Service 01 · Pre Handover Property Inspection
Before You AcceptThe Keys.
Ensure your new property is delivered defect free before you accept the keys. An independent pre-handover inspection for new apartments, townhouses and villas across Dubai and the UAE.
What it is
New does not always mean defect free.
A Pre Handover Property Inspection is conducted before the buyer officially takes possession of a new property from the developer. Even newly constructed homes can contain defects, incomplete work or quality issues that are easy to miss during a standard walkthrough.
Our inspectors assess the property's structural elements, finishes, mechanical systems and installation quality, so that problems are identified while the developer is still responsible for putting them right.
