What affects your inspection price

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 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 no hidden fees. 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.
