Why Snagging Inspections Matter in Oldham
Oldham has seen major housing developments in areas like Lees, Saddleworth, and Hollinwood. While new builds offer modern living, they’re not always perfect. It’s common to find:
- Poor plastering or paintwork
- Misaligned doors and windows
- Cracked tiles or flooring
- Missing insulation or poor ventilation
- Snagging issues developers may deny without evidence
A professional snagging report ensures your developer puts things right—before your warranty runs out or issues escalate.
