Morocco 2 at DAMAC Lagoons by DAMAC Snagging Inspection

Yes, snagging is free for clients who bought their Morocco 2 at DAMAC Lagoons residence through me: the inspection is arranged and covered as part of the service, and the report is prepared for submission to DAMAC Properties. Buyers who purchased through another route can still have an independent inspection arranged at the market rates shown in the cost section above.

Close to handover, once DAMAC issues your completion notice. The DLD project register recorded Morocco 2 at 65.34% after the 17 July 2026 inspection, with the superstructure still progressing according to the RERA report and handover expected in Q4 2026, so the homes were still being built at that reading and the inspection belongs at the handover appointment rather than earlier. The usual order is the completion notice, the 20% completion payment and any balance under the SPA, DEWA and service-charge set-up, then the inspection before keys, and the inspection date should be fixed as soon as the notice arrives. Timing is covered in the when to book snagging guide.

The whole home and its plot: every floor from the villa basement or townhouse ground floor up to the roof level, finishes and joinery, doors and windows, glazing and balconies, kitchens and bathrooms, plumbing, electrical and hot water, air conditioning, and the DEWA connection, plus terraces, the garden, boundary walls, and parking. Decorative Moroccan-inspired finishes are checked where fitted. A room-by-room reference is in the snagging checklist.

Roof levels and roof terraces are checked for waterproofing, falls to the outlets, parapet and upstand details, and drainage, with a water test where practical; DAMAC's floor plans also place terraces on the upper floors of the townhouses. In the 6 and 7 bedroom villas, which the developer plans show with a basement level, the inspection looks for damp, seepage, efflorescence, ventilation, lighting, and drainage, because water problems below ground are costly to trace once a home is lived in.

Yes, within the boundary of your plot. Gardens and patios are checked for levels and for drainage that runs away from the home, boundary walls and gates for cracks and alignment, and the driveway or carport for finish and falls. A pool, its surrounds, and its equipment are inspected where a home has one; DAMAC's renderings show villas beside pools, but whether your home includes one is set by its specification and your SPA.

DAMAC describes the interiors as drawing on Moroccan heritage, including Zellij mosaic tilework, bold patterns, and ornate carved wood. Where such finishes are fitted, each surface is checked for hollow, cracked, chipped, or misaligned tiles, uneven grout, and breaks in the pattern, and carved or decorative joinery is checked for fit, finish, fixings, and gaps. These details are easy to accept at a glance and hard to match once replaced, so each one is logged individually with photographs.

No. The ponds, floating platforms and walkways, gardens, concert stage, outdoor library, mini golf, observation deck, and other shared facilities DAMAC plans for the cluster are common parts, not elements of your own home, so they do not belong on your personal snag list. Defects in shared areas are generally for the developer and the community management to address, while the inspection concentrates on your home and its plot.

Free if you bought through me. Otherwise, fees vary by firm and depend on size and inspection depth. Applying the common market rate of AED 0.50 to 1.50 ≈ USD 0.14 to 0.41 per sq ft, a 4 bedroom townhouse of 2,286 sq ft works out at about AED 1,100 to 3,400 ≈ USD 300 to 930, and a 7 bedroom villa of 17,627 sq ft at about AED 8,800 to 26,000 ≈ USD 2,400 to 7,100. Confirm whether VAT and a reinspection are included; the value case is set out in how snagging saves you money.

Dubai practice gives a newly completed home a developer rectification period for finishing and installation defects after handover, and a longer warranty on major structural elements. The exact periods for a Morocco 2 home, and the date each one starts, are set by the SPA and DAMAC's handover documents, so read them before you accept the keys. A dated, photographed report strengthens any request for correction within those windows; the wider rules are in the defect liability period and structural warranty guide.

Yes. The inspection does not require the owner on site: the report, photographs, and defect locations are shared digitally, and the findings can be submitted to DAMAC Properties from abroad. Whether a representative can attend the handover appointment or sign acceptance documents on your behalf, and what authorisation that needs, is for DAMAC to confirm under its handover procedure.

Defects listed on the report before acceptance stay with DAMAC to rectify at its own cost as part of handover. An optional reinspection checks each listed item once DAMAC reports the work done, and anything still open is recorded again with photographs, giving you a dated trail to pursue within the rectification period. Build status before handover can be followed on the Morocco 2 construction updates page.
