A new build snagging survey is the most effective way to identify all the defects in your home before they cause long-term issues. Whether you’ve just moved in or are still within your 2 year warranty period, our detailed new build snagging surveys help you hold your developer accountable — and protect your investment.
It’s a thorough, room-by-room inspection that highlights everything from minor cosmetic flaws to more serious structural concerns. We create a clear snagging list of defects your developer should fix, saving you time, money, and stress.

A new build snagging survey is a professional inspection of your newly built home to identify defects or poor workmanship that should be fixed by the developer. These can include cosmetic issues, structural concerns, or things that don’t meet building standards.
You can book a snagging survey before or after moving in. The best time is just after legal completion and before furniture arrives. However, you’re still entitled to one within the first 2 years, during your warranty period.
Your report includes a room-by-room breakdown of all issues found, complete with annotated photos and videos. It’s written in plain English and formatted for you to send directly to your developer.
We inspect for:
Yes. Our reports are independent and professionally structured to industry standards. Most developers will accept and act upon the findings without dispute.
Most snagging surveys take around 2–3 hours, depending on the size of the property. We’ll give you a time estimate when booking.
We inspect new build homes across Kent, London, Essex, Surrey, Sussex, and the South East of England.
No problem — we’re here to help.
We offer free advice with no pushy sales, just clear information so you can make the right choice.

We recommend scheduling it around 1–2 weeks before your legal completion date — coordinate with your developer for access.
Under the New Homes Quality Code, developers are expected to allow access for a PCI — but it must be agreed in writing. We can provide guidance on how to request this.
Yes — a post-completion snagging survey is still highly recommended. A PCI is visual only, so deeper issues (e.g., insulation, plumbing faults) may not be visible.
It typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your home.
