Our Snagging Service

Snagging new homes is more than just a checklist; it’s a way to establish peace of mind that your purchase is going to last. Whether you’re an overseas buyer, a new buyer or a landlord, you want to know that the developer has done their job properly and there won’t be any nasty surprises further down the line.

What we inspect During your new build snag

Our comprehensive snagging reports cover everything from general checks, like light fittings and sockets, to the more in-depth inspections, like thermal imaging and roof inspection via drone (weather permitting).

External checks

A snagging inspection checklist starts with an external inspection of the property. This covers all visual aspects of the dwelling, right from holes and chips in the brickwork to incorrect sealing to the window frames.
