We are an industry leading new build professional snagging company and the only RICS Regulated snagging company operating nationwide. Our suitably qualified, experienced and independent building inspectors can meet your snagging inspection needs. Having surveyed thousands of homes, you can rest assured you are in safe hands. Your inspector will produce a detailed and annotated report that is easy to use and understand.
Our snagging checklist is an extensive report in line with guidance from warranty providers and building regulations or the NHQB pre-completion inspection checklist. This will give you the peace of mind that your new home conforms to national standards and new home warranties. You can then give your snagging report to your developer so that they can rectify the snags that have been found, safe in the knowledge that your snagging inspection has been carried out to industry standards. Please feel free to take a look at some of our customer stories or see a sample survey using the buttons below.
You can choose two different levels of inspection. The pre-completion inspection uses the pre-completion inspection checklist and is fully compliant with the New Homes Quality Board requirements. A pre-completion inspection is an entry level inspection of your home. Our post-completion inspection is a more thorough inspection, as we are not limited by the pre-completion inspection checklist. We can also use advanced equipment during a post-completion inspection such as drones and thermal imaging equipment. A post-completion inspection is recommended as the most detailed check of your home.
