The ideal time to get a professional snagging survey done is before you move into your new home however many developers will not allow snagging inspections to be done prior to handover. If this is the case with your developer, you should book your snagging survey as soon as possible after you have moved in. Make sure you get one done early and well before the end of your first two years in the property so that any defects identified are reported to your house builder before your 2 year warranty expires – any repairs required after this date are the responsibility of the homeowner.
