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 infrared heat loss surveys, drone roof inspection or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, 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 fairest possible price for your inspection.
