Independent Professional Home Snagging Inspections

Snagging is a term used in the construction industry and is for the identification of defects along with the resolution. It is used extensively by new home buyers, especially those buying off-plan, landlords who need to pay a deposit back to a tenant and by property investors who want to make a sound financial investment.

You can draw up a DIY snagging list yourself if you like. But there are a lot of advantages to hiring a professional snagging company. Professional snagging services can save you a lot of time and hassle and offer a much more comprehensive snagging report. Professional snagging services know the things that go wrong with a new build house or flat most often, and where and what to look for. They know from experience when something is right …. and when something is wrong.

Ideally prior to legal completion. That way the builder has the time and opportunity to remedy snags before you move in. If that is not possible then it should be done as soon as possible after completion. However the snagging inspection can take place at any time in the first 2 years of occupation.
