What is snagging and de-snagging in apartments?

You must be familiar with the word ‘snag’ meaning a ‘hidden obstacle or drawback’. You also must have come across a situation at some point in your life when you’ve faced any kind of snag or difficulty, probably in your work or travel schedule. It must have been sorted out sooner or later. However, most snags are avoidable; such as the ones in your new home.

What does snagging mean?

When you buy your dream home with your hard-earned money, the last thing you want is to find any defect in it. Everyone aspires for that perfect apartment or villa with all the tiny details taken care of by the trusted developer. Your developer too ensures you have the best in terms of construction quality, international standard amenities, lots of open space, a host of special schemes, etc. So, why would you even consider something called ‘snagging’ and what role does it play in your new apartment?

In construction language, snagging means inspection of your new build house or flat to identify defects that the builder needs to rectify.

Why do you need to do snagging of your new apartment?

Before handing over your precious apartment to you, your trusted developer would have inspected it minutely to check for any defects such as leakage or power problems along with other structural aspects.

Snagging of your apartment can be done as soon as the construction is completed. If snagging is done ideally well before you move in, your builder will have the time to execute any repairs or rectify any faults that you point out. As a responsible homebuyer, you should look for snags in everything that has gone into the construction of your home. These include cracks or chipping in the walls or windows, paint quality, flooring and tiling, plumbing, electricity lines, fixtures such as lighting, taps, sanitary ware, kitchen cabinetry, appropriate plug points, as well as wall and floor level linearity.

Setting it right

So, what happens if and when you do find any defects in your new home? You will need to make a list of the faults or errors in your apartment and ascertain if they are indeed worth the repairs.

As soon as you have verified the snagging details, approach your builder and take him on a tour of your apartment to point out the defects. The good builder will then complete the repairs well before you sign the agreement papers to move in comfortably. It is every builder’s responsibility to hand over the perfect home to their customers.

Now, what is de-snagging?

Your responsibility as a homeowner is not only to point out the defects in your home to the builder who will then set it all right. When your builder informs you that all the repairs have been taken care of, you will need to visit your new home to check if they have been completed as per the snagging list.
