Luxor by Imtiaz Snagging Inspection

Yes, snagging is free for clients who bought their Luxor by Imtiaz residence through me: the inspection is arranged and covered as part of the service, and the report is prepared ready for submission to Imtiaz Developments. Buyers who purchased elsewhere can still have an independent inspection arranged at the market rates shown in the cost section above.

Book it as soon as the completion notice from Imtiaz arrives, because the inspection has to fit before you accept the keys. The usual order is the completion notice, then the 40% completion payment due under your SPA, then DEWA and service charge set-up, then the inspection and key release. The Dubai Land Department register read 90.02% at the 17 September 2026 inspection and handover is expected in Q4 2026; confirm the exact handover timetable with Imtiaz in writing and follow the build on the Luxor by Imtiaz construction updates page.

Two layers. The first is the apartment itself: tiles, joinery, doors, glazing, plumbing, electrical points, air conditioning and the balcony. The second is what Imtiaz supplies inside it, since the developer lists every unit as fully furnished: the furniture, the 65-inch TV, the appliances, the smart home controls and the purified drinking and sparkling water taps. Both layers go into one report, item by item, with photographs and locations. A room-by-room reference sits in the snagging checklist.

Furniture is counted against the inventory supplied with your unit and inspected for damage, finish and stability. The TV is checked for a secure fixing, screen condition and working power and signal points. Each appliance is powered and run, with doors, seals and panels examined. Smart home functions are tested from the controls supplied with the apartment, and the water taps are run for flow while their connections are checked for leaks. Anything missing or faulty is listed separately from building defects so Imtiaz can act on each list.

The tower carries curved balconies, so the inspection looks at the balustrade fixings and their line along the curve, the falls that should carry water to the outlet rather than the door, the waterproofing and sealant at the threshold, and how the balcony door slides, locks and seals. Water tests on the balcony floor show drainage problems that are invisible when the surface is dry.

No. The rooftop infinity pool, sky garden, cinema, business center, club house, gym, sauna and steam rooms and the kids' areas are common parts of the building, not part of the apartment you accept. Defects there are generally a matter for the developer and the building management rather than an individual handover report. Your snag list covers the unit, its balcony and the contents supplied with it.

Free if you bought through me. Otherwise, fees vary by firm and depth of inspection. As a guide, a studio or one bedroom apartment sits around AED 800 to 1,500 ≈ USD 220 to 410 and a two bedroom around AED 1,000 to 2,000 ≈ USD 270 to 545. Confirm whether VAT, furniture and appliance checks, and a reinspection are included; the value case is set out in how snagging saves you money.

Before you accept the apartment, defects on the report are corrected at the developer's cost. After acceptance, Dubai practice provides a developer rectification period for finishing and installation defects and a longer warranty on major structural elements, with the exact terms and start date set by your SPA. A dated, photographed snagging report strengthens any request for correction within those windows. The full picture is in the defect liability period and structural warranty guide.

Yes. The inspection does not need the owner in the apartment, and the digital report, with photographs, locations and recommended actions, can be reviewed from anywhere. Access to the unit is controlled by Imtiaz at handover, so the developer's requirements for authorising a representative, such as a signed authorisation or a power of attorney, should be confirmed in writing before the appointment.

Each defect is submitted to Imtiaz with its photograph and location, and an optional reinspection checks every item once rectification is reported as done. Items still open at that visit are carried forward on the updated report, which keeps a dated record if they have to be pursued after handover within the rectification period. The timing logic behind that follow-up is covered in the when to book snagging guide.
