Snagging Survey: Why Do You Need One?

Buying a new home is an exciting experience, but it can also be stressful. With so many things to consider, it’s easy to overlook important details that could impact your enjoyment of the property. That’s why it’s essential to consider a snagging survey when purchasing a new home.

A snagging survey is a detailed inspection of a property to identify any defects or issues that must be addressed before moving in. The survey is typically carried out by a professional snagging surveyor who will assess the property and provide you with a detailed report of any issues that need to be addressed.

One of the main benefits of a snagging survey is that it can save you money in the long run. By identifying defects or issues before moving in, you can ensure that the developer or builder addresses them before the warranty period expires. This means that you won’t be left with the cost of repairing any issues that arise after you’ve moved in.

Another benefit of a snagging survey is ensuring that the property meets the necessary building standards and regulations. The surveyor will check that the property has been constructed to the required standard and that all necessary permits and approvals have been obtained. Knowing that the property is safe and meets all legal requirements can give you peace of mind.

A snagging survey can also help you to negotiate with the developer or builder. If any issues are identified during the survey, you can use this information to negotiate with the developer or builder for repairs or compensation. This can help you to ensure that the property is in the best possible condition before you move in.

It’s important to note that a snagging survey should not be seen as an alternative to a full-building survey. A snagging survey is a specific type of inspection that focuses on identifying any defects or issues that must be addressed before moving in. A complete building survey is a more comprehensive inspection that covers all aspects of the property and is typically carried out by a chartered surveyor.
