What affects your inspection price

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 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 no hidden fees. Booking midweek, confirming key holder availability in advance and providing property details before the visit are all effective ways to ensure a smooth booking process. We will always give you the most competitive quote for your inspection.
