New build flats often look polished during a first viewing, but compact layouts place a large number of finishes and fittings close together. Kitchens, bathrooms, wardrobes, doors, windows and decorative junctions can all contain smaller defects that are difficult to notice during a short handover.
Our new build flat snagging service is designed for London apartments of different sizes, from compact one-bedroom homes to larger multi-bedroom flats. We inspect the accessible interior methodically and produce a clear record of the defects identified, helping you approach the developer with an organised snagging list.
Flat snagging places particular emphasis on high-use internal areas and the standard of visible finishing. In modern London developments, a relatively small floor area can include a surprising number of fitted components.
Cabinet doors, drawers, visible panels, worktops and accessible finishing are reviewed for obvious damage, misalignment and incomplete details.
We examine visible tiles, grout, sealant, sanitary fittings and decorative finishes for defects that should be recorded.
Doors are considered for visible condition, alignment and normal operation where practical. Problems can include rubbing, poor closing or damaged finishes.
Accessible windows and surrounding visible finishes are checked for obvious damage, operation issues and untidy finishing.
We look for visible damage, decorative defects and areas that appear unfinished or inconsistent with the surrounding finish.
Wardrobes, cupboards, trims and other accessible fitted elements are checked because smaller alignment and finishing defects frequently appear in these areas.
| Service | Estimated Cost | Average |
