Can Orven visit the unit on my behalf if I cannot travel to Dubai?
Yes, Orven can visit a construction site, attend handover, and support snagging on your behalf when you cannot be physically present. This is one of the main reasons buyers who never set foot in Dubai still work with us.
Yes, Orven can visit a construction site, attend handover, and support snagging on your behalf when you cannot travel to Dubai yourself. Buying and owning property remotely is the situation most of our clients are already in, so this kind of support is a normal part of how we work, not an exceptional favour.
What we can do in person on your behalf
Depending on where a project stands, this can mean checking on construction progress, attending the handover appointment when your unit is ready, or accompanying the snagging inspection that compares the finished unit against what the developer promised. Our explainer on what is handover and snagging in Dubai covers what snagging actually involves and why documenting it properly matters, whether you attend yourself or ask us to attend for you.
What this does not replace
A visit on your behalf gives you eyes on the ground, but it does not replace your own decision making: we report back what we see, with photos and a clear account of any issues, and you decide how to proceed, whether that means requesting fixes before accepting handover or accepting with noted items to follow up. It also does not replace legal advice for anything beyond the physical condition of the unit itself.
How this fits into managing property after handover
A visit on your behalf during handover is often the first of several remote check-ins over the life of your ownership, alongside the ongoing coordination a property manager typically handles once you are letting the unit. Our guide on who manages the property when I am abroad explains how these pieces work together once handover is behind you.

When to ask for this in advance
If you already know you will not be able to travel for handover, tell your adviser as early as possible so the visit can be planned around the developer's own handover schedule rather than arranged at the last minute. The same applies if you want a mid construction check on a specific project; earlier notice gives us more flexibility to coordinate the visit properly.
