Snagging Snapshot
Sunset Bay 2 Snagging at a Glance
Sunset Bay 2 by Imtiaz is one residential building on Island A at Dubai Islands, laid out as ground, two podium levels, eight residential floors and a roof level, with 66 fully furnished residences split between 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 3 bedroom duplexes. The Dubai Land Department project register showed 70.2% progress against the inspection dated 4 August 2026, and handover is expected in Q1 2027. No residence has been handed over yet, which makes this the right moment to plan the inspection rather than improvise it on key day: defects documented before you sign for the unit can still be corrected by Imtiaz Developments as part of the handover process, instead of being chased after you have accepted the residence.

Data as of October 2026, based on the Dubai Land Department project register (project 3570, listed as Sunset Bay Two By Imtiaz) and construction tracking against RERA inspection data. The progress figure is the register reading shown for 04-08-2026 and is updated after each recorded inspection.
Late Construction Stage
Why Snagging Matters at This Stage of Sunset Bay 2
The RERA report of 4 August 2026 recorded the enabling, foundation and structural works at Sunset Bay 2 as completed, with internal, external and MEP works still progressing. That moves the building into the stretch where interiors, bespoke joinery and furniture go in, and it is in this stretch that many handover defects originate. Because no unit has been handed over and no snag list exists yet, the useful work now is deciding how your residence will be inspected, so the visit can be booked the moment your completion notice arrives.
Every Sunset Bay 2 residence is delivered fully furnished with bespoke interiors, so an inspection here has to cover the furniture and joinery you are paying for as well as the finishes and building systems. The developer's floor plans also show private terrace pools and balcony jacuzzis in selected residences, and the 3 bedroom duplexes run over two levels with a maid's room. Each of those features brings its own checks, which is why an inspection built around your actual layout gives you a far more useful record than a generic list.
Property Snagging GuideThe window that matters: defects raised on a dated, photographed report before acceptance are corrected on the developer's side of the handover line. Issues found after you accept the residence move into the rectification process, where that same documented report becomes your strongest evidence. With handover set for Q1 2027, plan the inspection now so it can be fixed in your diary as soon as the completion notice for your unit arrives, ahead of the key appointment. Follow the latest register readings on the Sunset Bay 2 construction updates page.
Matched to Your Residence
What We Inspect at Sunset Bay 2
The inspection is matched to your residence, from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom duplex, and covers the unit and its private outdoor space against a structured finishing, furniture and commissioning checklist. The rooftop pool, the club house and the gym are common parts of the building, so they sit outside your own unit's snag list:
- Supplied furniture against the sales specification: every piece present, undamaged and properly assembled
- Bespoke joinery and built-in wardrobes: alignment, hinges, runners and edge finishing
- Open kitchens: worktop joints, cabinet doors, sink seals and fitted appliance operation
- Glazing and balcony doors: seals, locking, sliding tracks and threshold detailing
- Balconies: falls to the drain, waterproofing at the door line and balustrade fixings
- Private terrace pools in selected residences: tiling, edge joints, drainage and signs of leaks
- Balcony jacuzzis in selected residences: surround waterproofing, drainage and controls
- 3 bedroom duplexes: internal staircase, balustrade and finishes where the two levels meet
- Duplex maid's rooms: door, ventilation, lighting and power points
- Air conditioning performance and balance from room to room
- Bathrooms: waterproofing, falls to drains, sealant lines and hot water delivery
- Flooring level, hollow tiles and marks left by furniture installation
- Laundry and washer-dryer connections shown on the developer's floor plans
- Sockets, lighting, distribution board labelling, intercom and access control

What a Snagging Inspection Costs at Sunset Bay 2
Snagging is FREE for clients who bought their Sunset Bay 2 residence through me. For buyers who purchased elsewhere, Dubai has no fixed snagging tariff, so fees vary by firm and rise with the size and complexity of the residence. Smaller apartments are usually quoted as a flat fee by bedroom count, while the 3 bedroom duplexes and the largest 2 bedroom layouts are commonly priced per square foot of built-up area, typically AED 0.50 to 1.50 ≈ USD 0.14 to 0.41 per sq ft. The indicative market ranges below apply those bands to the unit sizes at Sunset Bay 2, and a sample report is available before you commit.
| Residence Type at Sunset Bay 2 | Approx. Size | Indicative Inspection Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | AED 800 to 1,500 ≈ USD 220 to 410 | 941 to 1,075 sq ft |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | AED 1,000 to 3,400 ≈ USD 270 to 930 | 1,351 to 2,264 sq ft |
| 3 Bedroom Duplex | AED 1,100 to 3,400 ≈ USD 300 to 930 | 2,242 to 2,283 sq ft |
| Reinspection After Rectification | Free to AED 1,500 ≈ USD 410 | Per visit |

