Independent Snagging Surveys for New-Build Homes

Developers work to tight programmes, and defects are common — even on high-value homes. Our inspections are carried out independently, with no links to builders or developers, so you get an honest and thorough assessment of your property.

We inspect homes of all sizes, including:

  • Houses

  • Apartments

  • Affordable housing

  • Private developments

All inspections are undertaken with attention to NHBC standards, building regulations, and good construction practice.

What Our Snagging Inspection Covers

  • We inspect visible workmanship and finishes throughout the property, including walls, ceilings, floors, skirting, architraves, doors, and ironmongery, identifying defects, damage, or poor installation.

  • Inspection of units, worktops, sanitaryware, tiling, seals, and fittings to highlight installation issues, cosmetic defects, incomplete works, and damage.

  • Checks of windows and external doors for operation, alignment, damage, glazing defects, seals, and general workmanship.

  • Visual inspection of sockets, switches, lighting, radiators, pipework, and fittings to identify obvious defects or installation concerns (non-intrusive).

  • Assessment of external finishes including brickwork, pointing, render, cladding, drainage, paths, patios, fencing, and external ground levels.
