Introduction: Looks Can Be Deceiving — Even in Brand-New Homes
It’s brand new, freshly painted, and smells like a showroom — so why bother with a property inspection?
Because behind every sleek finish, there could be dozens of hidden defects. From blocked AC vents to incorrectly wired sockets and water leaks behind the walls, brand-new apartments in Dubai often come with surprises the eye can’t catch — but a certified inspector can.
At Property Inspection Dubai, we’ve inspected thousands of brand-new units and almost none of them are defect-free. Here’s why you absolutely need a professional inspection before accepting handover.
⚠️ Common Issues Found in New Dubai Apartments
Even in top-tier towers from reputable developers, we routinely find:
- ❌ AC not cooling efficiently or leaking from ducts
- ❌ Cracks in walls and ceilings due to rushed plasterwork
- ❌ Loose or misaligned doors, handles, or hinges
- ❌ Poor waterproofing in bathrooms and balconies
- ❌ Hollow or improperly bonded floor tiles
- ❌ Grouting defects or missing silicone
- ❌ Unsealed windows leading to dust and water ingress
- ❌ Electrical sockets with reversed polarity or grounding issues
- ❌ Plumbing leaks hidden behind walls (found via moisture meter)
These aren’t cosmetic problems — they can cost thousands if left unaddressed.
🧾 What’s Included in Our New Apartment Inspection
We offer a complete, certified snagging inspection that includes:

💡 Why You Can’t Rely on Developer Handover Teams
While developers conduct their own walkthrough, these inspections are often superficial and rushed. Their goal is to handover quickly, not protect your long-term interest.
Only a third-party inspection company works fully on your behalf — to document every fault before you sign off and lose your leverage.
📖 Real Case: Brand-New Unit with 43 Defects in Dubai Marina
One of our clients recently booked an inspection for a 1-bedroom apartment in 52|42 Towers, Dubai Marina. Everything looked pristine — until our tools revealed:
- Low airflow from the AC in the bedroom
- Water pooling on the balcony due to incorrect slope
- Loose wall sockets near the TV unit
- 3 hollow tiles in the kitchen
- Moisture content of 28% inside a bathroom wall
Using our 12-hour report, the client submitted the snag list to the developer and had everything fixed before key collection.
