed inspection report helps you present a well-documented snag list to Nakheel’s customer service team — making rectification faster and smoother.


📋 What to Check Before Handover

Here’s what every Nakheel buyer should have inspected before accepting handover:

Civil & Finishing:

  • Walls, ceilings, and paintwork for cracks, drips, or poor finishing
  • Tiling for alignment, grouting, and hollow sounds
  • Doors and windows for smooth movement and correct sealing
  • Wardrobes, cabinets, and drawers for alignment and damage

MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing):

  • Power sockets, light switches, and DB board safety
  • AC performance, vent alignment, and thermostat functionality
  • Water pressure and drainage in all bathrooms and kitchen
  • Geysers, faucets, showers, and possible leaks

Outdoor Areas (for villas):

  • Terrace, balcony, or garden flooring and waterproofing
  • Drainage slope and blockage check
  • Gate operations and external lighting
