Professional Snagging Surveys
Snagging inspections are specifically created for the purchase of new build properties. With the demand for housing increasing year on year, developments are being completed quickly which can lead to poor quality and 'snags' (defects). A snagging survey identifies any potential defects or issues within the property, some of which may be decorative, the others more significant.
When should I have a Snagging Survey?
Our recommendation is to instruct a snagging survey before handover, as it provides you with the time for these issues to be rectified before you move in. If you have already moved into the property you can have a snagging report carried out up to 3 years of the warranty date (these time frames may differ so it is always worth double checking with your developer). During this time period the developer is required to resolve any defects reported.
RICS Accredited Snagging Inspections
All snagging surveys are undertaken by our RICS accredited Chartered Surveyors. Following the survey a report will be produced within 5 working days of the inspection. A copy of this report will be sent to you and another directly to the builder or developer (if requested). This report will outline any minor or major defects, with technical information on the construction of the property included.
