WHAT IS A SNAGGING LIST SURVEY?
Snagging list surveys are for new build properties. They are an inventory of things you are not happy with or that have not been finished by the building developer.
Our qualified surveyors visit your property and prepare a photographic schedule of items which have not been completed satisfactorily by the building contractor. This document should be submitted to the developer so they can conclude any remaining items prior to the completion of your purchase.
According to the New Homes Review, more than nine out of 10 new homeowners said that they experienced snags or defects in their new property once they moved in and half of these people were unhappy with the service the developer provided to rectify the fault.
With a snagging list survey prior to completion, these problems can be identified earlier in the process giving you the information you need to ensure that defects are dealt with before you pick up the keys.
As an additional service this report can include a valuation of the finished property.
In some circumstances, a snagging list survey might be able to help to renegotiate with the developer.
