Frequently
Asked Questions
A Snagging Survey is a professional inspection of a new-build home to identify defects, poor workmanship, or unfinished areas. It ensures your property is up to standard before you move in. If you’re buying a new-build, a Snagging Survey is highly recommended to avoid costly repairs later.
The best time to book a Snagging Survey is before you move in, ideally after the developer has completed construction but before your completion date. However, you can also arrange a Snagging Survey up to two years after moving in, as most developers provide a warranty period for repairs.
Our Snagging Survey covers:
- Cosmetic defects (paintwork, plaster, flooring)
- Structural issues (walls, roofing, brickwork)
- Plumbing, heating, and electrical checks
- Windows, doors, and insulation quality
- Drainage and external areas
Yes, if defects are reported within your developer’s warranty period, they are required to fix them. Our Snagging Survey provides a detailed report that you can present to your builder to request repairs.
