Just bought a new house, any experts out there in terms of what to check for snagging etc, apart from the obvious visual things?

Not an expert by any means, but one thing that's worth looking for is whether sinks or shower bases have been laid correctly, so that the water drains away without leaving a patch of standing water that goes mouldy/limescaley. I've found water collects beside taps on a sink, or in a patch of the shower tray/wet room if tehy're not installed properly.
I'm sure others will have lots more to add.0 -
thats a good point, would not ever have checked for this!0

A good bead of sealant around all wet areas - baths, showers, sinks, kitchen worktops etc.0