Defects We Commonly Find in Furnished Apartment and Duplex Residences
Residences handed over fully furnished, with private outdoor water features and two-level duplex layouts, show a different defect profile near handover from shell-and-core apartments:
- Furniture pieces missing from the specification or damaged during delivery and assembly
- Wardrobe and cabinet doors out of line, or hinges and runners left unadjusted
- Chips, gaps or unsealed edges where joinery meets walls, floors and worktops
- Balcony falls sending water toward the door threshold instead of the drain
- Sealant gaps or staining where balcony and terrace doors meet the floor finish
- Cracked or hollow tiles and open joints around terrace pool edges
- Jacuzzi surrounds with weak waterproofing details or slow drainage after use
- Loose duplex balustrade fixings and finish damage on stair treads and landings
- Air conditioning that cools some rooms well and leaves others warm
- Hollow or lipped floor tiles and scratches left by furniture installation
- Bathroom falls that pool water, and sealant lines already shrinking
- Sockets, lighting circuits, intercom or access points not fully commissioned
Your Recourse
Your Protection After Handover, in Plain Language
Buyers at Sunset Bay 2 keep recourse after they accept the residence. Under Dubai practice, a new home carries a developer rectification period for finishing and installation defects after handover, and a longer warranty applies to major structural elements of the building; the exact periods for your unit are set by your sales agreement and the developer's handover documents. Supplied furniture may sit under different terms from the building itself, so check how your paperwork treats it. A documented snagging inspection strengthens your position within those windows, because defects raised on a dated, photographed report are easier to pursue than issues recalled later, which matters most for the bespoke joinery, the balconies, and the terrace pools and jacuzzis in selected residences. If you are unsure how the rectification window applies to your specific unit, that is exactly the kind of question worth settling before handover day rather than after.

Sunset Bay 2 by Imtiaz Snagging Inspection Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, snagging is free for clients who bought their Sunset Bay 2 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.
No Sunset Bay 2 residence has been handed over yet, so no snag list exists and the inspection date cannot be fixed today. Handover is expected in Q1 2027, and the usual Dubai sequence runs from a completion notice, through settlement of the final 40% of the price and DEWA and service charge set-up, to the keys, with Ejari registration following later if the unit is let. The inspection belongs between the completion notice and the moment you sign to accept the unit, while defects are still the developer's cost to correct. Timing strategy is covered in the when to book snagging guide.
Free if you bought through me. Otherwise, fees vary by firm and residence type. As an indicative market guide, a 1 bedroom apartment sits around AED 800 to 1,500 ≈ USD 220 to 410, a 2 bedroom apartment around AED 1,000 to 3,400 ≈ USD 270 to 930 depending on its size, and a 3 bedroom duplex, usually priced per square foot, around AED 1,100 to 3,400 ≈ USD 300 to 930. Confirm whether VAT and a reinspection are included; the value case is set out in how snagging saves you money.
Every Sunset Bay 2 residence is delivered fully furnished with bespoke interiors, so the inspection compares what is in the unit with the furniture and finish specification in your sales documents. Each piece is checked for presence, delivery damage, stability and correct assembly, and the bespoke joinery is checked for alignment, hinge and runner adjustment, and edge finishing. Furniture may sit under different warranty terms from the building itself, so the report lists it as its own group of items.
Yes, wherever your residence has them. Balconies are checked for falls to the drain, waterproofing at the door line and balustrade fixings. The developer's floor plans also show private terrace pools and balcony jacuzzis in selected residences; where your unit has one, the inspection covers the tiling and edge joints, drainage, the surrounding waterproofing and any visible sign of leaks, and records whether the equipment and controls were demonstrated at handover.
The 3 bedroom duplexes, at 2,242 to 2,283 sq ft, run across two levels and include a maid's room. The inspection therefore adds the internal staircase and its balustrade, the junctions where finishes meet between the two levels, the maid's room with its door, ventilation and power points, and the air conditioning balance between upstairs and downstairs. The extra bathrooms and the supplied furniture spread over two levels also make the visit longer than an apartment inspection.
No. The rooftop pool, the club house and the gym are common parts shared by all 66 residences, so they are not on the snag list for your own unit. A unit inspection covers what you are accepting inside your residence and its private outdoor space. Anything noticed in the shared areas on the day can be noted separately for the developer or building management, outside your unit's rectification list.
Dubai practice gives a new home a developer rectification period for finishing and installation defects after handover and a longer warranty on major structural elements. The exact periods for your Sunset Bay 2 unit, and the way supplied furniture is treated, are set by your sales agreement and the 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 needs access to the unit rather than the owner standing in it, and the access arrangements, including any written authorisation the developer asks for, are confirmed with its handover team in advance. The owner then receives the digital report with a photograph, a location and a recommended action for every defect, so the findings can be reviewed and submitted from abroad, and an optional reinspection confirms the fixes before acceptance.
The report goes to Imtiaz Developments for rectification, and an optional reinspection checks each listed item before you finalize acceptance. Any item still open stays on the dated record, which is the evidence for follow-up within the developer's defect liability window after handover. Build status in the meantime is published on the Sunset Bay 2 construction updates page.
