What is Snagging?

"Snagging" is a necessary process of identifying issues with your new build property. Snagging issues range from leaks, heating faults, un-level ceilings, floors and walls, damaged units, missing insulation, poor joinery and structural issues. For homeowners, it is a notoriously stressful and time-consuming process which lasts months or even years.
Some developers pressure customers to give them a snag list within just 7 days, although issues with the house can develop due to poor workmanship or as part of the settlement process. 

​The importance of hiring a snagging company is that we are experts in identifying issues with specialist equipment, and provide one comprehensive snag list for you and the builder to easily follow.

An inspector sent on behalf of your builder will inspect that the house has been built within building "tolerances" but typically will not pay any attention to the final finish. This is why a professional snagging inspector is required to check the quality after their inspection process. They also miss things as they do not spend the time or have the equipment we have when inspecting your new-build home.

​Most developers offer a warranty period typically of 2 years which means there is no immediate cut-off point for you to instruct us to snag your house.
