What affects your inspection price
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the number of bedrooms and property type, the stage of completion, the wall types and access requirements, and whether you need extras like thermal imaging, drone roof inspection or return inspection after developer remediation. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. Booking Tuesday–Thursday, 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.
