Our snagging inspection teams have been supporting homebuyers, first-time buyers, property investors and solicitors across this part of England for years.
Our inspectors know the complete range of new build property types found locally — from high-density apartment developments with complex ventilation systems and volume housebuilder sites with tight completion timelines to bespoke new build homes with specific structural requirements. That local knowledge means we arrive with the right equipment, the right inspection approach and the right expertise for your specific property — first time, every time.
Every inspection is carried out by a fully RPSA-accredited, insured snagging surveyor — not a third-party contractor or temporary staff member. We arrive on time, provide a clear fixed quote before we start and do not submit your report until every defect has been documented and you are fully satisfied. All projects include full insurance cover and no hidden fees.
From single apartment pre-completion checks to large-scale post-completion snagging surveys with thermal imaging and drone roof inspections, we handle every type of project. We also serve surrounding towns and villages — call us if you are unsure whether we cover your specific postcode.
Same-day inspection service
If you need an inspection at short notice — particularly if you are facing an imminent completion date — same-day slots are available subject to availability. Get in touch and we can usually have a local snagging inspector with you the same day or the following morning.
Snagging inspection pricing explained
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the number of bedrooms and property type, 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 de-snag follow-up visits. 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 keep costs efficient. We will always give you the fairest possible price for your inspection.
Solicitors, property investors and housing developers across England rely on us for fast and precise snagging inspections on tight timelines. We provide reliable, on-time service and can work directly with solicitors, housing lawyers and estate agents. Priority scheduling is available for imminent completions, developer handovers and end-of-warranty deadlines.
