A fresh start, without the surprises
Why get a new-build snagging survey?
Even brand-new homes can have defects. An independent inspection gives you a structured look at the property and a written record of issues to raise with your housebuilder.
✓
Get an independent view
An inspector working for you can assess the home without relying solely on the developer's own handover checks.
▤
Keep a clear record
A written snagging report helps you communicate specific issues to your developer and track what needs attention.
What's included?
It's the little details — and the bigger ones.
A typical visual snagging inspection may look at:
- Walls, ceilings, plasterwork and paint finishes
- Doors, windows, locks and glazing
- Kitchens, bathrooms, fittings and sealant
- Floors, stairs, joinery and internal finishes
- Accessible external areas, brickwork and drainage
- Visible workmanship defects and finishing issues
The exact scope varies by inspector. A snagging survey is not a full structural survey or specialist electrical test.
