Professional Snagging Inspection for New Builds and Renovations
A Snagging Survey is an essential inspection for anyone buying a new build or recently renovated property. It identifies minor defects and unfinished work, known as “snags,” so you can ensure your new home meets the expected standards before you complete your purchase.
What’s Included?
- Detailed inspection of all visible finishes and fittings
- Identification of defects such as cracks, leaks, faulty fixtures, and poor workmanship
- A clear, easy-to-understand report highlighting all snags with photographic evidence
- Advice on prioritising repairs and follow-up actions
- Optional re-inspection after rectification to confirm issues have been resolved
What are snags?
Snags are minor defects or unfinished work commonly found in new build or recently renovated properties. Identifying these early helps you ensure your new home meets the expected quality standards before you complete your purchase.
Common snags include:
- Cracked or uneven plaster and paintwork
- Doors and windows that don’t close or seal properly
- Faulty electrical fittings or switches
- Leaking or poorly installed plumbing fixtures
- Loose or missing tiles, skirting boards, or floorboards
- Gaps around windows, doors, or skirting allowing drafts
- Poor finishing to kitchens and bathrooms
- Defective or untested heating and ventilation systems
- Scratches, dents, or damage to surfaces and fittings
- Issues with external landscaping, paths, or drives
During a snagging survey, we carefully check for these and other issues, providing a detailed report so you can request repairs before moving in.
