Thanks to all team of propertysnagging.ae to make the handover safe from a quality point of view. Ahmed is a very professional senior snagger made a very precise report and the developer had to fix all snags. Without this service I would have accepted an apartment with issues. It's worth every single dirham, thanks again, I will call you again when I will buy my next property. 5 stars only because I cannot give you 6 stars on Google.
