How to choose a snagging company

Six questions worth asking any company on this page.

  • Ask what the report includes

    A good report lists each defect with a photo and its location, so you can send it straight to the developer.

  • Check new-build experience

    New builds have different issues from older homes. Ask how many new-build inspections they carry out.

  • Ask about insurance

    Check they hold professional indemnity insurance, and ask about any professional memberships they mention.

  • Confirm the timing

    Ask whether they can inspect before your completion date and how quickly you will get the report.

  • Get the price in writing

    Ask whether the quote includes a re-inspection once the developer has fixed the defects.

  • Check they cover your area

    Coverage on this page is shown by region, so confirm the company covers your exact postcode.

Frequently asked questions

A snagging company inspects a new build for defects and unfinished work, such as paintwork, doors, sealant and fittings, and gives you a report to send to the developer so they can put things right.

It depends on the size of the home and where it is. Ask the company for a written quote, and check whether a follow-up visit is included after the developer has carried out the repairs.

Book once the home is ready to inspect and before you complete, so the developer still has time to fix the defects in the report. Ask how soon they can visit and how quickly you will receive the report.

You do not have to book one, but a written report makes it easier to ask the developer to put defects right. It looks for finish and fitting issues. It is not a structural survey.
