So what is Snagging really all about?

So Snagging is just like, looking for defects right?

Yes and no. At Snagging Overseas we believe that snagging is not just wandering through a new apartment and noting down the slight defects in the workmanship. Snagging is the final step in the buying process that you began when you paid the reservation fee. Snagging is the introduction of your new investment to the critical eye of professionals who will inform you objectively if you should go ahead and sign the title deeds.

Well, alright, it does also involve wandering through the property and jotting down some notes. However, we like to think that our experience and candidness means that we really appraise the property and it’s surroundings where relevant. We apply our Five Point Snagging Process and systematically vet your property. Many times we have snagged with the owner present and they marvel at the details we pick up on. Many clients comment on the fact that they would not have thought of looking there, or under that. Old tricks, like filling the bath to see if the grouting holds, is just an example of tried and tested methods that we apply. Do the loos flush? Do the lights work?

Owners get self conscious when viewing their own property. They sometimes don’t want to find any problems because it will be upsetting to them. Perhaps make them think they made a poor investment choice. Some clients ask us NOT to send the snagging inspection report to them. Just to guarantee that we will liaise with their legal representatives and the builder to ensure that the defects (snags) are sorted and in this way they move into their dream property without ever knowing it might not have been at its best at some stage.

So whether the property is for you or for rental and long term investment, it is always worth it to get the professionals in. We will snag for you so that you don’t have to.
