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 long past this time due to poor workmanship or as part of the settlement process. This is why it is important to hire a professional snagging company like our company. HomeSnag Surveyors are experts in identifying issues with new-builds and use specialist equipment and software to produce one comprehensive snag list for you and the builder to easily follow.
We are an award winning company and the country's only RICS accredited Snagging Company, having refined our inspection process and knowledge over the 7 years we have been established.

An inspector sent on behalf of your builder will check that your property has been built within building "tolerances" but typically will not pay any attention to the final finish and may not be able to check the areas out of sight that we inspect. They also often miss important 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. However the opportune time is within the first 2 months of moving in so that the trades on site can rectify the snags. This is also due to most builders operating the HBF survey scheme which asks you to score your builder 8=weeks after moving in... It is in their best interests to get a favourable survey from homeowners so they tend to go above and beyond within this timeframe (and more agreeable to rectifying the snags).

As a professional snagging company, we offer 2 main services to ensure you are getting the quality you deserve from your new-build home. The first is a Pre-Completion Inspection which is a checklist issued to you within just 24 hours. A PCI allows us to check the fundamentals such as plumbing, heating, brickwork, joinery and brickwork. It ensures that the builders are aware of the issues that do not meet standards set by the New Home Quality Board.
The second survey we offer is a Snagging Survey. This allows us to go into more detail than the PCI checklist and is typically only available post-completion. The checks are broader and generally more in-depth and so we allow for 48 hours write-up before sending you the survey findings.
To book either survey with us is easy and quick to do. You can call our office between the hours of 9am-5:30pm Monday to Friday or book online at any time. Simply enter your postcode of your new-build, choose an available date and enter the details of the property and let us handle the rest.
