Snagging is the process of thoroughly inspecting a newly built or renovated property to identify defects, unfinished work, or substandard finishes before handover or occupancy. These can range from minor cosmetic issues like chipped paint and poorly aligned tiles, to more serious problems like plumbing leaks, faulty electrical fittings, poor insulation, or structural gaps.
Key Elements of a Snagging Inspection: Wall and ceiling finishes
Floor tiling and leveling
Windows, doors, and locks
Electrical sockets and switches
Air conditioning and ventilation
Plumbing and water pressure
Kitchen and bathroom fittings
Paintwork and touch-ups
External works (if applicable)
Why Snagging is Critical for New Homeowners: Protects Your Investment:
A home is often the largest financial investment in one’s life. A snagging inspection ensures you're getting what you paid for—nothing less.
Uncovers Hidden Issues: Many defects are not visible to the untrained eye. Professional snagging helps identify faults before they turn into costly repairs later.
Ensures Builder Accountability: A detailed snagging report empowers homeowners to demand corrections from the builder/developer before handover.
Peace of Mind: Knowing your new home is safe, functional, and finished to standard removes stress and improves long-term satisfaction.
