Snagging is the process of checking and verifying a new construction property in detail, looking to detect defects, identify poor workmanship and any other serious problems that do not comply with construction regulations.
In a new property, almost anything can be snagged during a snag inspection. Your snagging inspector will look for anything broken or damaged during the construction process, checking how well fixtures and fittings have been installed, verify the quality of the construction finish and decoration and the like. The types of problems a snagging inspector may find could include scratches on a window pane or counter, clouds on surfaces due to poor decoration, faulty ventilation fans, insufficient insulation on water pipes and tanks , uneven and poor turf laying (often caused by poor groundwork), a ladder off the tolerance or poor caulking on woodwork. A full list would be almost endless, as anything on a property could get detected. Most new homes in the UK will easy have about 100 constructive issues as most developments are built massively and on tight deadlines.
