For a more comprehensive evaluation, we offer a post-completion inspection that involves a detailed examination, utilising advanced equipment when necessary.
Having our team of Baillieston experts go through the new build to make sure everything is installed correctly, and functioning correctly and also testing everything to make sure things work correctly is a very important step that we would suggest for any property.

Our experienced team of professionals in Baillieston understands the intricacies of identifying defects, issues, and unfinished tasks in both residential and commercial properties.
A home snagging list, sometimes referred to as a snagging checklist, is a list of items identified by an architect or contract administrator at the inspection stage of a building project.
These are typically items which need attention, but not significant enough to delay the completion of the project.
The main purpose of a snagging list is to find minor or cosmetic issues that need fixing prior to you moving in.
Will also help a property developer complete further work to fix things that may have been missed or damaged in the building process.
If there is a breakdown in communication between both you and your house builder in Baillieston, your warranty provider can offer a resolution free of charge.
However the developer will expect the building contractor to fix the items on the snagging list promptly.
The Snagging List will be created following a thorough Snagging Inspection ideally as soon as the completion certificate has been issued.
A Snagging Survey is a worthwhile investment for anyone moving into a property or buying a new property.
Listed below are some of the biggest benefits of having a Snagging List:
Listed below are some of the Snagging Lists we offer here at Snagging Lists:
A pre-completion snagging list is a document prepared before the final completion of a construction project, typically for a new build property.
It is compiled by the architect, contract administrator, or the buyer of the property during a thorough inspection before the handover from previous owners of the property.
You should have been given a guide completion date by your contractor, which is ideally written into your building contract.
A post-completion snagging list is a document created after the completion of a construction project, typically for a new build property.
It serves as a detailed record of any defects, issues, or unfinished tasks that need to be addressed by the developer or contractor.
The aim of a commercial snagging list is to get the housing developers to complete further work to fix things that may have been missed or damaged in the building process.
It is important to have your new house fully checked out as you don’t want to experience any blockages or smells ruining your experience in your brand new home.
During the inspection for practical completion of a new build property, a list is compiled by the architect or contract administrator.
This list includes items that require attention but do not pose significant obstacles to the completion of the project. These identified items are then added to a new home snagging list.
A common question we get asked is will a new build snagging survey be worth it and we would argue that getting a snagging survey done on a new build is much more important than an older property as defects are much more common.
A snagging list is created during the inspection for practical completion of a commercial property project, typically prepared by the architect or contract administrator.
This list comprises items that require attention, albeit not significant enough to cause a delay in practical completion.
A snagging list typically includes a detailed inventory of defects, issues, or unfinished tasks that need attention or rectification in a property.
Here are some common items that can be included in a snagging list:
The snagging list serves as a comprehensive document that outlines all the areas that require attention, allowing the developer or contractor to address and rectify these issues before the property is handed over to the buyer or occupant.
Snagging surveys typically have a price range of £300 to £900. As the homebuyer, it is generally expected that you will be responsible for covering the cost of the survey.
While you can try to negotiate including the cost in the contract with the builder, it is customary for the purchaser to bear the expense.
We would always suggest that after spending so much money on a property it is better to be safe than sorry, and paying that extra bit for a snagging report to give you and your family peace of mind in your new home.
