Moving home is one of the busiest occasions we experience in life. Between completing the paperwork and moving possessions, small details are often missed.

If you notice any damage or defects in your property, no matter how small, it is up to you to report them to your property developer/builder. For this reason, it is advantageous to get a professional to carry out a snagging inspection on your property in Qatar.

This service is becoming more popular locally. Why? Because property snagging and handover services offer financial security and peace of mind before selling, leasing out or moving into a newly-built home.

In our recent YouTube video, Helen Moulder, our experienced Leasing Team Leader, explains all about professional property snagging services and what benefits they offer. Take a watch or read on for further information.

What is property snagging?

Property snagging begins by curating a list as part of the snagging inspection on a newly-built home. It identifies damages and defects of the property - both structural and cosmetic - that fall short of industry and contractual standards, and must be corrected before moving in or out.

A multitude of small to large issues could be found inside a property and also outside in the garden and driveway. However, many are unobvious to someone unfamiliar with the construction of a property, such as sealant inconsistencies or electrical faults.

Albeit, our local agents who bring expertise from both the real estate and construction industries can help prevent any detrimental effects of property issues by working in your best interests.

We can advise on the condition of your property and liaise between yourself and your property developer to remedy any issues mentioned in the report.

Who can benefit most from property snagging and handover services?

Property sellers

Sellers often go to their property developer to carry out the report, which can sometimes lead to a biased opinion. Instead, we at The Pearl Gates provide an independent and impartial report packed with the evidence you may need to prove repairs are your property builders responsibility.

Landlords

We visit your newly-built buy-to-let property to conduct a snagging inspection to identify any problems before the handover of your rental property.

This will inevitably help you save time and money. Because, for example, if a new tenant finds problems, they may have to move temporarily while repairs take place. Thus creating a void period. A pre-lease snagging inspection will help you prepare for such events.

Tenants

The best time to arrange a snagging inspection to identify any problems missed when you first viewed your new rental home is after you have signed your lease and before you move in.

Towards the end of your lease, a snagging inspection will give a precise view of the property condition to prevent any security deposit deductions.
