Snagging - the very name is enough to put you off. No one likes having to deal with problems or hitches. But for anyone who buys a newly built or converted property, the S-word can be crucial. ​Do it right and you could save yourself thousands of pounds. Do it wrong and you could end up with a problem property
"In November 2017, the family hired independent inspection company  HomeSnag to do a report - and they identified nearly 150 problems"
Most problems with new-build homes are cosmetic and easily fixed. For that reason, a traditional survey is likely to be a little excessive - and this is where snagging surveys come in... ​​​We recommend hiring a professional surveyor to conduct your snagging survey"​​
