Many buyers only begin noticing defects once they have moved in. A door catches every morning, a bathroom seal looks unfinished, paintwork becomes more obvious in daylight or fitted units do not line up as expected. These issues can be difficult to spot during a short key collection appointment.
A post-completion snagging survey gives you a more structured review after handover. An independent snagging survey provider can inspect accessible areas of the property and record visible defects so you can bring outstanding items together into one organised list rather than reporting problems one at a time.
Post-completion surveys are particularly useful when you have had time to see the property in normal use but still want an independent inspection before too much time passes.
A snagging inspection can include visible concerns you have already identified while also checking for other issues you may not have noticed.
Incomplete decoration, sealant, joinery and other finishing items can be recorded as part of the inspection.
Accessible doors, windows and fittings can be checked for obvious problems with operation or adjustment.
Visible damage to surfaces, fittings or finishes can be documented where relevant.
The inspection brings observed items into one organised record to support clearer communication with the developer.

Guide prices only. Costs depend on property size, location, access, age since completion and the inspection scope requested.
Living in a property can make some defects familiar. An independent provider can bring a fresh, methodical eye to the inspection.
Bringing defects together can make communication with the developer more manageable than raising issues individually.
The inspection can focus on visible, accessible defects and explain findings in a way that is easy to use.
