Snagging inspection pricing explained
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the size and type of new build, the whether the inspection is pre or post-completion, the property's structural complexity, and whether you need extras like thermal imaging, licensed drone survey or return inspection after developer remediation. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, confirming key holder availability in advance and providing the development name and plot number before the visit are all effective ways to ensure a smooth booking process. We will always give you the fairest possible price for your inspection.
