Contact Snagmaster SW today and ensure a smooth and stress-free handover for your new home.
Pre-Completion Snagging Inspection
The optimal choice for a smooth handover; schedule a thorough inspection before you legally complete the purchase.
Identifying and rectifying major and minor snags at this stage allows the builder time to address issues while the property is still under their full control, ensuring your home is as perfect as possible on the day you move in.
Post-Completion Snagging List
For issues that may only become apparent once you are living in the property, or if a pre-completion inspection was not possible, we can compile a comprehensive list of snags after you have moved in.
This allows for the prompt resolution of any hidden or developing defects within your warranty period.
