Frequently Asked Questions

What is a snagging survey?

A snagging survey is an inspection of a new-build property intended to identify defects, incomplete work and finish issues that may need attention.

When should I arrange a snagging survey?

People commonly arrange a snagging survey around the time a new-build property is being completed or after they have moved in. The appropriate timing can depend on the property and your circumstances.

Can I enquire about both houses and flats?

Yes. You can submit an enquiry for a new-build house or flat. Include the property type and any useful details in the enquiry form.

What does a snagging report cover?

A snagging report records issues identified during the inspection so they can be raised with the developer or builder. The exact scope and format of any report should be confirmed with the independent snagging survey provider handling your enquiry.

Can I arrange a snagging survey after completion?

Yes, you can make an enquiry about a post-completion snagging survey. An independent provider can discuss the property, timing and available options with you.

What information should I include in my enquiry?

Please provide your name, email address, phone number and postcode, together with useful details such as whether the property is a house or flat and the number of bedrooms.

What happens after I submit the form?

Snagging Survey Liverpool operates an online enquiry service. Your details may be shared with an appropriate independent snagging survey provider so they can respond to your enquiry, discuss your requirements and, where appropriate, provide information or a quotation.

Am I obliged to proceed after making an enquiry?

No. Submitting an enquiry does not oblige you to proceed. Any quotation, appointment, scope of work and contractual terms should be agreed directly with the independent provider.
