​Developer hasn't fixed desnagging issues after a month. Conveyancer wants to transfer funds. Help!

​Hey everyone, looking for some urgent advice from those who have been through the Dubai property buying process.

​I’m in the final stages of purchasing an apartment here, but I’ve hit a massive roadblock and I'm getting seriously stressed about it.

We did the desnagging inspection and sent the official report to the developer over a month ago, they haven't fixed it yet.

​My conveyancer is pushing me to proceed with the final transfer and release the remaining payment to the developer and the seller.

​I am incredibly uncomfortable with this. When the developer gets their 100% final payment, I lose all my leverage, and those snags will either be delayed indefinitely or completely ignored.

Has anyone faced this with Dubai developers?

​Can I instruct my conveyancer I want to wait until a final successful re-snagging inspection is signed off?

​Is it normal practice here for conveyancers to push for completion before snags are closed out?
