Why Snag?

Your trusted partner in professional property snagging services.

Drag to compare. Illustrative tags, not a real inspection.

A property can look perfect, and still hide defects.

Fresh paint, polished floors and new fittings make it easy to assume everything behind them is just as finished. A careful, independent inspection is how you find out before the keys are yours.

  • Uneven flooring

    Tile lippage and level variations that only show once furniture is placed or daylight falls across the floor.

  • Poor finishing

    Paint runs, patch marks, mismatched shades and rough or unfinished edges.

  • Cracks

    Cracks in plaster, render or tiles that need to be recorded and assessed.

  • Plumbing issues

    Leaking traps, low water pressure, slow drainage and water pooling near drains.

  • Electrical defects

    Loose or non-working sockets, switches and light fittings.

  • Faulty fixtures

    Doors, handles, hinges and fittings that don't align, close or lock properly.

  • Poor sealant

    Missing or poorly applied silicone around wet areas, worktops and window frames.

  • AC issues

    Weak airflow, zones that don't respond to their controls, and signs of condensation.

  • Incomplete installations

    Missing access panels, trims and covers, and details left unfinished at handover.

What We Inspect

We don't just look around the property. We systematically inspect it.

Every inspection moves room by room through the same categories, so nothing is checked by eye alone and nothing is left to chance.

Category A

Architectural & Finishing

  • Walls & ceilings
  • Paintwork
  • Flooring & tiles
  • Grouting
  • Doors & windows
  • Cabinets & countertops
  • Fixtures & general workmanship
Category B

Mechanical & MEP

  • Mechanical systems
  • Electrical installations
  • Plumbing installations
  • HVAC-related elements
  • Fixtures & fittings
Category C

Functional & Performance

Where appropriate, we examine whether components are functioning correctly, not just whether they look right, so issues that only show up in use are not missed.

An Objective Second Opinion

Developer walkthrough vs. independent inspection.

A developer walkthrough is a useful first step. An independent inspection gives you an additional, objective assessment carried out solely for you.

Developer Walkthrough

Guided by the party that built the property.

  • Conducted by the developer's own team
  • General overview of the unit
  • Limited time per visit

Independent Property Inspection

Conducted solely for the client.

  • ✓Room-by-room inspection
  • ✓Detailed documentation
  • ✓Photo evidence
  • ✓Location tagging
  • ✓Severity assessment
  • ✓Independent, client-focused reporting

This isn't about mistrust of the developer — it's about having your own record, built solely around your interests. Read more on this comparison.
