Why use a professional snagger?
|
Hiring an independent snagging surveyor is vital part of purchasing a new-build property, especially with large developers with a quantity not quality approach. The most common mistake by homeowners is to base decisions of overall quality on the internal finish. As you will see in our 10 tips for homeowners, some of the worst houses we have inspected externally had a relatively good finish inside. Bear in mind we are professional snaggers that do this for a living, so we have the qualifications, specialist equipment and years of experience to spot defects you can't.
As you will read on our website, housing experts, newspaper journalists and solicitors advise using a professional snagging company to snag your new build house / apartment prior to completing to ensure a good standard before you accept the keys, You can then hand 1 comprehensive snag report over to your Site Manager to quickly and efficiently rectify the issues. The best time to get a snagging survey conducted is as soon as move in or just beforehand if the builder will allow. However we can attend at any time leading up to the the warranty period (normally 2 years) the builder provide. The benefit of getting a HomeSnag professional snagger to inspect your new-build property is that we know the Building Regulations and Tolerances. When issues are deemed out of tolerance or in breach of Building Regs, we not only take the picture of the issue but also include the actual regulation in our report so there is no argument. Unlike the process of most other snagging companies who simply walk around and identify issues by eye (which is then dictated for a secretary to type) our snagging inspector will photograph and describe each issue and identify the trade required, all whilst we are on site. This alone is why HomeSnag confidently offer the marketing leading snagging inspection service in the UK, and our verified 5 star customer reviews concur. |
