Q: What is a snagging report?

The report identifies any defects, damages, or incomplete work that needs to be rectified by the developer or builder before the property is considered fully finished.

Q: Why is a snagging report critical? 
A: A snagging report is essential because it ensures that the new property is delivered to the owner or tenant in a finished and satisfactory condition. The information can help identify defects or incomplete work that may have been overlooked during construction and rectify these issues before the property is occupied. It can also help protect the owner or tenant from any unexpected costs or problems arising after moving in.

Q: Who conducts a snagging report? 
A: A snagging report is typically conducted by a professional snagging inspector or surveyor trained and experienced in identifying defects and issues in newly built properties. Some developers or builders may also conduct snagging inspections before handing the property to the owner or tenant.

A: A snagging report typically includes a detailed list of defects or issues that need rectification, photographs, and descriptions of each case. The information may also include a summary of the overall condition of the property and any recommendations or advice for the owner or tenant.

Q: When should a snagging report be conducted? 
A: A snagging report should be conducted as soon as possible after the completion of a new property and before it is handed over to the owner or tenant. This ensures that defects or issues are identified and rectified before the property is occupied.

Q: Who is responsible for rectifying defects identified in a snagging report? 
A: The responsibility for rectifying any defects identified in a snagging report typically lies with the developer or builder of the property. The owner or tenant should report any issues identified in the information to the developer or builder responsible for the necessary repairs or rectifications.
