Common Defects in New Build Homes
While new homes are expected to be in pristine condition, it’s not uncommon to find defects that may have been overlooked during construction. Common issues include poor plastering, uneven flooring, misaligned doors, and faulty electrical fittings. Even small defects, like incomplete grouting or paint smudges, can impact the quality and appearance of your new home. Our snagging survey catches these issues early, allowing you to address them with your builder before they escalate. By spotting these problems upfront, you can ensure your new home truly meets your standards.

New Build Snagging Survey FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Get the answers you need to better understand our New Build Snagging Survey.
What is a new build snagging survey?
A new build snagging survey is a detailed inspection conducted after the construction of a property to identify any defects, unfinished work, or areas that do not meet the required standards. This survey helps ensure that the building is in top condition before the property is handed over.
Do I need a survey if my builder has already signed off the work?
Yes, you still need a snagging survey, even if your builder has signed off the works. The builder’s sign-off typically indicates that they consider the construction complete and in compliance with their standards. However, this does not guarantee the absence of defects or ensure that all aspects of the build meet the required quality.
How long does the survey take?
The survey duration depends on the size and complexity of the property. Typically, it takes a few hours to complete, followed by time to generate the report.
Can I carry out a snagging survey myself?
While you can perform your own snagging inspection, having a professional registered surveyor conduct the survey is highly recommended. Professional surveyors have the experience, tools, and knowledge to identify issues that may not be obvious to the untrained eye, ensuring a more thorough inspection.
Will you provide a detailed report after the survey?
Yes, we provide a comprehensive report outlining the condition of your new property. This includes photographs, a list of any defects or concerns, and actionable recommendations for resolution.
