Independent Snagging & Property Inspections Across Hull, East Yorkshire & Doncaster

Why Homebuyers Choose Ian Beattie Property Inspections

20+ Years Construction Experience

With over two decades working hands‑on in construction and property development, I bring a deep technical knowledge to every inspection. I know exactly where builders cut corners, and how to spot issues most buyers would never notice.

Fully Independent — No Ties to Developers

Your inspection is 100% unbiased. I work solely for you, the buyer — never for builders, developers, or estate agents. That means every snag, defect, and safety concern is reported with complete transparency.

Decades of Construction Expertise, Dedicated to Your Peace of Mind

I didn't just learn the trade from a textbook; I learned it on-site, from the ground up. Over the decades, I’ve seen the industry evolve, understanding exactly how a quality home should be built from foundation to roof.

For the last 10 years, I have specialised exclusively in the new-build sector. Throughout various senior roles, a core part of my responsibility was conducting rigorous handover inspections. I know exactly what shortcuts builders might take, where the hidden defects usually lie, and what acceptable tolerances look like under UK building standards.

Having spent years identifying flaws on behalf of developers, I now bring that exact insider expertise directly to you, the buyer. I know the tricks of the trade, I know what to look for, and I’m here to ensure your new home is delivered to the flawless standard you were promised.
