Frequently
Asked Questions
A snagging inspection identifies defects or unfinished work in a newly built home before you move in.
Ideally, it should be completed before you move in or within the first two years under the builder’s warranty.
Defects range from cosmetic issues like poor paintwork to structural faults and non-compliance with building regulations.
At Snag Surveyor, RICS-accredited professionals with extensive experience in construction perform the inspection.
