Snagging Survey FAQs

One common question is about the warranty period. It’s important to conduct snagging surveys within this time to ensure any defects are covered by the developer. This maximises the benefits of your snagging survey.

When Is the Best Time to Complete a Snagging Report?

The best time to undertake a snagging report is soon after your completion date. Having carried out their own checks during the build process this should allow your developer to have fulfilled all of their obligations in producing a perfect home for you. We can then thoroughly inspect your home for any defects which are below standards or outside of acceptable tolerances. However, irrelevant of any list produced, you still have your two year warranty period to inform your developer of any issues which may arise.

The Difference Between Snagging and Structural Surveys

It’s vital to understand that snagging surveys and structural surveys target different aspects of a property. A snagging survey focuses on minor issues, like problems with fixtures and fittings or poor workmanship in your new-build property. However, if there are significant visual issues these of course will be reported on our report. On the other hand, a structural survey delves into the building’s fundamental integrity, identifying major issues that could affect its safety and value. Both are important, but they serve different purposes.
