Snagging inspection pricing explained
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, licensed drone survey or return inspection after developer remediation. We provide a free, transparent, all-in quote with zero hidden charges. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, confirming access arrangements 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.
