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.

Booking a Snagging Survey is simple! Use our online booking system to choose a date that works for you. Our expert surveyors will conduct a thorough inspection and provide you with a full report to help you secure the necessary repairs.
