Question 1

How do I arrange inspection access in a Dubai community?

Accepted Answer

Check the developer or building manager's appointment, access-permit and visitor requirements. Confirm keys, accessible rooms and whether electricity and water can be available for agreed functional checks.

Question 2

When should I arrange a DLP inspection?

Accepted Answer

Check the start date, duration and notification process in your contract. Allow time for inspection, report preparation, full payment and written notification before the deadline. Months 10–11 are a planning example only where a 12-month period applies.

Question 3

Which Dubai property types do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We inspect apartments, villas and townhouses across Dubai communities. Availability, access and the inspection scope are confirmed for the specific property; listing a community does not imply an office or developer affiliation there.

Question 4

Can I inspect a resale property before purchase?

Accepted Answer

Arrange the seller's or tenant's permission before making your inspection appointment. An accessible-condition report can support purchase discussions but cannot reveal every concealed defect or guarantee a negotiation outcome.

Question 5

How much does a standard residential inspection cost?

Accepted Answer

Stage 1, post-renovation and resale inspections have an AED 800 minimum base, excluding 5% VAT. Area tiers determine the final base. DLP/de-snagging is half the corresponding Stage 1 base after its minimum; move-in/out uses AED 0.50 per sq ft with an AED 800 minimum.

Question 6

When is the final report released?

Accepted Answer

The preparation target is usually within 24 hours of inspection, subject to agreed scope. Full payment is due after physical inspection and before release of the final report.
