Buying a new build? An independent snagging survey from JGL Associates identifies defects before you complete — so the developer fixes them at no cost to you.
A snagging survey — also known as a new build inspection — is an independent, detailed inspection of a newly built property that identifies defects, poor workmanship and items that fall below the standard expected.
Even reputable developers regularly hand over properties with dozens of snags. Without an independent inspection, you may not discover issues until after you have moved in, by which point the developer is far less responsive to warranty claims.
JGL Associates are a RICS regulated firm. Our snagging surveys are carried out by a qualified, experienced surveyor and delivered as a clear, professionally produced report you can present directly to your developer.
Our survey covers a thorough inspection of all accessible areas, internally and externally. Common issues found include poor paintwork, defective windows and doors, plumbing faults and drainage problems.
Maximum leverage — require all defects to be remedied before you move in.
If pre-completion access is refused, we survey immediately after you receive the keys.
Developer's full warranty covers all defects for two years. Act within this window for the strongest rights.
