Handover day moves quickly. You are checking keys, meters, paperwork and a property you may only have seen briefly before. It is very easy to miss a door that catches, damaged kitchen units, unfinished sealant or decorating that needs another pass. A snagging survey gives the property a proper, methodical check and records the issues you may want to raise.
Tell us where the property is, what you're buying and when you expect to get access. We'll use those details to help connect your enquiry with an independent snagging survey provider covering the area.
You might want the property checked before handover, just after you get the keys, or after you've already started noticing a few things yourself. Tell us what stage you're at and where the property is, and we'll help with the enquiry.

Learn more →New builds look very different across Yorkshire. In Leeds or Sheffield you might be buying a city apartment; around Hull or Wakefield it could be a house on a large phased development; in North Yorkshire it may be a much smaller estate on the edge of a market town. We cover enquiries across that mix.
We take enquiries from across Yorkshire, including Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, York, Hull, Wakefield, Doncaster, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Ripon, Scarborough, Middlesbrough, Halifax, Skipton and Whitby. Pop the postcode on the form — it's the quickest way to check the right area.

The survey is there to give you a clear view of the property, not the developer's. The useful bit is having defects identified and recorded clearly enough to act on.
You should be able to understand the findings without translating a page of jargon. A practical report makes it much easier to see what needs attention and raise it with the developer.
Coverage stretches across Yorkshire, including the big city developments, suburban estates, market towns and smaller schemes well outside the main urban centres.
A proper snagging inspection is deliberately more thorough than the quick walk-round most buyers manage at handover, with accessible finishes, fittings and other visible elements checked in turn.
An independent provider may inspect before completion where access is permitted, shortly after handover, or later when you want outstanding issues documented.
A snagging survey is an inspection of a newly built or recently completed property to identify defects, unfinished work and installation issues. The findings are recorded so you can raise them with the developer, builder or relevant contractor.
The best timing depends on the access your developer allows. Some buyers arrange an inspection before completion, while others book immediately after receiving the keys. An early inspection can make it easier to document defects before the property has been lived in for long.
Yes. An independent snagging survey provider can inspect new build houses and flats, with the inspection focused on the parts of the property that are safely accessible and relevant to the individual home.
Yes. Extension snagging is useful after major building work when you want a fresh set of eyes on finishes, visible defects and items that may need correcting before the project is fully signed off.
The enquiry service covers a wide service area across North, South, West and East Yorkshire, including the main cities and many surrounding towns. Contact us with your property location and we can confirm availability.
No inspection can guarantee how a developer or contractor will respond. What a snagging survey gives you is an organised record of observed defects that you can use when discussing remedial work.
Tell us where the property is, what stage it is at and when you expect access. The enquiry service can help you choose the most suitable snagging inspection.
