151 defects identified today on a 3 bedroom semi detached new build house in Boroughbridge, proving that a snag survey can be worth every penny when buying a new build property as the developer had fallen far short of even minimum standards! 🏡🔎

A relatively common problem when temperatures drop is condensation in roof spaces. We were called to investigate such an occurrence last week. Upon inspection it was found there was not sufficient ventilation within the roof space and also the home owner had partially boarded the roof space area which had resulted in insulation being compressed. Compressing insulation will reduce the performance and therefore allow warm air from the living area into the loft where it meets the colder air and condenses. Our recommendations for this particular example was to remove the boarding and reinstate the insulation levels and introduce some cross ventilation to the roof space.

A common issue we come across at snagging stage is walls not being square. This one was 12mm out of square with the others being similar. This is a very difficult issue to rectify at the point near to handover. This illustrates the lack of inspection contractors carry out during the build process.
