Refurbishment underway.

75% paid.

Then things started to go wrong.

We were brought into Saadiyat Beach Residences after a dispute developed between the owner and contractor.

Our job wasnā€™t to snag the apartment.

It was to establish what had actually been done. What hadnā€™t. And what needed to happen next.

Independent. Technical. No guesswork.

Developers will often try to move properties into the Defects Liability Period as early as possible.

Why? Cash flow.

When you feel pressure this almost always means the property isnā€™t ready.

Donā€™t let a programme date decide whether your property is ready.

Get it independently inspected.

Yas Golf Collection.

One of Abu Dhabiā€™s most desirable communities.

Weā€™ve had the privilege of inspecting a number of homes here over the past year.

Every inspection is carried out to the same professional standard.

Independent. Detailed. Unbiased.

Youā€™re about to spend AED 5 million.

Have you spent AED 5,000 understanding what youā€™re buying?

Most people will spend weeks comparing locations, layouts and payment plans.

Then make a purchase decision based on a single viewing.

No independent advice.

No assessment of condition.

No understanding of the defects hidden behind the finishes.

A professional survey is a normal part of the buying process.

Not because buyers expect problems.

Because they want to understand the asset theyā€™re purchasing.

Water ingress.

Poor workmanship.

Roof defects.

Drainage issues.

Building envelope failures.

These arenā€™t always visible during a viewing.

A property survey isnā€™t designed to stop you buying.

Itā€™s designed to make sure you know exactly what youā€™re buying.

The cost of a survey is insignificant.

The cost of discovering major defects after completion rarely is.

Another day. Another roof.

Another reminder that the most expensive defects are often the ones you never see.

Drainage defects.

Workmanship defects.

Found before they become your problem.

Most snagging inspectors take photographs.

We investigate buildings.

Anyone can spot a scratch.

Anyone can photograph a chipped tile.

Thatā€™s not the difficult part.

The difficult part is knowing:

What caused it.

Why it matters.

Whether it will get worse.

And who should fix it.

A camera doesnā€™t identify risk.

Training does.

Experience does.

Professional standards do.

Thatā€™s the difference between a cosmetic inspectionā€¦

And a building survey.

Before you accept handover, ask yourself:

Are you paying for photographs?

Or are you paying for professional advice?

Last week should have worried you.

Because most roofs here arenā€™t built for that kind of rain.

And when they failā€¦ it starts quietly.

Blocked outlets.

Standing water.

Failures in waterproofing no one sees.

Then itā€™s inside.

Ceilings staining.

Electrics tripping.

Damage spreading behind finishes.

The reality isā€¦

Itā€™s rarely the storm that causes the issue.

Itā€™s the roof not being ready for it.

Iā€™ve already seen multiple properties across Abu Dhabi with the same problems after last week.

Poor drainage.

Bad detailing.

Water with nowhere to go.

If water was sitting on your roof at any point last weekā€¦

Get it checked.

Properly.

Before the next one hits.

Message me if you want it looked at properly

Back with another inspection! Today we took a look at a large 4 bedroom villa. We encountered a few issues on the roof. The solar panels were very dirty and with lack of intention this can reduce the efficiency by 40%. The developers used the lines of the expansion joints to build small up stands which is a big problem for storm water run off. There was also a safety compliance issue with the ladder to the roof.
