Pre-completion Property Inspections (Snagging)
What is Snagging?
The Pre Completion Inspection or Snagging of a property is an essential part of the final stages of your property purchase in Spain. Builders and Developers allow purchasers between 15 – 28 days for new owners to notify them of any defects which then by law they must correct. After that time the door closes on the repair of snagging defects by the developer.
When Do I Have to Snag My Property?
The best time to snag a property is prior to completion, and most developers or builders will write to the new owner with an appointment for them to visit the property to check any faults.
Some developers give a very short time frame in which to snag the property and very short notice before completion of an appointment which may not be convenient for you to be away from family or work commitments. There will also be a second appointment to check that the remedial works have been carried out satisfactorily. The costs of hotels, flights and time off work can soon add up and it is a wise idea to employ a professional company with plenty of experience of property inspections to carry out your Initial Snagging Report and Follow Up visit to check that the works have been completed.
The Process is Simple
- The developer contacts you with a date for snagging, you ask to sign over a Power of Attorney to Europats Properties.
- Europats arrange the Initial appointment directly with the developer and email you the details of the appointment
- Europats attend the snagging and compile a report which is sent to you with digital photos of any major remedial works that need to be carried out
- This report is emailed to you within 2 working days of the initial appointment
- Europats will chase up the developer within 14 days and make an appointment for a Follow Up Visit
- If the work has been completed to a satisfactory standard we will be able to sign the Completion report and email you a closing statement
- If the work has not been completed we will continue with a Third Follow Up visit
If you have any further queries of would like to talk to us regarding the snagging of your property please contact us.
Preparing Your Holiday Home
Europats takes pride in the standard and presentation of the accommodation. Holiday makers and long term tenants alike need to feel at home in your property, therefore a “home from home” is the result required.
First impressions are very important and it is imperative that the property is clean and tidy, clutter free and easy on the eye.
Matching bed linen along with co-ordinated fabrics in the lounge all help to make this possible and it is easy and relatively inexpensive to achieve this image. You should also decorate and equip in a style that reflects the character of your property.
It is important that you put yourself in the place of the holidaymaker and equip your property with items you would like if you were paying to rent the property, for example air conditioning is normally a must for holiday rentals, and time saving luxury items such as dishwashers ensure that your property will be more attractive to rent than others in this competitive market place.
Furnishing Service
If this all sounds like hard work we are happy to help and to arrange a complete furniture package for your property. Why not let our team of experts equip the property to the required standard and take the strain off you? We can organise anything from air conditioning installation to gardening services using our extensive local knowledge.
