Why should I snag my home?
Snagging your new build home can save a great deal of headache, hassle and heavy costs down the line. Even the most eagle-eyed of new homeowners may miss serious issues with their property and face pressure from pushy developers to hand over a list of faults within tight timescales.
Issues can range from uneven ceilings, missing insulation, poor joinery, structural complications, leaky taps, damaged units, defective heating installations and more.
GetSnagged provides an airtight solution to the problem. Our team of extensively experienced surveyors will find every fault in your home, no matter how small - to provide you with complete peace of mind and a stress-free move in.
Snagging your newbuild home will save you fortunes down the line in costs you shouldn’t have had to cover in the first place.
how does it work?
At GetSnagged, we employ only the most seasoned of industry experts and conduct surveys using top of the range specialist equipment to ensure a premium quality service.
Simply use our handy booking system to choose a day and time that suits you and one of our experts will arrive promptly.
The surveyor will spend a number of hours in your property depending on the size; comprehensively cataloguing and photographing all issues along the way.
Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a thoroughly detailed, yet simple digital report to review. You can share the PDF report with your developer or builder to discuss any of the snags listed.
If you have any questions before, during or after the survey, your dedicated snagger will be more than happy to help guide you through the process.
