What Is a Snagging Survey?


A snagging survey is a detailed inspection of your new build property carried out by a professional snagging company. The goal is to identify any defects, incomplete work, or cosmetic issues - often referred to as "snags" - that the developer should fix before your warranty expires.


These can range from:

  • Misaligned doors and windows

  • Poor plasterwork or paint finishes

  • Plumbing or electrical faults

  • Non-compliance with NHBC or building regulations

The cost of a new build snagging survey varies depending on many aspects such as; the size of your property (e.g. apartment vs. 4-bed detached home), the snagging company's experience and qualifications and sometimes even the report turnaround times and depth of inspection.

  • 1-2 bed apartment or flat - from £249-£299
