If you are buying a new-build home, apartment or investment property in or around Southampton, a snagging inspection can help you identify visible defects and record them before or shortly after handover.
When should you book a snagging inspection?
The best time to book a snagging inspection is usually before completion, before handover or as soon as possible after receiving the keys. This gives you a clearer record of visible defects, unfinished works and poor finishes while the property is still new.
If you have already moved in, a snagging report can still help you organise visible issues and raise them with the developer during the relevant defect reporting period.
