Frequently Asked Questions
What is Property Snagging?
When Should Snagging be Done?
What are the Most Common Snags?
- Untidy finishes on plasterwork, particularly around areas such as piping, media plates, light switches and plug sockets
- Poor finishing on grouting between tiles
- Surface cracking and joints showing through on ceilings and walls
- Damage to window and door frames – especially the underside of French Door as they are often dragged on the ground during fitting
- Treads not even on staircases
- Damage to skirting woodwork
- Units, and particularly wall units, with paint splashes
- Insufficient insulation on water pipes and tanks
- Mortar splashing on brickwork
- Uneven and poor turf laying – often caused by poor groundwork
How Long Should it Take for Snags to be Fixed?
Can snagging be done after completion?
Should I use a professional snagging inspector?
Who pays for snagging?
How long is the new build snagging period?
When should I book my inspection?
Can the developer deny access to the property for snagging?
If you have not completed then legally the property still belongs to the developer. That said you have a legal interest in the property. Due to this your solicitor will be able to arrange access to the property if the developer is proving to be difficult and there is a requirent for all developers to allow a Pre-Completion inspection so that any snags can be resolved before completion while the developers are still onsite. This will apply if your developer is registered with the New Homes Quality Board to allow you to employ someone to carry out a Pre-Completion Inspection.
How many defects (snags) do you usually find?
