Independent snagging inspections across London
Get your new home checked properly before defects are overlooked. Get a Free Estimate
A new build should feel finished when you receive the keys, but even a newly completed home can have defects, unfinished details and workmanship issues that are easy to miss during a short handover visit. A snagging survey can give buyers and owners a clearer picture of the condition of a newly completed house or flat. Snagging Survey London helps people across London enquire about an appropriate independent snagging survey provider.
We inspect with one purpose: to identify practical defects you can raise with the developer. That can include visible finishing problems, doors and windows that do not operate correctly, damaged fittings, incomplete sealant, uneven finishes and other issues that deserve attention. You receive a structured snagging report that makes it easier to understand what has been found and discuss remedial work with the builder.
Snagging Survey London is an online enquiry service for buyers and homeowners looking for new build snagging surveys across London.
Submit your property details through the enquiry form and your enquiry may be shared with an appropriate independent snagging survey provider so they can respond about availability and provide information or a quotation.

Our service area includes North, South, East, West and Central London as well as Croydon, Greenwich, Newham, Wandsworth, Ealing, Barnet, Hackney, Southwark, Richmond upon Thames, Bromley and many surrounding boroughs.
Because London developments vary so widely, we approach each property individually. A compact city flat can present very different snagging issues from a multi-storey new build house. Tell us where the property is, what type of home you are buying and where you are in the handover process, and we can help you arrange a suitable inspection.

Our inspections are centred on the defects, finishing issues and incomplete details commonly found when newly built homes are handed over.
The inspection is carried out for you, not the developer, so the focus stays on the condition of your home.
We describe defects in straightforward language so you can understand what has been found and raise items with the relevant developer or contractor.
We inspect houses and flats across inner and outer London, including large regeneration schemes and smaller residential developments.
We concentrate on useful observations rather than filling reports with technical language that does not help you move the issue forward.
Buying a new build can already involve deadlines, paperwork and moving arrangements. We keep the snagging process clear and manageable.
A snagging survey is an inspection of a newly built property designed to identify defects, incomplete work and finishing problems. The findings are recorded so the homeowner can raise relevant items with the developer.
Many buyers arrange snagging around completion or as soon as access is available. The best timing depends on your developer and whether an inspection can be carried out before or shortly after handover.
Yes. We inspect new build flats and houses across London. The inspection is adapted to the property type rather than using exactly the same approach for every home.
Typical findings can include damaged finishes, poor decoration, alignment issues, incomplete sealant, doors or windows that need adjustment and fixtures that require attention. Every property is different, so the number and type of snags vary.
Yes. The purpose of the inspection is to provide a clear record of the defects identified so you have something practical to refer to when contacting the developer.
We provide snagging inspections across a wide London service area, including central boroughs, outer London and major new-build locations. Contact us with the property location if you want to check availability.
