What Is Snagging?

When you purchase a newly built or renovated property, it’s common to find defects that need correcting – from cosmetic imperfections to serious workmanship issues. This is where a snagging inspection comes in.

​

What is a “snag”?

A snag is any issue in the property that doesn't meet agreed quality standards or accepted building practice – whether it’s chipped paint, a misaligned door, or water pressure problems. Many of these can go unnoticed until after you've moved in – when they’re much harder to fix.

​

Common issues we identify:

• Misaligned tiles or uneven flooring

• Poor paintwork or surface finishes

• Defective doors, windows, or fixtures

• Water leaks, damp patches, or inadequate drainage

• Loose sockets or missing electrical fittings

• Safety, accessibility, or compliance issues

• Structural cracks or settlement signs

• Missing insulation or poor airtightness

​
