Your new home is likely the biggest investment you’ll ever make. A snagging inspection is your best protection against hidden defects that can become costly repairs. Skipping this step can leave you paying thousands for problems the builder should have fixed.




Why Snagging Is Essential




Detects both visible and hidden defects in your new build.

Ensures all work meets expected standards before the warranty period expires.

Provides a professional, builder-ready report prepared by a registered surveyor.





Common Defects Found




Poor insulation causing high energy bills

Faulty plumbing or leaks

Misaligned doors and windows

Brickwork or pointing defects

Substandard finishing and paintwork





Conclusion


A snagging inspection is not optional — it’s essential to protect your investment and avoid paying for defects later.
