Unfortunately, some surveys suggest that more than half of new-build homes are problematic. Obtain a snagging list from our professional surveyors to ensure your developer repairs all your new home’s defects in time for your arrival.
The average new build has between 50 and 150 defects, which range from untidy paint finishes to uneven floors and faulty wiring. The developer should complete any outstanding works before you move in, but they’re often slow or unwilling to act after receiving payment for the property.
The best time to have your snagging inspection is approx 1 week before completion. Not only is this arrangement more convenient for you to account for the least disruption (especially if major issues are found), it is also easier for the site to work from one comprehensive snagging list rather than you raising issues over several months.
The timescale builders require a snagging list from you varies from just a couple of days to a few months. If you have bought through a large developer such as Bovis, Persimmon, Barratt, Bellway, Bloor, Taylor Wimpey, Redrow (etc) we recommend that it is carried out during the first 2 months. giving you some sway before you submit your customer satisfaction survey.
