APARTMENT SNAGGING INSPECTION · LAHORE
Document the apartment before you accept it.
A room-by-room snagging and possession inspection that records accessible defects, incomplete finishes, service concerns and limitations before handover or rectification deadlines.
Apartment inspections across Lahore · Unit and common-area scope confirmed separatelyWHY INSPECTION MATTERS
Handover is the point to create a clear defect record—not rely on memory.
Newly completed apartments can contain incomplete finishes, misaligned openings, damaged fixtures, leakage indicators, unsafe electrical details or services that have not been demonstrated under normal operating conditions. A polished sales visit is not a snagging inspection.
Property Audit Pakistan records observations by room and system, links evidence to the relevant item and distinguishes the apartment unit from common building assets. The result gives the buyer a controlled basis for raising rectification questions before acceptance.
Inspection built around the decision you need to make.
Home and apartment inspection
Visible structural conditions, electrical systems, plumbing, drainage, waterproofing and finishes.
Snagging and possession audit

EVIDENCE BEFORE OPINION
A report should show what was examined—and what was not.
Material observations are attached to defined inspection areas and carried into the professional findings. The report records visible conditions, evidence, severity, limitations and the responsible professional.

Before you commission an inspection.
What is apartment snagging?＋
Apartment snagging is a systematic inspection that records visible incomplete work, defects and performance concerns before possession or handover. The agreed checks can cover rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, finishes, openings, accessible electrical and plumbing items, leakage indicators and safety concerns.
When should the snagging inspection take place?＋
It is normally most useful when the unit is substantially complete but before final acceptance, possession confirmation or expiry of the developer's rectification period. Building management and developer access requirements must be arranged in advance.
Are common areas and building systems included?＋
A standard apartment inspection focuses on the commissioned unit. Corridors, roofs, basements, lifts, fire systems, generators, water systems and other common assets require express inclusion, access and an appropriate broader scope.
Will every cosmetic mark be included?＋
The report records material observations found within the agreed inspection method and access. It is not a guarantee that every minor mark, concealed condition or future defect will be identified. Limitations and inaccessible items are stated.
Can the report be shared with the developer?＋
The commissioning client can use the findings to raise rectification questions with the developer, subject to the engagement terms. The report is a private advisory document and is not automatically a statutory completion certificate, forensic report or expert-witness report.
How is the apartment inspection fee calculated?＋
The published package rate is applied to the confirmed covered area. Basic, Premium and Elite packages are PKR 40, PKR 50 and PKR 60 per square foot respectively, with final scope and fee confirmed before inspection.
