What a Snag Inspection Includes
A snag inspection identifies defects, unfinished works and quality issues before they become your responsibility. Each inspection is carried out systematically and typically includes:
- Internal finishes including walls, ceilings and floors
- Windows, doors, seals and ventilation
- Kitchens, wardrobes and fitted units
- Bathrooms, tiling, sanitary ware and silicone finishes
- Electrical fittings, sockets and switches
- Heating controls and visible plumbing items
- External finishes where access is available
Following the inspection, you receive a clear, structured snag report with photographs, suitable for sharing directly with the builder or site manager.
When to Book Your Snag Inspection
A snag inspection is best carried out before final completion or handover, when issues can be addressed quickly by the developer. We also provide post-handover inspections where early access was not available, particularly in phased or apartment developments.

A Home Snag List inspection covers over 50 individual checks across 14 key areas of your new home, inside and out.
