01PLANNING GUIDE
Many buyers of new Dubai properties want to change things at handover: flooring, kitchens, lighting, wardrobes. Planning those upgrades around the developer's snagging and warranties avoids losing cover you are entitled to.
Next step
Tell us the development and the upgrades you want. We match you with contractors familiar with new handovers.
Talk to a renovation specialistOr message us on WhatsAppComplete the developer's snagging inspection and get defects fixed before starting upgrades. Once you remove or alter something, it can be harder to claim that a defect was the developer's responsibility.
New properties usually carry developer warranties on parts of the work. Altering systems — plumbing, waterproofing, air conditioning — may affect those warranties. Check the handover documents and ask the developer before major changes.
Common first upgrades include better lighting, built-in wardrobes, kitchen improvements, flooring changes and smart-home controls. Many need building or community approval just like a renovation.
