Expert Home Inspectors in Corby

Once your new build property is completed you may find there are some defects or problems with the property. This is what's called a "snag". This could be anything that is damaged, broken, missing, or not working correctly. This could be anything from badly finished plasterwork, missing door stops, or leaking sinks. Snags are often cosmetic but more serious issues can be picked up like damp and missing insulation.

If you have recently bought a new build property we recommend a snagging survey as soon as possible after completion. You are responsible for reporting any defects to your house builder you can put the list together yourself or you can call in an independent snagging company to do it for you. You can have a snagging inspection done anytime within your 2-year warranty to give yourselves some peace of mind that your property is up to the standards you are paying for.

A trained eye is likely to pick up more defects than a homeowner. On average we pick up around 100 defects in a typical inspection. A snagging inspection will give you the peace of mind your property has been built to a good standard.

Once your snagging survey is complete you will be sent a copy of your report. You will need to liaise with your house builder for them to fix the found defects.
