Independent Professional Snagging Inspection for Your New Build Home

Pre-completion and Post-completion snagging inspections are both types of inspections that can be performed on a new home, but they differ in when they can take place and how thorough they are:

Pre-completion inspection 

Also known as a PCI snagging inspection, this inspection takes place before the buyer takes possession of the property, usually before exchanging the contracts or complete the property purchase. It’s an entry-level assessment that meets New Homes Quality Board (NHQB) requirements and uses a standard checklist provided by the NHQB. The purpose of a pre-completion inspection is to find visual and minor issues, or “snags”, before the buyer completes the purchase and get the property keys. 

Post-completion inspection 

This inspection takes place after the buyer has completed the purchase and got the property keys. It is a more thorough inspection that is not limited by the pre-completion checklist, and it may include breach of building regulations, use of advanced equipments like thermal camera etc. The purpose of a post-completion inspection is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the home’s overall condition.

Ideally, we advice that the best time for inspection is when a new build is ready to move into or asap after you’ve moved in.

While homeowners can conduct their own snagging checks, our professional snaggers are far more likely to detect hidden defects and potential issues that may go unnoticed. Many problems aren’t visible to the naked eye and require specialized equipment, like thermal imaging cameras, to identify. Your home is likely the biggest investment you’ll ever make, and our professional surveyors offer you peace of mind, ensuring every part of your new home meets the standards you’ve paid for and will continue to perform for years to come.
