What affects your inspection price
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 property's structural complexity, and whether you need extras like thermal imaging, licensed drone survey or de-snag follow-up visits. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. Booking midweek, confirming access arrangements 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.

We provide reliable, on-time service and can work directly with solicitors, housing lawyers and estate agents.
