We provide snagging lists on new and refurbished properties, and have found as many as 60 problems in brand new houses. These problems include poor paintwork and missing screws in windows and doors, which will be a nuisance if not noticed until after completion. More serious problems are where developers finish external ground levels above finished floor levels thereby causing damp problems, or where extractor fans in bathrooms are not connected to discharge pipes. This means that wet air is constantly discharged into the loft space where it will cause serious problems.
