What is a Snagging Inspection?
A snagging inspection is a detailed examination of a newly built property to identify defects, unfinished work, or issues that don't meet expected standards.
Why Do You Need One?
Even newly built homes can contain defects. Construction is a complex process involving many different trades, and issues can occur at any stage. A professional snagging inspection ensures these issues are identified and documented so the developer can correct them.
What Does It Cover?
Our snagging inspections cover over 250 checkpoints throughout the property, including:
- Exterior: Roofing, brickwork, windows, drainage
- Interior: Walls, ceilings, flooring, doors
- Kitchen: Cabinet alignment, worktops, appliances
- Bathrooms: Sealant, tiles, plumbing
- Electrical: Switches, sockets, safety devices
- Heating: Radiators, boiler, water pressure
When Should You Book?
The best time to book a snagging inspection is shortly after completion of your new build home. However, you can also benefit from a pre-completion inspection before handover.
