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, drone roof inspection or return inspection after developer remediation. 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 keep costs efficient. We will always give you the fairest possible price for your inspection.
