Common Snagging Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Snagging is defined as the final inspection taken just before handing a property over to someone else or to a new owner. Here are some of the common mistakes made by home buyers while snagging a property:

Damaged stone work

A common snag in newly built houses is damaged stone work. While moving into a new home, you might notice that the decorative stone work is damaged. It can be that the stone work may have been damaged a few months in advance and fixed by the previous owner but ended up growing worse due to the condition of the weather. Make sure that you check the windows cell and header for any imperfection before moving into a new home. Some of the most usual imperfections in newly built homes are the damages to the decorative stone work which can make your new home less aesthetical.

Chipped external doors and frames

Finding scratches on the external doors of your newly built home is another common mistake. The most common place of finding the scratches or chips are the edges and corners of your external doors or frames. Looking out for them before it’s too late or before buying the property is very crucial. Whenever snagging for a new home, always make sure that you check all the corners and edges of all frames and doors so that the aesthetics of your home would not deplete overtime.

Poorly fitted internal door

A huge problem that comes with newly built homes is the poor fitting of its internal doors. Spotting poorly fitted internal doors isn’t as much of a challenge as it might seem, it can simply be supported when the internal doors of your soon to be home are not closing properly. But when the doors are suffering minor faults such as a slightly loose hinge which you might not notice during the inspection but over time if your doors stop shutting properly or start sagging then it is a sign of a poorly fitted internal door. The hinges start getting weaker and weaker overtime and begin not shutting properly which many people assume is because the door is beginning to sag.

Inspecting your home for every detail minor or major is also crucial as, newly built homes nowadays mostly have less aesthetics because the builder hasn’t paid attention to minor details such as faulty pipework, cracked tilling or maybe a fault in the paint work which can be a reason for a Leak in your new home. Make sure to keep an eye out for these small details, check if everything in your new home is working properly and is up to date, check if the tap is working properly by turning it on and make sure that you can get both hot and cold water in every tap of your home and that there is no leakage in any of them.
