Frequently Asked Questions
It’s an independent, non-intrusive inspection that identifies defects (or 'snags') in your new build home, documented in a professional report for your builder to fix under warranty.
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.
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.
Snag My New Home is the only company in the UK offering pre and post completion snagging inspections for ONE flat fee, for your complete peace of mind that you’ve got your property in the condition which should be expected from a brand-new home. How do we do it? We will visit your property once and do a thorough inspection to find all the issues/snags regardless of these issues falling in pre or post completion inspection category. Once you receive the report, handover to your developer and let them decide, which snags they would like to fix before the completion and which ones after the completed purchase.

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. Please note, that your developer is obliged to fix the issues, faults, snags up to 2 years after completion, so there are home owners who book us before the end of 2 years period too.
