RICS Regulated FirmWhat is a Snagging Inspection?
A snagging inspection is a detailed examination of a newly built property before you complete your purchase. Think of it as your final quality check before accepting the keys.
New build properties often have defects ranging from minor cosmetic issues to significant construction problems. Our inspection identifies these issues early, when the developer is still obligated to fix them under warranty.
The inspection is particularly valuable before legal completion, giving you maximum negotiating power and ensuring the developer addresses all issues prior to handover.
