But if you&#8217;re buying a new build home, why should you need a snagging survey? After all, the builder has just completed it and the building, fixtures and fittings are all brand new &#8211; surely everything will be perfect and you can live trouble-free with an excellent EPC rating and no worries. And the property developer is still on site constructing other brand new properties so will be readily on hand to immediately deal with any necessary remedial work.<\/p>\r\n<p>Sadly, that simply isn&#8217;t the case with many new build buildings and their builders.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What is a Snagging Survey?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Known also as the <strong>New Build Assessment<\/strong> or\u00a0<strong>New Build Snagging Survey<\/strong>, this is a specialist survey for new homes that will <strong>identify mistakes.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The typical Snagging Survey will look at as much as possible, given the constraints at the time. Many things could be apparent, such as missing fire breaks, badly fitted windows or even poorly finished paintwork.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>It is not unusual for numerous defects to be found, even in brand new builds.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An independent Chartered Surveyor is as an industry expert, who can highlight any potential problems, so they can be corrected. Your independent Chartered Surveyor will inspect the property and <strong>arrange for the developer to correct any defects found<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>About our Chartered Surveyors<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guidance briefly explains the service offered by Property Surveying Independent Chartered Surveyors.
