Our snagging inspection teams have been been supporting homebuyers, first-time buyers, property investors and solicitors across this part of Essex 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 individual new build plots 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 subcontractor or temporary staff member. We arrive on time, provide a fixed price 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.

What affects your inspection price

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 wall types and access requirements, and whether you need extras like thermal imaging, drone roof inspection or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. Booking midweek, confirming access arrangements 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 most competitive quote for your inspection.

Solicitors, property investors and housing developers across Essex rely on us for efficient and precise snagging inspections on tight timelines. We provide reliable, on-time service and can work directly with solicitors, housing lawyers and estate agents.
