We reserved with Barratt Homes where the home is build complete, just needs flooring.
On viewing the property, we spotted a couple of minor defects (tiling/window) and mentioned this to the sales advisor and suggested I'd like to get a professional snagging survey done after exchange of contracts.
However, they said:
1) As policy, they don't allow snagging post-exchange, only post-completion.
2) They ranted about being a 5* builder. They suggested we save our money and do it ourselves as we have 2 years warranty on everything and they're happy to do extra things like painting over scuffs after moving in.
Actually, I trust they will do a decent job and will follow up on problems. But I just want someone else to de-snag while the home is still empty as we have a newborn and wanted to minimise disruption post-move.
Did anyone else come across this no-snagging before completion "policy" from Barratt Homes?
