Added to your report
This is SnagPad's real write-up of that note. It happens on SnagPad.co.uk, not in the app, and you check it before it goes in your report. Guidance is quoted word for word from the NHBC Standards. The screens are illustrations: the app is coming soon.
More than somewhere to store photos
SnagPad doesn't just organise your defects. It helps you describe what you've found clearly, understand the relevant guidance and state what needs putting right.
Walk round your home room by room, with SnagPad guiding you on what to look at.
Take one or two photos, say where it is and describe what you can see in your own words.
Each snag is written up with an observation, relevant guidance and recommended action, then put into your PDF report and snag tracker.
Guided inspection
SnagPad guides you around your new home so you're not starting with a blank page.
In your own words
Just tell SnagPad what you can see.
“Water is sitting outside after it rains.”
In your report
NHBC Standards, Clause 10.2.6.2 Drainage: paved areas should “have surfaces with adequate falls, cross-falls and drainage to ensure that surface water is suitably drained”.
“Holes in the cement between the bricks next to the window sill.”
In your report
NHBC Standards, Clause 6.1.11.3 Construction: bricks and blocks should have “solid mortar bedding and perpends full of mortar”.
“The floor creaks here.”
In your report
Investigate the cause of the noise and secure the floor to stop the creaking.
“There's a big gap around the window.”
SnagPad asks
When a note doesn't say enough, SnagPad asks for the detail it needs, such as whether the gap is between the frame and the wall, rather than guessing.
Words you don't need to know:
Real SnagPad wording for these notes. Guidance appears only where an NHBC clause covers the snag.
Professional output
No copying photos into Word. No spreadsheet building. No trying to match pictures to notes. SnagPad automatically organises everything into a clear report ready to send to your developer.
From a phone full of photos to one organised report.

Built from real snagging experience
SnagPad was created by a professional snagging inspector who has inspected new-build homes for years and produces hundreds of snagging reports. The app is built around the same practical process used on professional inspections, adapted to help homebuyers record their own findings clearly.
Price
One payment for your property. No subscription. Your first 3 snags are free, written up in full, so you can see what you get before you pay.
For one new-build home.

SnagPad helps you carry out and document your own inspection. It doesn't inspect the property for you and can't guarantee that every defect will be identified. Professional inspectors have experience, specialist knowledge and equipment that may identify issues a homeowner could miss.
If you've decided to snag your home yourself, SnagPad gives you better tools to do it.
Would you rather a professional did it? Your SnagPad Home report ends with an offer from

You find the snags. SnagPad helps you turn them into a clear, professionally written report ready to send to your developer.
