Before you commit

See the property clearly before you accept it.

Independent snagging inspections for new builds, pre-handover and resale homes, with a photographic report you can act on.

A contemporary white villa, the kind of property a snagging inspection protects

A new or newly purchased home is too large a decision to inspect casually. Snagging is an independent look at finishes, services and the defects that are easier to resolve before you take them on.

Every defect we record is photographed and described, so the report can be handed to a developer, a seller or an agent. The inspection covers more than 120 checks, from cooling and drainage to joinery and external areas.

Inspection types

  • New build snagging
  • Pre-handover inspections
  • Resale condition reports

  • Paint, tiling, doors and windows

  • External areas, balconies and waterproofing

Independent

The inspection is for you, not for the party handing the property over.

Actionable

Defects are photographed and described so someone else can be asked to fix them.

Timed properly

Pre-handover is when defects are still the developer's problem to resolve.

Same careful standard

You deal with Arcta directly, and the report is part of the service — not an extra you have to chase.

Questions

What is a snagging inspection?

An independent survey of a property — often a new build before handover — that records construction, finishing and system defects so they can be rectified.

When should I book?

Before you accept keys on a new home, and before you commit to a resale if you want an independent view of its condition.

What do I receive afterwards?

A photographic report describing the defects found, written so it can be passed to a developer, seller or agent.
