Why is snagging important?

Modern buildings are complicated with huge numbers of varied jobs needing to be completed by a number of different trades. This means that there are a lot of things that could go wrong with your property. Getting a snagging report from STAR Property Group ensures that these snags can be identified and an independent itemised report provided to the building company to rectify every issue found. A STAR Property Inspection will provide you with the peace of mind that your home is safe and correctly built.
