Snagging Inspection
A Snagging Survey is a comprehensive, detail-focused inspection tailored specifically for newly built or newly converted properties. It identifies construction defects, poor workmanship, and unfinished details before or shortly after completion so your builder can rectify them under warranty.
Designed specifically for buyers of newly built properties, a professional Snagging Report identifies cosmetic flaws, functional issues, and poor workmanship before or shortly after you move in. Even brand-new homes can have defects that developers are obligated to rectify. Our detailed inspection ensures your builder resolves every issue to the highest standard under your property warranty.
We conduct an extensive room-by-room check covering everything from paint finishes, joinery, window and door alignment. We also check plumbing fittings, electrical points, and the exterior to identify operational defects early.
The report is presented in a clear, professional schedule complete with photographs pinpointing all defects. This format gives your developer a precise, unambiguous list of defects, making it easy for site managers to assign remedial work to contractors.
Submitting an independent snagging survey ensures you hold the developer accountable while your warranty is valid. Identifying defects before minor issues lead to long-term frustration gives you peace of mind and ensures your new home is completed to the standard you expect.
