Snagging

◆

A professional inspection of your new home before you accept the keys, so every defect is fixed by the developer, not by you.

What it is

Why snagging matters

A snag is any defect or unfinished detail in a new home: a cracked tile, a door that doesn't close, a leaking tap, uneven paint, a socket that doesn't work. New homes almost always have some.

Before handover, the developer fixes these at no cost to you. After you sign and take the keys, getting them fixed becomes slower and harder. A snagging inspection gives you a written, photographed list to hand to the developer before you accept the home.

When to do it

The right moment

  • At handover: once the developer invites you to inspect, and before you sign the handover documents.
  • Resale homes: before transfer, to agree repairs or price with the seller.
  • Before the defects period ends: developers usually cover defects for a set period after handover, often 12 months. A second check before it ends catches anything that appeared since.
How it works

From inspection to keys

  1. BookOnce your handover invitation arrives, I arrange the inspection with a professional snagging company.
  2. InspectInspectors check the home room by room, with moisture, thermal and electrical testing. I attend with them.
  3. ReportYou receive a photographed report listing every defect and where it is.
  4. SubmitThe report goes to the developer, who schedules the repairs.
  5. Re-checkRepairs are checked before you accept the keys, so nothing is signed off unfinished.

I work with a professional snagging company so every inspection is done properly, with the right equipment and a clear report.
