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 Jumeirah.

Snag it properly

A professional snag on a Jumeirah 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.
