Snagging is the defect inspection before you accept the unit. You go through everything, room by room, and note what is not right.
What to check
- Walls, ceilings and floors: cracks, stains, joints, uneven areas.
- Doors, windows and locks: that they open, close and seal properly.
- Bathrooms and kitchen: taps, drains, water pressure, damp.
- Air conditioning, lights and sockets.
Take photos, write everything down and ask the developer to sign it with a repair deadline. For a large or high-value unit, consider hiring a professional inspector.
