How Much Does a NEW BUILD Snagging Survey Cost in the North East?

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
