What is Snagging?
Identifying Cosmetic Defects: This includes surface-level issues such as scratched window panes, uneven paintwork, chipped tiles, or poorly fitted skirting boards. It is also worth checking for any scuffs on woodwork or snagging issues with the sealant around kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
Spotting Functional Failures: Checking that all aspects of the home work as intended -ensuring doors latch correctly, taps don't leak, sockets are live, and radiators heat up evenly. It is also essential to verify that all window openers operate smoothly without sticking.
The Snagging List: All identified issues are compiled into a formal document (the "Snagging Report"). This is handed to the site manager or developer to be addressed, usually under your building warranty.
