What is a snagging survey?

A snagging survey is a visual inspection of a newly built property to identify any defects, poor workmanship, or incomplete work. It provides a comprehensive list of issues (snags) for the developer to rectify under their warranty.

When should I get a snagging survey?

The best time is usually just before you move in, but you can have one done at any time during the first two years of your developer warranty period.

Will the developer fix the snags you find?

Yes, developers are obligated to fix defects identified within the initial warranty period (usually two years). Our detailed, photographic report provides the evidence you need to ensure they take action.
