New Build Snagging Surveys in Cambridge
Independent RPSA accredited inspectors covering Cambridge and its new communities, from Eddington and Trumpington to Cambourne, Northstowe and Waterbeach. Fixed prices, £0 deposit and your report within 36 hours.
Snagging Surveys in Cambridge
Cambridge has some of the most ambitious new-build communities in the country, including Eddington in the north west, Trumpington Meadows and Great Kneighton in the south, Marleigh to the east, and the new towns of Northstowe, Cambourne and Waterbeach. With high property prices, buyers rightly expect every detail to be finished properly.
Every survey follows the same 200+ point checklist, and you receive a photographic, builder-ready report within 36 hours that you can send straight to your developer.
What We Find in Cambridge New Builds
Every area has its own building styles and common faults. Here is what our inspectors see most often.
Cambridge new builds are often higher-specification homes with more systems to check. The faults we see most often include:
- Ventilation, heat pumps and other systems not set up or commissioned properly
- Windows and doors that catch, rub or let in draughts
- Sealant gaps and chipped finishes in kitchens and bathrooms
- Loft or roof-space insulation that is thin, missing or disturbed
- Landscaping, paths and boundaries left incomplete
For apartments we also note visible issues in communal areas. Our Premium survey adds thermal imaging to find missing insulation and cold spots you cannot see.

Your Questions Answered
Do you cover Northstowe and Cambourne?
Yes. We cover the whole city plus Northstowe, Cambourne, Waterbeach and the surrounding CB postcodes. If your area is not listed, call us and we will confirm.
Do you check heat pumps and ventilation systems?
We visually check that systems such as heat pumps and mechanical ventilation are installed, labelled and working, and report anything that looks incomplete. Specialist servicing is a job for the installer.
How much does a snagging survey in Cambridge cost?
Fixed prices start from £325 for a Pre-Completion Inspection, and there is no deposit to book. The price depends on the survey type and the size of your home. See our pricing page for every option.
I have already moved in. Is it too late?
No. Your developer must put right defects reported during the first two years of your new home warranty, so a snagging survey is still worth booking after you move in.
