Pre-Completion & Snagging Inspections

Our pre-completion inspections are carried out in accordance with the New Homes Quality Board standards, giving you a detailed picture of your property’s condition before handover. We identify defects, poor workmanship, and areas for improvement, helping ensure they are resolved before occupation.

A new build pre-completion inspection is the final assessment carried out on a newly constructed or renovated property before the owner takes possession. Its primary purpose is to identify any defects, snags, or areas of workmanship that do not meet the required standards, giving builders the opportunity to address these issues before handover.

While property owners can perform their own checks, the complexity of modern construction—with its wide range of working components, finishes, and technical systems—means it is strongly recommended that this inspection be undertaken by a Chartered Professional with specialist industry expertise.

Engaging a Chartered Professional who holds appropriate professional indemnity insurance provides reassurance that the inspection has been carried out to recognised professional standards. This not only ensures that any defects or substandard workmanship are correctly identified and resolved but also adds value and efficiency to the process, supporting a smooth and trouble-free move-in for the new owner.

We provide a comprehensive, non-intrusive pre-completion inspection service, carried out in full accordance with the New Homes Quality Board’s standard requirements. This ensures every assessment meets recognised industry benchmarks and offers a consistent, objective review of the property’s condition prior to handover.

Following the inspection, we produce a detailed, easy-to-understand report that clearly identifies any defects, areas of concern, and opportunities for improvement. This report serves as a valuable reference for both builders and owners, enabling timely and accurate rectification before occupation.

To further support our clients, we offer an advisory after-service. This includes reviewing the remedial work undertaken, providing guidance to ensure all items raised have been addressed effectively, and confirming that the final finish meets the expected quality standards. By combining technical expertise with a structured follow-up process, we help deliver a property that is both compliant and ready for immediate occupation with confidence.
