Who it’s for

Three property journeys. One need for evidence.

The inspection stays rigorous, while the coordination and report walkthrough adapt to how you own and manage the property.

Overseas · Off-plan

Buying from abroad

Plan authorised access, receive a clear visual record, and review the findings without needing to be physically present in Dubai.

Owner-occupier

Moving into your home

Understand functional and finishing issues before move-in, with clear guidance on access, utilities, scope, and next steps.

Investor · Manager

Protecting an investment

Create a consistent condition record for a new handover, DLP review, or resale decision—without repair-work upsells.

The thing you are buying

A report built to get issues understood.

A snagging inspection is only useful if the findings are specific, easy to locate, and simple to action. See the structure before you book.

What happens next

From handover notice to documented findings.

The process stays simple because your time should go into reviewing the home—not chasing the inspection company.

Send the essentials

Community, unit type, size, handover date, and whether utilities are active.

Confirm the scope

We confirm the fee, available slot, access requirements, and inspection limitations.

We inspect

Room-by-room checks with functional testing where utilities and access allow.

Receive the record

Your report arrives within 24 hours, followed by one included re-inspection after fixes.

Why independent matters

“The inspector should have one client in the room: the property buyer.”

FirstCheck does not sell repair or renovation work. The inspection is separated from the cost of fixing what is found.

Buyer-side reporting

Findings are documented for the owner’s review, without repair-work upsells.

Remote-owner ready

Access can be coordinated with an authorised representative, agent, or property manager when permitted.

Scope before payment

Price, property coverage, access needs, exclusions, and re-inspection terms are confirmed before booking.

Practical questions

Before you book.

When should the inspection happen?

Most new-build buyers book after receiving a handover notice and before completing their final acceptance steps. Contract and defect-liability terms vary, so review your SPA and developer process or obtain legal advice if timing is disputed.

Do I need to be in Dubai?

No. Subject to access approval, we can coordinate with your authorised representative, agent, property manager, or developer contact. We will confirm the required documents before the visit.

Is this a structural survey?

No. The standard service is a visual and functional, non-invasive inspection of safely accessible areas. Specialist structural, destructive, or concealed-system investigations require a separately agreed scope.

Do electricity and water need to be active?

They should be active for meaningful AC, electrical, plumbing, and drainage checks. If utilities are unavailable, we will record the testing limitations in the report.

What does the included re-inspection cover?

One return visit checks the previously reported items after the responsible party says they have been addressed. Timing, access, and any additional inspection scope are confirmed at booking.

Coming soon

FirstCheck is preparing to launch in Dubai.

Bookings will open after licensing and production contact details are published.
