I have been rushed into completing on my property but will only be able to snag the day before. Could anyone please tell me whether part of the balance of payment can be witheld to ensure that all the snags are rectified (even 1,000 to 2,000 euros would give me some comfort)- the feedback from the developer is that we can't and we haven't had a response from our solicitor on the subject.

It seems incredible that I'll have to part with all my money and then just 'hope' the developers sort out the problems identified at a later date. I'm not even sure if they have a deadline for rectifying the snags.

Are snags a breach of contract i.e. the property is unfinished?

Any advice would be helpful.
