Buying a new build or recently moved into one? 🏡

It’s easy to assume everything has been checked before handover, but many issues only become obvious once you know what to look for.

A snagging inspection helps identify defects, poor workmanship and unfinished details before they become your problem to chase later.

Common areas worth checking include:

âś… Windows and doors opening, closing and locking properly
âś… Cracked, scratched or poorly finished paintwork
âś… Damaged frames, hinges, handles and trims
âś… Uneven floors, loose fittings or visible gaps
âś… Kitchen units, plinths, worktops and appliances
âś… Bathrooms, sealant, tiling and water pressure
âś… Loft, insulation, ventilation and access points
âś… External brickwork, drainage, fences, gates and paths
âś… Any visible damage, poor alignment or incomplete finishes

Even small snags can become frustrating once you’ve moved in, especially if they affect how doors close, how water drains, how finishes wear, or how rooms function day to day.

A professional snagging report gives you a clear, organised list of issues with photographic evidence, making it much easier to raise defects with your developer and keep a record of what needs putting right.

Whether you’re about to complete, have just collected your keys, or are still within your early ownership period, it’s worth getting your home checked properly.

Surrey Snagging provides detailed new build inspections across Surrey and surrounding areas.

A snagging inspection is a detailed check of a newly built property to identify defects, unfinished work, poor workmanship or issues that may not be obvious during a quick viewing or handover.

While a new build should be finished to a high standard, small issues can easily be missed. These can include anything from poorly fitted doors and windows, damaged paintwork, uneven flooring and cracked tiles, to external drainage concerns, insulation issues, sealant gaps, loose fittings or unfinished areas.

The benefit of having a professional snagging report is that everything is clearly documented for you, with photographic evidence and a structured list of defects that can be sent to your developer.

This makes it much easier to:

âś… Understand exactly what needs fixing
âś… Raise issues clearly with your developer
âś… Avoid missing hidden or easily overlooked defects
âś… Keep a written record of the condition of the property
âś… Get problems addressed before they become bigger frustrations
âś… Move into your home with more confidence and peace of mind

For many buyers, the biggest value of snagging is reassurance. You get an independent set of eyes on the property, a detailed report, and a clearer understanding of whether your new home has been finished properly.

Ideally, a snagging inspection should be carried out before completion or as soon as possible after you receive the keys. However, it can still be useful if you have already moved in and are within your developer’s defect reporting period.

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. A snagging inspection helps make sure the finish, workmanship and details are properly checked before those issues become yours to chase alone.

Refurbishment projects can look fantastic on the surface…
But rushed finishes, incomplete work and hidden defects are more common than people realise.

That’s why refurbishment snagging surveys matter.

We help identify issues before they become expensive frustrations later down the line, giving you a clear report of what needs attention.

From finishing quality to fixtures, fittings and workmanship, we take a detailed look so you can move forward with confidence.

Most people hear the word “snagging” and immediately think of new build homes.

But pre-purchase snagging inspections can be just as valuable đź‘€

A new build snagging survey focuses on defects, finishing issues and workmanship before or shortly after handover.

A pre-purchase inspection looks at the condition of a property before you commit to buying, helping highlight potential concerns early.

Different inspections. Same goal:

âś” Peace of mind
âś” Better awareness
âś” Fewer surprises later on

If you’re unsure which inspection is right for your situation, we’re always happy to help.

🏗️ Think your new build is finished properly? Look closer…

Even the best construction projects can have issues hiding beneath the surface. With so many moving parts, it’s very common for things to be missed.

Here are 10 of the most common snagging issues we see on site 👇

🚪 Doors & windows that don’t fit properly
🧱 Cracks appearing in walls & ceilings
đź“Ź Uneven floors (yes, really!!)
đźšż Plumbing problems like leaks or low pressure
⚡ Electrical faults or not enough sockets
🎨 Poor paint finishes and missed areas
🧩 Uneven or badly laid tiles
🪚 Crooked fixtures, shelves or fittings
đź’¨ Ventilation issues leading to damp
❄️ Insulation that just isn’t doing its job

These might seem small at first… but left unchecked, they can turn into costly, long term problems.

🔍 That’s where a professional snagging survey comes in.
We find the issues before they become your problem.

🏠 Common Snagging Issues Found in New Build Homes

While you might expect a new build to be perfect… the reality is that many new homes have defects. With developers working to tight deadlines, small issues can sometimes be missed during construction.

In fact, the National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey found that 95% of new build buyers reported snags after moving in!

Some of the most common issues identified during snagging surveys include:

🎨 Poor paintwork – streaks, drips, or uneven finishes

🚪 Misaligned doors and windows – difficult to open, close, or lock properly

⚡ Electrical or plumbing issues – loose sockets, faulty fixtures, or leaks

🧱 Cracks in walls or ceilings – often caused by settlement in new homes

❄️ Insufficient insulation – leading to higher energy bills and uncomfortable rooms

If left unresolved, these snags can worsen over time and become costly to repair. A professional snagging survey helps identify issues early so they can be addressed before they become bigger problems.
