New Build Snagging Surveys in Greater London
Independent RPSA accredited inspectors based in Mile End, covering 54 towns across East, North, South, West and Outer London. Fixed prices, £0 deposit and your report within 36 hours.
Snagging Surveys Across London
London builds more new homes than anywhere else in the UK, from high-rise apartments in Stratford and Canning Town to riverside schemes in Greenwich, Barking and Battersea. Whatever you are buying, a professional snagging survey gives you an independent record of every defect, so your developer fixes it at their cost rather than yours.
Our head office is on Mile End Road in East London, so our inspectors are never far from your development. 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 London New Builds
Every area has its own building styles and common faults. Here is what our inspectors see most often.
Most London new builds are apartments in larger blocks, and that shapes the snags we find. The most common issues include:
- Windows and balcony doors that are poorly sealed or out of adjustment, especially on higher floors
- Ventilation (MVHR) units that are noisy, unbalanced or not properly commissioned
- Fire doors that do not close fully, and gaps around service pipes and cupboards
- Damaged or unfinished communal areas, entrance doors and lifts
- Decoration, sealant and joinery left unfinished in the rush to hand over
For houses in Outer London we also inspect roofs, brickwork, drainage and external works. Our Premium survey adds thermal imaging to spot missing insulation and cold spots you cannot see with the naked eye.

Your Questions Answered
Which parts of London do you cover?
We cover all of Greater London, including East, North, South, West and Outer London. Our head office is in Mile End (E1), so our inspectors are based right in the capital and know its developments well.
Do you inspect apartments in high-rise blocks?
Yes. Most of our London surveys are apartments. We inspect everything inside your flat, including any balcony or terrace, and we note visible issues in communal areas that could affect you.
How much does a snagging survey in London cost?
Fixed prices start from £325 for a Pre-Completion Inspection. The price depends on the survey type and the size of your home, and there is no deposit to book. See our pricing page for every option.
When should I book my snagging inspection?
Ideally before you complete, so defects are fixed before you move in. If you have already moved in you can still book: your developer must put right defects reported during the first two years of your new home warranty.
