Yes, a snagging survey is absolutely worth the price you pay. You might see it as extra money being spent that you could throw at the house itself. That is fair enough. Trust me, though; the cost of a snagging survey can save you thousands – maybe even tens of thousands – down the line. What a snagging report will do is find the problems that exist in the home as it is constructed.
This means that issues with the property can be found and resolved before you move in. This reduces the risk of signing off and taking the keys to a home that has been hastily built. The minute you sign off on your home, you risk solving these issues yourself. I used a snagging survey Birmingham and some of the problems that were hidden were an absolute joke. Thankfully, their expertise ensured the problems were resolved eventually.
