What is Property Snagging?

Property snagging refers to the process of identifying and documenting defects or issues in a newly constructed or renovated property before a buyer takes possession of it. This can include physical defects such as interior or exterior damages, poor workmanship, or incomplete or substandard installations.

 

Snagging is typically done by a professional snagging specialist who conducts a thorough inspection of the property, noting down any snags or defects in a detailed report. The report is then shared with the developer or builder to rectify the identified issues before the buyer moves into the property.

 

Property snagging is important as it ensures that the property meets the agreed-upon standards and specifications, and that the buyer does not have to deal with the hassles of rectifying any issues after moving in. It helps protect the buyer's investment and provides them with a defect-free property.
