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 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, transparent, all-in 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 keep costs efficient. We will always give you the fairest possible price for your inspection.

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