Dubai

A specialist visits your site in Dubai on a fixed protocol. We check what they recorded against your contract and your payment schedule, and you get the report in your account, in your language, with the photographs.

What is different about buying off-plan in Dubai

Off-plan is the default here, not the exception: it accounts for the majority of residential sales in the emirate. That volume is why the market has more buyers who have never seen the plot than any other on this list.

Access to sites run by the largest developers is the open question here, and we treat it as one: what we do when a site refuses entry is set out below, and it is the same on every market.

Snagging

The defect walk-through buyers know by name: moisture meter, thermal imaging, electrics, plumbing and ventilation, room by room. It reaches you as a section of your report rather than a separate file.

from $335

The exact figure depends on the property. Give us its size and address when you order, and we will name the price before you pay.

Snapshot

One price per district

Type and size do not change it. Charged by the month, one visit at a time.
