Dockley Apartments, Bermondsey, SE16
The Instruction
Stokemont’s Snagging Survey team were instructed to assist a private client with their purchase of a two-bedroom purpose-built flat at Dockley Apartments, Bermondsey.
The inspection formed part of the client’s property due diligence, with the aim of identifying defects, incomplete works and areas requiring attention before or shortly after completion.
The Property
The property comprised a modern two-bedroom apartment within Dockley Apartments, a purpose-built residential development in Bermondsey.
As with any newly constructed property, a detailed inspection provides an opportunity to identify workmanship issues, finishing defects and items that may require the developer’s attention.
Key Survey Findings
Our inspection considered the condition and finish of the apartment, with particular attention given to areas commonly requiring review within new-build properties.
The survey identified items requiring attention and provided a clear photographic record of the defects and observations noted during the inspection.
The findings covered the quality of finishes, fixtures, fittings and general workmanship, helping to distinguish minor finishing items from matters requiring further attention.
Our Advice
We provided the client with a structured Snagging List identifying the items requiring attention, together with supporting photographic evidence.
The findings enabled the client to raise clear and specific points with the relevant parties and provided a useful record against which remedial works could be reviewed.
The Outcome
The Snagging Survey provided the client with an independent assessment of the apartment’s condition and finish as part of their property purchase.
The instruction demonstrated the value of undertaking a professional snagging inspection when purchasing a new-build property, helping to identify issues that may otherwise be overlooked during a standard viewing.
Stokemont provides professional Snagging Surveys for new-build houses and apartments, helping purchasers identify defects and outstanding works at an early stage.
