Snagging is the process of picking up defects (snags) within a property. Generally referring to new build homes.

Although anybody can complete a snagging service, that doesn’t necessarily mean they know what they’re doing. To put this into context. Anybody could take a look at a car prior to purchase. However, only a mechanic or someone with expert knowledge could ensure the car is in working order to purchase. We use our knowledge, experience and equipment to ensure your home is professionally inspected and look at all parts of the property to help ensure you are getting exactly what you paid for from your developer.

Inspections can provide the consumer with the most leverage if taken place just before completion. However, in order to provide the most value and inspect the property properly, it’s important that the builder has completed all of their own snagging and the property has been cleaned and protective films have been removed etc. Some developers do not allow access to the property prior to completion.

No, you don’t need to be present while our inspectors are at your property. However, if you prefer to be present, then most welcome.

Yes we do. This will be charged at a different rate. Please contact us for a quotation.

We only add “Out of Tolerance“ snags on the report as an independent professionals, so if there is anything on the report your developer refuses to fix, you can report them to your 10 years new build structural warranty provider for intervention.

However we have never come across a client who had to raise the above issues after sending our report to their developer.

We aim to have the report PDF emailed to you within 24hrs

Yes, we do! Get in touch with the number of properties you wish to have inspected. Whether you have purchased multiple properties yourself or want to join up with a neighbour or friend. We can create a bespoke package just for you.

This depends on the size and the level of quality of the property. The average number of defects picked up both minor and major ranges from an average of 100 – 200 snags for a standard 3 bedrooms property. It could be as little as 50 and as much as 300+.

Yes! We offer an individual service to independent builders who wish to ensure their properties are of a premium quality.
