Snagging surveys are essential inspections carried out on newly constructed properties to identify defects or incomplete work before the buyer takes possession. These surveys help ensure that the home meets quality standards and contractual agreements. A snagging survey typically checks for issues like poor craftsmanship, faulty installations, or compliance with building regulations. Common problems found include cracked walls, misaligned doors, leaking pipes, and uneven flooring. In the UK, where new-build homes are often sold off-plan, Snagging surveys play a crucial role in protecting buyers from substandard workmanship. Developers are usually responsible for fixing snags, but without a thorough survey, minor issues can turn into costly repairs later.
