How snagging inspection costs are calculated
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the number of bedrooms and property type, the stage of completion, the property's structural complexity, and whether you need extras like infrared heat loss surveys, drone roof inspection or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, transparent, all-in quote with zero hidden charges. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, confirming access arrangements in advance and providing property details before the visit are all effective ways to keep costs efficient. We will always give you the most competitive quote for your inspection.

We provide reliable, on-time service and can work directly with solicitors, housing lawyers and estate agents.
