Snagging - The term is now widely known outside the building industry through
inspections, mainly due to the fact that some new build properties are now purchased
by home buyers off-plan (i.e. before the property is actually built) and home buyers who may be dissatisfied with the property after construction can find professional help and advice to commence the snagging process.
In some cases, snagging can be a source of conflict between the buyers of new homes and the house builders themselves, the aim of the inspectors is to detail home defects in a report and offer dispute resolution.

Forum - Please post your comments in the
Forum for New Build Homes and Property for home defects reports..
Ideally the inspection should be undertaken before you move in to your new home in order that the site developer will have sufficient time to assess and resolve any problems before you complete your sale, but snagging can be carried out any time in the first two years of your NHBC, Premier or Zurich building warranty or
guarantee.

cost of this work can vary, generally the smaller the house, the
lower the price, typically a 3 bedroom house would cost approx.
