Snagging Survey Services We Offer
Identify Defects Before You Move In for a Flawless Handover
Pre-Completion & Moving-In Survey
Flats: from £299
Houses: from £399
Key Benefits
For You as the Homeowner
- Early defect identification: Issues are identified in time for remediation before move-in.
- Efficient repairs: Developers can address defects while original trade teams are still on site.
- Improved outcomes: Increases the likelihood of timely, high-quality repairs.
What You Receive
A thorough on-site inspection while the developer is present
A prioritised list of defects with estimated repair timelines
For Your Family Moving In
- Fewer post-move surprises: Your home is better prepared for day-to-day living from the start.
- Clear documentation: A simple, independent report outlining completed and outstanding works.
- Confidence in quality: Assurance that workmanship and safety meet expected standards.
- Regulatory compliance: Verification that your home aligns with current regulations.
This service is conducted while the developer is still on site, enabling a thorough inspection before you and your family move into your new home. Identifying cosmetic and structural defects early allows most issues to be resolved before occupancy, reducing disruption and the risk of latent problems emerging after you’ve settled in.
While the developer will carry out their own checks prior to handover, this proactive survey adds an independent, expert layer — verifying workmanship, materials, and safety-critical elements before you move.
A detailed report to guide final-stage remedial works
Shared Benefits (You & the Developer)
- Smoother handover: Clear priorities reduce delays and follow-up queries.
- Fewer compliance risks: Early checks minimise regulatory issues.
- Better repair planning: Structured timelines help minimise disruption.
- Increased trust: Independent verification supports a positive start to ownership.
