A snag list report identifies any defects or unfinished work in a new build property. Here are the key advantages of investing in a snag list report before finalising your purchase.
1. Defects
Despite rigorous quality control measures, new builds can often have minor (and sometimes major) issues. Our snag list report all aspects of the property, from cosmetic imperfections to structural problems, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
2. Builder Accountability
By identifying defects early, you can address issues to the developer before you complete the purchase. This saves you the hassle and expense of dealing with repairs after moving in. New Build developers are usually obliged to rectify issues highlighted in a snag list, ensuring you move into a home that meets your expectations.
3. Protect Your Investment
A snag list report can highlight significant issues that might affect the property’s value. Identifying these problems early can protect you from potential financial losses and help you negotiate a better deal if necessary.
4. Gain peace of mind
Knowing that your new home has been professionally inspected and any issues have been addressed gives you confidence and peace of mind. This allows you to focus on enjoying your new home rather than worrying about unexpected problems.
5. An insight to Building Regulations
Our RICS surveyor brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the snag list inspection process. Their trained eye can spot issues that an untrained observer might miss, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of your new build property.
