What a new build snagging inspection is
A new build snagging inspection in Scotland is an independent assessment of your home following handover. Both the internal and external areas are inspected for defects in workmanship, finishes, fixtures and fittings, and checked against relevant standards and recognised tolerances where applicable.
Our findings are documented in a detailed photographic report, giving you a clear record of defects to discuss with your developer during the applicable defects period.
Internal and external, checked and recorded
Post-handover inspections cover both the internal and external areas of your new build home — workmanship, finishes, fixtures, fittings and key building elements.
