FAQs

What is a snagging list?

A snagging list, commonly referred to as a snag list, is a compilation of faults found in a newly constructed property. This list is created through a visual examination conducted by a qualified expert. We offer this as part of our new build inspections in Brentwood.

What are some of the main snags?

  • Plasterwork patching and redecoration.
  • Incomplete grouting of ceramic and bathroom tiles.
  • Caulking required on skirting boards and architraves.
  • Block work not fully pointed.
  • Broken roof tiles.
  • Scratched or defective glazing.

When is the best time for a new build inspection in Brentwood?

If you are buying “off-plan,” ensure that you have the snagging inspection done before you exchange contracts. This allows you to adjust and update your contract to include any snagging issues that may be identified during our inspection.

If you’re buying on-plan, the best time for a snagging inspection is when the builder serves notice to complete. This is generally done two weeks before you move in, giving the builder a reasonable amount of time to correct any snags that are discovered during inspection.

Can a developer deny you access to the property?

In some cases, difficult developers may try and deny you access but, as you have a legal interest in the property in question, your solicitor will be able to arrange access for you.
