So, your developer has invited you for a home preview day — an exciting moment where you see your property for the first time. But what should you expect during the snag inspection?
🏡 Step 1: The Walkthrough
You’ll tour your new home, usually with the developer’s representative. This is your chance to see the property as delivered.
👉 Bring a professional snagging inspector with you.
🛠️ Step 2: The Inspection Process
Your inspector will:
- Check every room systematically
- Test plumbing, electricity, and AC
- Look for cosmetic flaws
- Use tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters
📋 Step 3: Documentation
The snagging company will prepare a detailed photographic report. Each defect is listed with:
- Room location
- Description
- Severity level
- Recommended fix
📤 Step 4: Submission to Developer
The report is handed to the developer, who must acknowledge and fix the listed defects before final handover.
🎉 Step 5: Peace of Mind
Once all issues are resolved, you can confidently accept your keys.
🎯 Final Thoughts
Home preview day isn’t just about admiration — it’s about inspection. By bringing a professional snagging expert, you ensure that your dream home is delivered in perfect condition.
👉 Don’t just preview. Inspect, document, and demand fixes.
