When to Book a Snagging Inspection

Timing your snagging inspection correctly can make a significant difference. Here's our guide to the best times to book.

Before Completion

A pre-completion inspection is carried out before the property is officially handed over. This gives the developer the opportunity to fix issues before you take ownership.

Shortly After Moving In

A standard snagging inspection shortly after completion is the most common option. You'll have had time to notice initial issues, and the inspector can conduct a thorough assessment.

Before Warranty Expires

Most new build homes come with a two-year developer warranty. A warranty inspection before this period expires ensures any issues that have developed are documented and can be reported.

Key Takeaway

Don't wait too long. The sooner defects are identified, the easier they are to resolve with the developer.
