Comprehensive snagging inspections service with qualified experienced inspectors.

Free advice provided when the going gets tough with your developer.

If you are looking for a professional snagging company that puts you the new homeowner first and foremost then Site Snagging is the company for you whether or not you are based in London, Birmingham or Manchester or in any other corner of the UK.

We inspect all size apartments (including duplexes and penthouses), semi and detached houses (including townhouses), student accommodation and bungalows. We carry out inspections for new homeowners, estate agents, developers, property investment companies and landlords to help raise the quality of finish in all new build properties and refurbishments.

We find the snags before they can potentially become an issue which if out of warranty could end up costing you thousands of pounds to put right. Our detailed independent reports are taken much more seriously by builders than those provided by the new homeowner saving you in turn the stress and the worry.

Experience is a pre-requisite of any good snagging inspector which all of our inspectors have in abundance. We have come to know the the many short cuts that developers will sometimes deploy to try and and save yet more money on the cost of constructing your new home. 

Developers are obligated to rectify all defects under the terms of your warranty and the most commonly widespread in the UK is that provided by the NHBC which gives the new homeowner from the date of completion 2 years of cover on all snags and a 10 year structural warranty.

 As the buyer of a new home we found the report absolutely vital. We didn’t have time to go through each room and snag ourselves - instead we asked Site Snagging who (in little over 24 hours) gave us a comprehensive and professional snagging report. Report looks fantastic and will help us with our plight against the issues we have faced from the Builder. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.

PEACE OF MIND

Not addressing the defects in your new build home could set you back £1,000's unless they are promptly resolved by the developer.

Using our service will not only save you time if you were thinking of carrying out your own snagging inspection but we will also help eliminate the stress and disappointment that most homeowners experience once they have moved into their new home.

The average 2 bed apartment has in excess of 100 defects

Whether you have recently bought a new family home, are a first time buyer or buy to let investor then it is essential that your new property is inspected by a professional snagging company. All new homes have many defects! An inspection of a 2 bed apartment runs to an absolute minimum of 12-13 pages of snags which takes us on average 3 to 4 hours to inspect and roughly 8 hours for a 4 bed house. No other snagging company in the UK comes close to this level of detail.

1Although some developers will try to reassure you that they will snag and clean your property before handover, this is often to an unacceptable level due to their tight timescales. Developers aim to build as many properties as they possibly can in the shortest time available. The result shoddy workmanship.

When is the best time to conduct a snagging inspection?

Ideally the best time to arrange the snagging inspection is between contract exchange and pre-completion. However over the past few years most UK developers including Persimmon, Bellway, Taylor Wimpey and Bovis have refused us access citing “company policy” but the essential reason is that they do not wish to jeopardise the sale since in the past we advised clients (whose properties were in a particularly shocking state) not to complete until all snags had been sorted and which gave the client considerable leverage.

 

Not allowing the inspection pre-completion is wholly unacceptable since clients then have to put up with the wet paint, dust and sheer inconvenience of trades trampling through their new home. We have found that rectifying all snags takes on average 2 to 3 weeks on a 4 bed house.

 

Independent snagging inspections can of course still be carried out post-completion providing the necessary builder’s warranty is in place.
