Why You Need a Snagging Survey BEFORE /AFTER Completion
Once you legally complete your new build, the power shifts to you – and away from the developer
Before completion, they must fix defects. After completion, you are chasing them.
A professional snagging survey before handover means:
- Defects logged while the builder is still responsible
- Issues fixed before you move in
- No stress, no disputes, no delays
- Your investment protected from day one
Even brand-new homes often have defects — rushed finishes, leaks, missing insulation, uneven floors, scratched frames and more. We catch issues early so you don’t pay for them later.
- Full internal & external inspection
- Professional PDF snagging report with photos
- NHBC warranty compliant defect list
- Fast turnaround & fixed pricing
- Independent – we work for YOU, not the developer
