A new build snagging survey gives you a structured way to identify defects before they become part of everyday life in your new home. A professional snagging inspection checks accessible areas carefully for visible workmanship problems, incomplete items, damage and finishes that may need attention. The aim is simple: provide a clear picture of the property's condition at the time of inspection.
The best timing depends on when your developer allows access. Some buyers can arrange snagging close to handover, while others need the inspection after completion. Either way, having a systematic record can make conversations about remedial work much easier. To discuss timing for your property, get in touch with our Birmingham team.
The inspection follows the property logically from area to area. The inspection looks at accessible internal and external elements relevant to the home, recording observable defects rather than relying on a quick visual sweep.
The inspection checks visible surfaces for poor finishes, damage, incomplete decoration and other noticeable workmanship issues.
Accessible doors and windows are checked for visible defects, operation issues, alignment concerns and finishing details.
The inspection examines accessible fittings, units, sanitary items, sealant and visible finishing work for defects or incomplete installation.
Skirting, architraves, fitted components and other accessible finishing details are reviewed for visible workmanship issues.
Accessible visible plumbing and electrical fittings are checked for obvious installation or finishing concerns within the inspection scope.
Where applicable and safely accessible, relevant exterior finishes and areas belonging to the property can also be checked for visible defects.
A professional snagging inspection is systematic rather than a quick walkthrough.
The defects identified are presented clearly so you have an organised record to work from.
