  • The ideal time to have your snagging survey completed is once the builder/developer has notified you that all work has been completed, but before the legal exchange of contracts and you move into your new home. Builders/developers will not always allow this, therefore it is advisable to have your snagging survey completed as soon as possible once you have exchanged, ideally before you move in to allow us to fully inspect your property. Snagging surveys can still be completed once you have moved in if required.
