How snagging inspection costs are calculated
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 infrared heat loss surveys, licensed drone survey or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. Booking midweek, confirming key holder availability 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 fairest possible price for your inspection.
Solicitors, property investors and housing developers across Hampshire rely on us for prompt and precise snagging inspections on tight timelines. We provide reliable, on-time service and can work directly with solicitors, housing lawyers and estate agents. Priority scheduling is available for imminent completions, developer handovers and end-of-warranty deadlines.
