Why a New Build Snagging Survey in East Lothian Is Essential for Homebuyers

Why You Need a New Build Snagging Survey in East Lothian

Buying a new build home in East Lothian is exciting — but even newly constructed properties can come with hidden defects. A new build snagging survey in East Lothian is the best way to identify issues early and ensure your builder puts them right under your warranty.

What is a Snagging Survey?

A snagging survey is a detailed inspection of your home that highlights problems like poorly fitted doors, faulty plasterwork, insulation issues, and unfinished fixtures. It ensures you can raise these issues with your builder before your warranty window closes. These minor defects, if left unresolved, can turn into costly repairs later.
