New Build Snagging Surveys

A must for any newly constructed home.

The new build snagging survey is designed to identify snags in the home. Snag examples are poor finish to skirting boards, poor paint finished and damage to windows, brick work and guttering.

The whole property is surveyed, which ensures you're buying a quality new build which has been built to good standards that are safe for you and your family. 

Snagging Surveys are delivered in reports, which are compiled with photos and clear details ready to be handed over to your developer. Your developer can then go through your report with you to jointly decide on repairs and corrections. 

The benefit of having a professional carry out the survey is not only the knowledge of what to look for, but also the benefit of reducing buyer/developer conflict by impartially identifying unacceptable works. 

The best time to get a snagging survey is when the house is completely finished but before you move in to it, around the time of exchanging contracts. This is because it will give the developer time to repair the snags before you move in. 

You usually have 2 years from the date of moving in to identify defects for your developer to fix under legal obligation.
