The most comprehensive new-build Snagging Survey in London

Our snagging survey in London​ typically lasts 2 hours for an apartment and 4 hours for a house, depending upon the size. Our snagger will inspect the internals of apartments only, but carry out a full inspection externally on houses, which includes:
  • External birds-eye aerial photographs of roof and gutters
  • Insulation loft inspection
  • Brickwork and Pointing snagging
  • Issues with your external doors
  • Driveways, paths and inspection chambers 
  • Soil - topsoil and subsoil quality
  • Fencing 
  • Plumbing:  internal leaks / efficiency of heating
  • Flooring levels and blemishes 
  • Ceiling / Walls and Skirting board snagging
  • Corners and ducts are square, ceilings are level and walls are plumb
  • Internal windows: draughts, scratches and damage
  • Internal doors: twisting frames, rattling and un-level doors
  • Levels of sockets, switches and radiators [note we do not inspect according to drawings]
  • Staircase joinery snagging
  • Kitchen: inspect cupboard doors, sizing up the space for appliances, extraction test etc
  • Bathrooms: tiles and fittings
  • Paintwork and Plasterwork snagging
  • Thermal imaging of radiators
For an additional £25 on the snagging inspection on your house we can also spot check your insulation. This involves drilling into the mortar of brickwork in a few places (which we will make good afterwards) to check the cavity and using a borescope camera. For apartments in London we unfortunately do not inspect this but as standard we check the heating system using thermal cameras which includes under floor heating.
We also use the thermal camera to check for heat loss which can be due to draughts or poor insulation and our surveyors are qualified to identify issues.
You will also get the option when booking to authorise us to use dot stickers internally. This will help the site quickly identify the snags we have highlighted, from a paint "snot" to an un-level door.
"Snagging - the very name is enough to put you off. No one likes having to deal with problems or hitches. But for anyone who buys a newly built or converted property, the S-word can be crucial. ​Do it right and you could save yourself thousands of pounds. Do it wrong and you could end up with a problem property"
