FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Snag Surveys

What is a snagging inspection?

A snagging inspection is a thorough assessment of a property to identify any defects, flaws, or unfinished work that may need to be addressed before the property is considered complete or handed over to the owner.

Why should I get a snagging inspection?

A snagging inspection is essential to ensure that your property meets the highest standards of quality and workmanship. It helps identify any issues that need to be rectified by the developer or builder, saving you time and potential costly repairs in the future.

When is the best time to schedule a snagging inspection?

The ideal time to have a snagging inspection is before completion or within the first 7 days of moving in, allowing defects to be identified as early as possible. However, if you have already been in your home for longer than this, it is absolutely still worth having an inspection carried out, particularly while the property remains within its warranty period.

How long does a snagging inspection take?

Approximately 2-6 hours, depending on the size, condition and complexity of the property.

What happens after the snagging inspection?

After the snagging inspection, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing any defects or issues identified during the inspection. This report can be used as a reference when discussing necessary repairs or remedial work with the builder or developer.

Can I attend the snagging inspection?

For a pre-completion inspection, generally no, as developers normally only allow the inspector access to the property. For a post-completion inspection, yes, the homeowner can be present during the inspection.

How soon will I receive the snagging inspection report?

At Snag Surveys, we aim to deliver the inspection report within 24 to 48 hours after the completion of the inspection. This ensures that you receive the report promptly and can initiate any necessary actions.

Are the drone roof inspection and thermal imaging scan included?

Yes. A drone roof inspection and a standard thermal imaging scan are included as standard with our snagging inspections, where conditions allow. More detailed Internal and Full Thermal Inspections are available as optional extras from October to March.

Can I request a re-inspection after the initial snagging inspection?

Yes, we offer re-inspections within 12 months of the initial snagging inspection. This allows us to assess any remedial work carried out by the builder or developer to ensure that the identified issues have been adequately addressed.

We used Snag Surveys Ltd for an end of warranty snagging report before our 2 year developer warranty expires to give ourselves peace of mind that there are no issues, or so that any issues could be identified and rectified. … Will was punctual, professional, polite and friendly. He conducted the survey of the house smoothly and took the time to point out and explain issues to me so that I could clearly see and understand what was wrong. … Will then wrote up a detailed report and this was sent to me the same day. … The pricing is competitive and absolutely worth every penny.

We had our new build home in Melling snagged by Will yesterday and couldn't be happier with the service we received. From booking through to receiving the report, everything was professional, straightforward and efficient. … What really impressed us was the turnaround time - we received our full snagging report the very same day. The report was clear, well organised and included detailed descriptions and photographs of every issue, making it really easy to send straight to the developer.

Extremely thorough and professional. Will the surveyor examined our property so very well, we were surprised and very reassured by the detail he went to - and the end report on conclusion including the drones images of our roof, were excellent. He gave us confidence to have the detailed plan to share with our developer and we had the impression that they got on fixing the property snagging much more quickly because we'd used a professional snagger.

I recently used Snag Surveys Ltd for a snagging inspection on my new-build home, and I'm extremely pleased with the service from start to finish. … The inspector highlighted several issues that needed attention, while also reassuring me that many aspects of the build were completed to a high standard. … A particular highlight was the drone photography - the aerial images were excellent quality and provided a view of the roof and surrounding areas that I would never have been able to see otherwise. … The report has made it much easier for me to engage with my developer and ensure everything is put right.
