A Snag List is the inspection and investigation of the construction and services of a newly built property in sufficient detail to allow the building surveyor to compile a list of shortcomings, defects and irregularities with the built property. This gives the client an opportunity to furnish the developer with a detailed list of snagging items, which should be attended to before the finalisation of Contracts.
The purpose of a Snag List is to ensure that the newly built property is in compliance with all current Building Regulations and Codes of Practice and meets all Health & Safety issues. It provides the client with peace of mind in the knowledge that their new home has been finished to the highest possible standards.
