New Home Snagging

Buying a new home should feel exciting, not stressful. LateShield helps homeowners identify snagging items, poor finishes, incomplete work and defects that may need raising with the developer.

How we help

What LateShield does

New build homes can contain defects that are easy to miss during a quick viewing or handover. LateShield helps review the property, record issues clearly and prepare a practical snagging summary. We help homeowners create a structured list of issues, supported by photographs and clear notes, so the defects can be raised properly with the developer.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Ideally before you legally complete on the property, so defects can be identified and raised with the developer before you take ownership. However, snagging support is also useful after you have moved in.

We help you identify and record visible defects, poor finishes, incomplete work and other issues that should be raised with the developer. We prepare a clear summary to support your communication.

Developers have obligations to deliver homes to the agreed standard. A clear, well-documented snagging list helps you raise issues formally and professionally.

LateShield is based in Worcester and provides support UK-wide.
