Property handover marks the transition from development to ownership, but it is also one of the most critical risk points in the property lifecycle. If not handled correctly, defects identified too late can result in unexpected costs, delayed leasing, and long-term asset damage.
At fäm Property Management, professional snagging services ensure that handover is completed with accuracy, accountability, and full protection for property owners.
The Hidden Risks at Property Handover
Even newly completed properties can contain defects that compromise functionality, safety, or visual quality. Common issues include:
-
Poor finishing and surface defects
-
Faulty electrical or plumbing installations
-
HVAC inefficiencies
-
Misaligned fittings and fixtures
-
Hidden construction or structural concerns
Without a professional inspection, many of these issues remain unnoticed until responsibility for repairs shifts from the developer to the owner.
fäm’s snagging process is designed to be comprehensive and methodical. Inspections typically cover:
-
Structural elements and visible construction quality
-
Electrical systems and installations
-
Plumbing and water pressure testing
-
HVAC performance and controls
-
Fixtures, fittings, and finishing standards
Each defect is documented with photographic evidence and clearly categorized, allowing owners to pursue rectification efficiently and within contractual timelines.
Why Snagging Matters for Investors
For investors, professional snagging ensures that the property is delivered in a condition suitable for immediate leasing. Identifying and resolving defects early avoids:
A properly snagged property enters the rental market faster and with fewer operational risks.
Why Snagging Matters for End Users
For end users, snagging provides confidence that the home meets expected standards of safety, comfort, and quality from day one. It ensures that issues are addressed before move-in, reducing disruption and protecting long-term living conditions.
Snagging as a Financial Safeguard
Snagging is not simply a quality check. It is a financial safeguard. Early detection of defects prevents long-term deterioration, reduces future maintenance costs, and protects overall asset value.
By providing detailed and actionable snagging reports, Fäm Property Management empowers owners to enforce accountability, secure proper handover outcomes, and protect their investment from the outset.
In Dubai’s evolving real estate market, professional snagging is an essential step in safeguarding property performance and long-term value.
