What affects your inspection price
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the size and type of new build, the stage of completion, the wall types and access requirements, and whether you need extras like infrared heat loss surveys, licensed drone survey or return inspection after developer remediation. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. 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.
