Why Homeowners Choose SnagClear
Built by Construction Professionals. Designed for Homeowners.
Most homeowners know something doesn't look right, but struggle to keep track of dozens of defects, photos and conversations with their developer.
SnagClear helps you record issues clearly, organise evidence and create professional-style reports that are easy for developers to understand and act upon.
SnagClear helps you:
📸 Record defects room by room
Keep photos, descriptions and locations organised in one place.
📄 Generate professional-style reports
Create clear reports that help developers understand what needs attention.
🔄 Track repairs over time
Monitor progress, add updates and maintain a complete defect history.
🏠 Stay organised throughout your warranty period
Use SnagClear before completion, after moving in and before your 2-year defects deadline.
Important
SnagClear is not a replacement for a professional snagging inspection. It is designed to help homeowners stay organised, document issues effectively and manage repairs throughout the defects period.
Available on iPhone and iPad.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is snagging?
Snagging is the process of checking your new-build home for defects or issues and recording them so your developer can put them right. It can include cosmetic issues, functional problems and anything that is not finished to a reasonable standard.
What is included in the homeowner pack?
The pack includes internal and external snagging guides, a printable checklist, a guide to common new-build snags, a maintenance planner and a timeline calendar to help you stay on top of key dates.
Do I need to use the SnagClear app?
No. The Homeowner Pack is designed to provide practical guidance whether you use the app or not. However, many homeowners use SnagClear to organise photos, record defects and generate professional-style reports that are easier to share with developers.
Is this a replacement for a professional snagging inspection?
No. The Homeowner Pack and SnagClear app are not replacements for a professional snagging inspection. They are designed to help homeowners identify visible defects, stay organised and maintain clear records throughout the defects period. Many homeowners use SnagClear alongside professional inspections, particularly before completion and before their 2-year deadline.
How will my email address be used?
We will use your email address to send you the homeowner pack and occasional helpful updates for new-build homeowners. We will not sell your data. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails.
When should I carry out a snagging inspection?
Ideally at three key stages:
-
Before completion or during your demo day inspection
-
After moving in, when defects become apparent through everyday use
-
Before your 2-year developer defects period expires
The Homeowner Pack and SnagClear app are designed to help at each stage.
How much does SnagClear cost?
The app is free to download and use. You can add unlimited snags, upload photos and preview your report before deciding whether to unlock the final professional-style report.
