What To Do About Miller Homes Snagging Issues
Book a pre-completion inspection
If you have not yet received your keys, a pre-completion inspection is the most powerful option. Your builder has maximum motivation to resolve issues before legal completion.
Get a written snagging report
A professional inspector will produce a detailed written report with photographs. This is your documented evidence and is far more effective than a verbal list.
Submit formally to customer care
Send your snagging list to Miller Homes's customer care team in writing (email is sufficient). Keep copies of everything. Reference specific items and include photos.
Follow up and escalate if needed
If your builder fails to respond within a reasonable time (typically 28 days for non-urgent items), escalate to NHBC's Resolution Service. Having a professional report strengthens your position considerably.
Your 2-Year Builder Warranty
Under your 2-year defects liability period, Miller Homes is legally obligated to repair any defects in workmanship or materials at no cost to you. This warranty expires 2 years after legal completion.
Defects not formally reported before warranty expiry may not be covered. Do not wait -- get a survey while your warranty is active.
