5 handover mistakes that cost Dubai buyers later

Handover day is exciting — and rushed. Buyers often walk units with limited time and miss defects that become expensive after the developer’s soft period ends.

Common mistakes include: relying only on a visual look without a structured checklist; not documenting defects with photos and locations; signing completion under pressure; ignoring MEP issues (AC, drainage, electrics); and delaying an independent inspection until after move-in.

An independent snagging report gives you leverage. Share it with the developer and track rectification before you fully accept the property.
