New Homes Snagging Inspections:
• For peace of mind, we recommend ordering a snagging survey for your
newly built property - it identifies any ‘snag’ (i.e. fault, defect) in your
property will be identified
• Snagging are carried out by a choice of RICS chartered surveyors or
experienced on site managers / contractor
❏ a professional RICS chartered surveyor has specific expertise in new
builds to complete the report - they ensure that the home you are
buying or have brought has been constructed to a decent standard,
as well as offer advice on the necessary repairs to be made
• As a dedicated property letting agency, the BURKHART CARE TEAM will be
able to follow up on resolving any ‘snag’ on your behalf!
