What we check during a home snagging inspection.

Our inspections focus on workmanship, finish quality and visible areas that may not meet expected standards.

Buying a new home should give you peace of mind but even brand-new properties can contain defects, unfinished works, or areas that fall below expected standards. Our professional snagging inspections are designed to help identify issues before they become more costly problems, with attention given to workmanship, finish quality, and visible areas that may not meet current warranty standards, building regulations, or recognised industry guidance.

Drone surveys and thermal imaging are included as standard, subject to suitable weather condition.
