Pre Completion Inspection

A Pre-Completion Inspection (PCI) follows a specific checklist designed by the NHQB (New Homes Quality Board) to provide homeowners yet to move in with a list specifying if areas of the property have met its standards or not.
The PCI is only suitable pre-completion and is issued within just 24 hours.

Snagging Survey

Our snagging survey is generally more in-depth than a Pre Completion Inspection as it is not restricted to the the NHQB checklist; rather expanded to include issues that are out of tolerance according to the standards of the NHBC and Building Regulations.
This survey is only carried out after completing (unless consent granted by developer) and is issued within 48 hours.

New-build snagging in Rutland

To ensure that your new-build property is of the highest quality, we offer two types of inspections in Rutland. The first is a Pre-Completion Inspection (PCI), which is delivered within 24 hours of our visit. During the PCI, our inspectors utilise their expertise to identify and report any significant issues to the developer before you move into your new home. This inspection can detect issues such as blocked drains, leaks, damaged units, and substandard workmanship in various areas, including brickwork, joinery, flooring, plumbing, tiling, and plastering.

While the PCI has some limitations in terms of equipment usage and checks compared to the Snagging Survey, it is still a valuable inspection that can help ensure a smoother move-in process. For a more comprehensive inspection, we recommend our Snagging Survey, which is delivered within 48 hours and adheres to NHBC tolerances. During this survey, our inspectors use specialised equipment to inspect areas that are not readily visible, such as the roof, under baths, heating systems using thermal cameras, and checking the loft.

Our Snagging Survey in Rutland covers a wide range of aspects to ensure that your new-build property is of the highest quality. The checks include:-

brickwork inc weep vents etc
inspection chambers
thermal imaging of radiators / UFH
soil quality test
roof and guttering
garage & any boundary walls etc
groundwork
loft inspection
electrical test on sockets

plumbing
Co (Carbon Monoxide) test
levels of floors, walls and ceilings

"In November 2017, the family hired independent inspection company HomeSnag to do a report - and they identified nearly 150 problems"

"Most problems with new-build homes are cosmetic and easily fixed. For that reason, a traditional survey is likely to be a little excessive - and this is where snagging surveys come in... We recommend hiring a professional surveyor to conduct your snagging survey"

"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"
