What is Snagging? Why Every New Flat Buyer in Vizag Needs It

Back to all articles

Builders are always in a rush. Snagging is the process of finding defects in your new flat before you take the handover.

Buying a new flat is a dream come true, but taking the handover without checking it properly can turn into a nightmare.

Snagging is a professional inspection of your new apartment to find minor and major defects (snags) before you sign the final documents and take the keys.

Common snags in Vizag include hollow floor tiles, poor wall putty finishing, missing electrical earthing, and bathroom slope issues where water doesn't drain properly.

If you find these issues after moving in, builders will often ignore your calls. But if you give them a snagging report before handover, they are forced to fix it.

Don't risk your life savings. Always get a snagging inspection done.
