Mykonos at DAMAC Lagoons by DAMAC Snagging Inspection

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

Close to handover, once the home is finished and before you sign the completion documents. The DLD register read 81.06% at the 30 September 2026 inspection and handover is estimated for Q2 2027, but no handover notice is on file yet. The usual order runs from DAMAC's completion notice to the 20% completion payment and any balance under your SPA, then DEWA and service-charge set-up, then the inspection and the keys, so the timetable is worth confirming with DAMAC in writing. Timing strategy is covered in the when to book snagging guide.

It follows the floor plan of your own home, the 4 bedroom townhouse over ground and first floors or the 5 bedroom townhouse over ground, first and second floors, and checks every level: finishes, joinery, doors and windows, staircases and handrails, kitchens and bathrooms, plumbing, electrical and air conditioning, then the terraces, garden and car port outside. A room-by-room reference is available in the snagging checklist.

These are the surfaces that have to shed water, so the inspector looks at falls toward each outlet, signs of ponding, the waterproofing and sealant at door thresholds and parapets, and the fixing and alignment of balustrades. Where it is safe and accessible, a water test shows whether the terrace drains away from the house rather than toward the door.

Yes. The private garden is checked for levels and drainage away from the house, together with its boundary walls and gates; the covered car port and driveway for paving levels, settlement and lighting points; and the party walls shared with the neighbouring townhouse for cracking and sound transfer, which matters in an attached home.

DAMAC describes Mykonos interiors built around marble and stone, or wood with white-washed walls, so the inspection checks those finishes where they are fitted in your home: hollow or lipped tiles, chips, cracked or uneven grout and joints, and gaps, swelling or misalignment in timber surfaces, internal doors and joinery. The renderings are illustrative, so the finishes schedule in your SPA is the reference the report is checked against.

No. The pool with its submerged pool bar, the Beach Club, Paradise Beach, the Glow Lounge, the Honey Bar, Windmill Park and Volcanic Stones Park are shared amenities of the cluster, which makes them common parts rather than features of an individual townhouse. Defects there are generally a matter for the developer and community management, while your inspection covers your own home, its terraces, garden and car port.

Free if you bought through me. Otherwise, fees vary by firm, and multi-level homes are commonly priced per square foot at AED 0.50 to 1.50 ≈ USD 0.14 to 0.41. On that basis the 4 Bedroom Townhouse of 2,283 sq ft sits around AED 1,100 to 3,400 ≈ USD 300 to 930, and the 5 Bedroom Townhouse of 3,376 sq ft around AED 1,700 to 5,100 ≈ USD 460 to 1,400. Confirm whether VAT and a reinspection are included; the value case is set out in how snagging saves you money.

Dubai practice provides a developer rectification period for finishing and installation defects after handover and a longer warranty on major structural elements, with the exact terms and start dates set by your SPA and DAMAC's handover documents. A dated, photographed snagging report strengthens any request for correction within those windows. The full picture of your rights is in the defect liability period and structural warranty guide.

Yes. The inspection does not need the buyer on site: the inspector works through the townhouse floor by floor and the photographed report is shared digitally, so defects can be raised with DAMAC from abroad. Whether a representative can attend the handover appointment or sign the acceptance documents for you, and which authorisation DAMAC requires, should be confirmed with DAMAC before the appointment.

The report keeps the defect on record. An optional reinspection after rectification checks each listed item, and anything still open can be recorded in writing when you accept the home, so it can still be pursued within the developer rectification period rather than being lost at handover. Build status between visits can be checked on the Mykonos at DAMAC Lagoons construction updates page.
