The handover sequence
Developer issues the completion notice, you settle the final instalment, pay DLD registration, complete a snagging inspection, then collect keys and register DEWA. Expect 30–60 days end to end in Business Bay.
Snag it properly
A professional snag on a Business Bay unit costs AED 800–2,500 and routinely finds 40–120 items — door alignment, AC balancing, silicone, tiling and paint. Submit the report before signing acceptance, not after.
