New Build Snagging Survey
The Best Time to Book: Right After Key Handover
The absolute best time to have this survey carried out is the moment you get the keys, or within the first few weeks of moving in.
While you have up to two years to report defects to your builder, getting a comprehensive report to the site manager immediately ensures that the original site workers are usually still on-site to fix the issues quickly, before they pack up and move to a new development.
Why This is My Flagship Inspection
A standard developer walkthrough only catches surface-level issues, like a scratch on a kitchen cupboard. My New Build Snagging Survey is an unrestricted inspection designed to catch everything the builders don't want you to see.
I look past the fresh paint and shiny appliances to inspect the actual build quality of your home.
Unrestricted & Deep-Dive: Unlike pre-completion checks, this survey has no strict limitations. I look into the loft, check structural levels, and test every single component of the house.
Protection for Your Investment: Fixing modern construction mistakes can cost thousands out of pocket if left too long. I hand you the proof you need to force the developer to cover the costs.
What My Survey Covers
I spend hours meticulously checking your property from top to bottom, adhering to strict industry standards. My inspection includes:
Structural & Level Checks: Checking sub-floor levels, door frames, and walls for plumb and level to ensure the house is structurally true.
External Brickwork & Roof: Inspecting external brickwork tolerances, mortar joints, weep vents, lead flashing, guttering, and visible roof tiling.
Loft & Roof Space: Checking for correct insulation depth, adequate ventilation, fire-stopping breaches between walls, and structural roof truss stability.
Joinery & Internal Finishes: Scrutinising the quality of stairs, skirting boards, doors, ironmongery, plastering, and paintwork finishes.
Services & Plumbing: Testing for slow leaks, checking drainage, inspecting radiator balances, and verifying the functionality of all fixtures.
The 24-Hour Digital Report
Within 24 hours of the inspection, you will receive a detailed digital PDF report. Every single defect—from minor paint scuffs to major structural breaches is documented with high-resolution photography, clear locations, and references to industry standards. It is formatted specifically to be handed straight to your site manager or developer's customer care team.
