What is a New Build Snagging Inspection?

It involves detailed checks of the construction quality, finishes, fixtures, and fittings to ensure that the property meets the required standards and specifications.

When to Arrange a New Build Snagging Inspection?
Inspections can take place at any time within two years of handover. The inspection can be booked before the final handover from the developer. to allow sufficient time to address any identified issues prior to completion, which ensures that the property is delivered in the best possible state, meeting your expectations and quality standards.
Or the inspection can be conducted after handover which comes with the added benefit of drone footage and thermal imaging.
What to Expect from a New Build Snagging Inspection Report?
A comprehensive new build snagging inspection report includes detailed findings, photographic evidence, and recommendations for resolving the identified issues. It serves as a valuable document for communicating with the developer and seeking necessary corrections or improvements.
