WHEN’S THE BEST TIME TO MAKE A SNAG LIST?

We would recommend carrying out the snagging process when the property is completely finished and exchange on the property has taken place.

If snagging is left until after completion then it is harder for the developer to challenge what damage was there upon completion. For obvious reasons, it is also easier for contractors to work in an empty property to address any defects or snagging issues.

As developers you are responsible for the first two years from the completion date to address any defects (including cosmetic ones) which you are legally obliged to fix as part of the 10-year warranty.

Our professional services will take away the hassle and strains of the home snagging process and manage both the highlighted snagging issues and the clients’ expectations, meaning that as the developer you can finish the build and move on to the next project without the worries of managing previous build defects. We will build a positive rapport with the clients and be present whilst snagging takes place on the property and provide a report of items we will agree to correct within the given timeframe.

As part of our service, we can manage not only the initial snagging process but also manage the development for the first two years and liaise directly with the warranty provider, meaning you do not have to be personally involved once exchange of contracts has taken place.
