Common Questions

What is a snagging survey, and why do I need one?

A snagging survey is a thorough inspection of a new build property to identify defects or issues that need to be rectified by the developer. It's essential because even new homes can have problems due to rushed workmanship or oversight. A snagging survey ensures your home is finished to the highest standard.

When is the best time to have a snagging survey done?

The ideal time is before you complete the purchase and move in. However, if that's not possible, it's recommended to have it done as soon as possible after moving in, typically within the first two years while the developer is responsible for defects under the warranty.

Who performs a snagging survey?

A snagging survey should be carried out by a qualified professional with experience in new build inspections. Our surveyors are experts in identifying defects and have a keen eye for detail.

What types of issues can a snagging survey identify?

A snagging survey can identify a wide range of issues, from minor cosmetic defects to significant structural problems. This includes poor workmanship, incomplete work, plumbing and electrical faults, insulation issues, and compliance with building regulations.

Why is a snagging survey important for new builds?

New build properties can often have defects due to construction deadlines and cost-cutting measures. A snagging survey ensures that these issues are identified and corrected by the developer, ensuring your new home is safe, functional, and built to the expected standards.

What should I do if my snagging survey identifies problems?

Present the snagging report to your developer and request that they rectify the issues. Developers are typically obliged to fix defects identified within a certain period after completion. If they refuse, you may need to escalate the matter or seek legal advice.

How long does a snagging survey take?

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the property. Typically, a snagging survey can take between 2 to 5 hours. Larger properties may require more time for a thorough inspection.

How much does a snagging survey cost in EH4?

The cost varies based on the property's size and location. Prices typically start from £295. We provide instant quotes tailored to your specific needs.

Can I perform a snagging survey myself?

While you can inspect your property yourself, professional snagging surveyors have the expertise to identify issues that may be overlooked by an untrained eye. Their reports are also more likely to be taken seriously by developers.
