CAN I SNAG MY OWN PROPERTY? WHY SHOULD I GET A RICS PROFESSIONAL
When purchasing a new-build property, snagging—the process of identifying defects and unfinished work—ensures your home meets the standards you expect. While it might be tempting to carry out your own snagging, a qualified RICS surveyor brings expert knowledge and thoroughness that’s essential for a comprehensive assessment.
Why choose a rics surveyor
Consultation
RICS surveyors have extensive training and experience in identifying issues that untrained eyes might miss. This includes minor cosmetic defects and more serious structural concerns.
COMPREHENSIVE REPORT
A professional snagging report will be detailed, covering all aspects of the property, from the roof to the foundations. This thoroughness ensures that all defects are documented, giving you a solid basis for requesting repairs.
UNBIASED ASSESSMENT
An independent RICS surveyor provides an impartial report, free from the influence of developers or builders. This objectivity is crucial for ensuring all issues are identified and addressed.
UNBIASED ASSESSMENT
RICS surveyors are trained to understand building regulations and standards, ensuring that your property complies with legal requirements. They can also provide guidance on how to address the identified issues effectively.
