Property snagging is a meticulous inspection process carried out before the final handover of a property. This essential step involves identifying any defects, imperfections, or unfinished elements within the property. These issues, known as "snags," can range from minor cosmetic flaws to significant structural concerns.
Why Snagging is Crucial Before Taking Possession
When receiving handover of a brand-new property, it's vital to check for any defects or maintenance issues. Identifying these problems early and having them addressed before you take possession can save you a substantial amount of money and hassle in the future. Ensuring your new property is free from issues means you can move in or rent it out with peace of mind, knowing everything is in perfect condition.
