HomeSnag are the market leading, new-build snagging company conducting the most comprehensive professional snagging inspection available. We are experts at snagging new-build properties and use specialist equipment to identify snagging issues and present them in an efficient photographic snag list for your developer to action quickly. 

External Snagging Inspection

As part of our external snagging inspection to your house in West Sussex, we ensure building regs and tolerances are adhered to, and use specialist equipment to do so

Internal Snagging Inspection

Internally we will check every accessible area including your loft. We snag issues ranging from leaks to floor levels. We can use small dot stickers to highlight paint issues

Thermographic & Borescope

An option when booking your snagging inspection is for us to carry out a borescope inspection for just +£45. This is a specialist process that checks for adequate cavity wall insulation

The most comprehensive new-build Snagging Survey in West Sussex

We cover the whole of West Sussex, and typically an inspection lasts 3 hours for an apartment and 5 hours for a house, depending upon the size. Our inspector will aim to arrive early (between 8-10am) and he will snag everything including:
  • 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
More information about the Borescope inspection: The inspection is a speciality from HomeSnag and in our opinion is worth choosing because there is no other way of ensuring your house is adequately insulated.
The inspection is a combination of using a thermal camera to check for heat loss (draughts from windows and doors are common) and using a borescope camera. The camera is inserted into the external wall (no internal decoration is effected) and we will check for voids in several areas around the building envelope. Even if there are no voids, we still provide these photographs on our overview report for your reassurance.
The option to add this service will be presented at the booking stage. Please note if you are booking for a timber framed house, a house entirely rendered or an apartment, we do not carry out this check.
At the booking stage you will also be prompted whether you'd like our snagger to use dot stickers. These are useful to highlight paint issues for the trades, but it makes no difference to the report produced.
Another unique selling point to our company is that all our snagging issues are time stamped by the photograph taken. The importance being that you will avoid being blamed for causing any damage accidentally when moving in.
"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"
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"​​
