How to Safeguard Your New-Build Investment

Snagging is an essential part of the post-completion process for new-build properties. It ensures your property meets expected standards before tenants move in or you take ownership, giving you confidence in the quality of your investment.

Turnkey Snagging Solution

Once construction is complete, minor issues may appear as the building settles and materials dry out. Common snags include cosmetic imperfections, minor fittings concerns, or finishing touches that were missed during the final construction phase.

Our team monitors the snagging process, typically handled by the developer, to ensure most issues are addressed before handover or logged for resolution. By the time you receive the keys, your property is ready for occupancy, letting you focus on maximising rental income or personal use.

Developer Warranty: Long-Term Protection

All UK new-build properties come with a developer warranty, usually covering up to 10 years. These warranties protect against significant structural defects and latent issues that may not be immediately visible. In the initial years, the developer is responsible for rectifying faults related to workmanship or materials, giving investors peace of mind.
