Quaerens Complaint Pack
Free New Build Defects & Snagging Complaint Pack Builder
Organise the property, developer, handover, each relevant defect, inspections, repairs, warranty position, evidence, impact and requested action.
Do not enter roofs, lofts, electrical systems, unstable structures or dangerous areas to gather evidence. Obtain emergency or appropriately qualified professional help where necessary. This pack does not diagnose defects or determine liability.
This pack does not diagnose defects or determine liability
Record observations safely and preserve professional findings as attributed evidence. Seek qualified or emergency help where structural, electrical, gas, water or other safety concerns require it.
Organise each defect clearly
Observation versus finding
Keep homeowner observations, developer explanations, warranty positions and professional findings distinct.
Before and after repairs
Record what was done, when, the condition afterwards and whether the defect returned. Keep original photographs where possible.
Customer care versus complaint
Repeated tickets and appointments are not necessarily a formal complaint. Record the actual stage accurately.
Multiple snagging items
Use a separate record for each defect so cosmetic, functional and potentially technical concerns are not merged.
Warranty decisions
Record the wording, reason, inspection, developer position and available appeal or complaint route without assuming the decision is wrong.
Costs and value
Direct costs, purchase price and reported property-value concerns remain separate. The builder does not calculate claim value or compensation.
Official guidance
The route depends on the purchase, developer, warranty, dates, scheme, jurisdiction, evidence and response. No defect severity, breach, liability, property-value loss or compensation conclusion is made.
Common questions
What if the developer says the defect is fixed?
Record the repair, after-repair condition, recurrence and subsequent reports without simply rejecting the developer's position.
What if the developer blames another company?
Record the contract, each organisation asked to act, each response and the warranty position.
Do I need a professional report?
Not for every snag. A qualified professional may be particularly important for structural, drainage, roof, electrical, significant water-ingress or disputed technical concerns.
