RICS Snagging Survey
Overview
A new build snagging survey should be commissioned for any newly built property that you are going to purchase, ideally before you exchange contracts, but it can be within the first 2 years.
Our surveyors will inspect to report on problems on new build properties, from minor defects including cosmetic, to more significant structural problems. A new build home should be problem free, and we can help equip you with the information you need to provide to the developer to get it to the highest standard on handover.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
Snagging is a survey on a new build house or flat that is undertaken by one of our qualified surveyors to identify defects or problems that the purchaser will want rectified. These issues will be noted down as ‘snags’ within one of our reports, with associated photos, and this report can be given to the builders or developer with your request to rectify them.
A snag may be something that is damaged, broken, fitted with poor workmanship or incomplete/unfinished.
Snags can vary from very minor issues such as cosmetic blemishes through to breaches of building regulations.
We will perform a detailed survey of the property you are planning to purchase. This includes everything from all internal components, plastering, tiling, kitchen, bathroom, loft space to the external components of the building – roof, joinery, masonry to the landscaping, garages, paths and fencing..
