The snagging survey, snagging list or snagging inspection is a common expression used in recent years in the UK construction industry. It is used to detect or identify construction defects and describe their resolution process.
This is due to the fact that most new-build properties are now being purchased in blue print (planned), exposing buyers to an unknown quality of construction finishes. Snagging inspection is often a source of conflict between buyers and builders, which has led to an increase in demand for this service to cover the buyer’s legal rights.
