New Build Snagging Surveys in Ipswich

Snagging Surveys in Ipswich
Ipswich has a steady stream of new homes, from Waterfront apartments and townhouses at Ravenswood to large new neighbourhoods at Brightwell Lakes in Martlesham and the planned Ipswich Garden Suburb to the north. Many buyers are first-time buyers or families moving out from London along the A12 and the Great Eastern Main Line.
Whatever you are buying, we inspect it against the same 200+ point checklist and send you a photographic, builder-ready report within 36 hours.
What We Find in Ipswich New Builds
Every area has its own building styles and common faults. Here is what our inspectors see most often.
Ipswich new builds range from riverside apartments to family houses on the edge of town. The faults we see most often include:
- Balcony doors and windows that are out of adjustment or let in draughts
- Sealant gaps around baths, showers, worktops and window frames
- Loft insulation that is thin, missing or disturbed
- Unfinished decoration, scuffed surfaces and missing fittings
- Driveways, paths and gardens left uneven or with poor drainage
For Waterfront 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
Which parts of Ipswich do you cover?
We cover the whole town and the surrounding IP postcodes, including Ravenswood, Kesgrave, Martlesham, Pinewood, Bramford and Claydon. If your area is not listed, call us and we will confirm.
Do you inspect Waterfront apartments?
Yes. We inspect apartments as well as houses. We check everything inside your home, including any balcony, and note visible issues in communal areas that could affect you.
How much does a snagging survey in Ipswich 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.
