OK I'm trying to gauge peoples opinion.
We are between exhchage and completion. Due to complete very soon.
The vendor agreed and this is confirmed by their conveyancer in writing that they would undertake snagging works before completion date.
We saw the house at the weekend and it has been partially redecorated (very well) but there are still shrinkage cracks around the window sills and on some walls etc as you would expect on a newish build.
We have gone back via his estate agent to query this and he is claiming that such cracks are not snagging, hence the reason why they were not done. Clearly we are disputing this through our solicitor and they agree with me that shrinkage cracks should be covered under "snagging".
So what do we think is shrinkage snagging or am i being a pain in the backside?
