What Is a Snagging Survey?
A snagging survey is a professional inspection carried out on a newly built home to identify defects or unfinished work left by the builder. While new homes should meet strict building standards, many properties still contain numerous issues ranging from cosmetic defects to more serious construction problems.
Our snagging surveys examine every accessible area of your property including internal finishes, external construction, roof coverings, insulation, drainage, and mechanical installations.

Common Defects Found in Liverpool New Build Homes
During snagging surveys in Liverpool we frequently identify a wide range of construction defects. These issues often go unnoticed during the excitement of moving into a new property.
• Poor plastering and uneven wall finishes
• Cracked plaster and settlement cracks
• Poorly fitted doors and windows
• Missing insulation in loft spaces
• Poor brickwork and mortar joints
• Roof tile alignment issues
• Drainage installation defects
• Inadequate ventilation causing condensation
• Poorly installed kitchens and bathrooms
• Electrical socket and switch issues
These defects are far more common than many buyers realise, which is why an independent snagging inspection can be extremely valuable.
Why New Build Homes Still Have Defects
Modern housing developments are often built quickly to meet demand, and this can sometimes affect build quality. Multiple trades working on tight schedules can lead to incomplete finishes, poor workmanship, or overlooked defects.
Even reputable developers can hand over properties with dozens of minor or significant issues. Identifying these problems early allows them to be corrected before they become costly to fix later.

When Should You Get a Snagging Survey
The best time to arrange a snagging survey is either just before legal completion or shortly after moving into your new property.
Developers are normally responsible for correcting defects identified during the early warranty period, so identifying issues quickly can save significant repair costs later.
Many buyers arrange inspections within the first few weeks of moving in.
