01PLANNING GUIDE
Snagging is the final inspection where you list everything that is unfinished, damaged or not as agreed. Done thoroughly and in writing, it is how a renovation ends well rather than trailing on.
Next step
Get matched with contractors who agree snagging and handover terms up front.
Talk to a renovation specialistOr message us on WhatsAppWalk each room in daylight and with the lights on, with the contract and drawings to hand. Note each issue with its location and a photo. Share one consolidated list rather than reporting items piecemeal, and agree a date for them to be fixed before the final payment.
Run every tap, shower and toilet and watch where water drains. Switch every light and test every socket. Open every door, drawer and window. Look along tiled and painted surfaces at a low angle to see unevenness, and check silicone, grout and edges.
Keep the snag list, photos and warranty documents together. Defects that appear later — a hairline crack, a dripping mixer — are reported during the defects period agreed in the contract.
