Why House Builders Year End Matters

Alongside the end of the financial year in early April, many house builders also publish their full or half-year results at the end of December. These are crucial dates for property developers (and their shareholders) as they report on how many homes they have built, sold and profits over the period. Many regional offices and employees within the company will also have bonuses reliant on these figures so there is great pressure to ensure targets are met. 

For new-build property owners with completion dates set during these periods the rush to meet the end of year deadline can lead to less thorough fault and defect checking from your house builders. Reduced finishing time or forced drying out can also lead to cracking in rendering or corners being cut on painting, caulking and sealing. 

As former site managers on new-build properties Premier Snag know precisely what areas to triple check when inspecting properties in the run up to builders year end periods. Our appointment schedule always fills up fast due to the large number of properties completing during November/December and March/April. We recommend booking your inspection as early as possible to avoid disappointment and be sure any faults can be identified before your hand over date.
