New Build Snagging Inspections
Before or shortly after handover, an independent snagging inspection can help you identify defects, incomplete works, poor finishes and workmanship issues so they can be raised clearly with your developer.

What is a Snagging Inspection?
Mackay Property Surveying & Consultancy provides detailed new-build snagging inspections for buyers who want a clear photographic record of defects and a developer-ready report.
Each inspection is visual and non-intrusive, covering readily accessible areas only. The report includes photographs, a room-by-room defect schedule and practical notes to help you raise matters with your developer.
All inspections are visual and non-intrusive. We do not carry out structural surveys, specialist damp investigations, electrical or gas safety inspections, EPCs or fire risk assessments.

Defect inspections are suitable for homeowners, landlords and property buyers who are concerned about visible issues such as dampness, water ingress, cracking, poor workmanship, ventilation problems, deterioration or general property condition.

Where specialist investigation is required, this will be clearly identified within the report.
