Snagging
I’ve been on the phone to the nice people at New Build Inspections, and have got my snagging survey booked. I’d like to think this is overkill — the house looks OK, and Crest Nicholson don’t appear to have a nasty reputation vis a vis typing their name in to Google and seeing what horror stories turn up. But it does seem to be a sensible move; there are aspects to the house’s construction where I’ll have no hope of determining whether or not they’ve done a good job, so getting in outside expertise seems to be a great idea.
Disclaimer: they sponsor the hosting of this blog, and the inspection’s going to be free. But I was planning on getting a professional snagging inspection (and using them) back before they made that offer.
I’ll be going along with my trusty digital camera when they carry out the inspection, and I’ll post up photos of anything they find. And if you want to see some photos of snagging horror stories, checking out the snagging.org gallery.
