Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

At Dr. Snag, we know that buying or moving into a property is a big decision – and you might have questions about snagging, inspections, and how we work.Here are some of the most commonly asked questions to help you better understand our process.

What is snagging?

Snagging is the process of inspecting a new or recently renovated property to identify any defects, unfinished work, or areas that don't meet the required quality standards. These can be cosmetic issues like poor paintwork, or serious problems like plumbing leaks and electrical faults.

Why is a snagging inspection important?

A professional snagging inspection ensures that your property is delivered in the condition you expect.
It helps you catch hidden defects early, avoid costly repairs later, and gives you leverage to get the issues fixed before final handover or move-in.

When should I book a snagging inspection?

The ideal time to book a snagging inspection is:

  • Before final handover from the developer
  • Before moving into a new home
  • After completing a renovation project

Before renting or leasing a property

What if the developer disagrees with your report?

Our inspection reports are detailed, professionally written, and backed by technical evidence, making them difficult to dispute. We are also happy to assist you with clarifications or technical support if needed during the rectification process.

Do you also offer re-inspection after repairs are done?

Yes!
After the initial snagging report, once the developer or contractor claims that the issues are fixed, we offer a De-Snag service -  a re-inspection to ensure all snags have been properly rectified.
