Buying a new build property in Allesley represents one of the largest financial commitments you will make, but the reality for most new build buyers is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Industry data indicates that over 90% of newly built homes contain issues that a qualified surveyor would record. Quality Snagging Company provides independent new build inspections across Allesley and the surrounding area. Our surveyor holds a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, holds Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute of Building, is registered with the RPSA, and brings over a quarter of a century of construction experience. That background means nothing is overlooked.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Allesley Makes a Difference

New build homes in Allesley are subject to the same national pattern of defects found throughout the country: minor issues such as paint runs and skirting gaps appear alongside more serious concerns like incomplete cavity wall insulation, drainage deficiencies and gaps in fire stopping. A trained surveyor with a construction background catches both the obvious and the hidden.

Every report we produce is formatted to be presented directly to the developer. Every item is photographed, precisely located and described in plain terms. Experience shows that a formal written report from a qualified surveyor produces faster, more complete remediation than verbal complaints alone.

The Inspection Process for New Builds in Allesley

The inspection covers the full fabric of the building. Externally, this includes the roof coverings, guttering, downpipes and fascias, masonry, render and the condition of all external wall surfaces, drainage runs and inspection chambers, and the condition of driveways, paths and any landscaping included in the build.

Internally, the surveyor examines every room in the property, walls and ceilings for cracking, bowing and poor decoration, floor coverings and the substrate beneath them, kitchens and bathrooms for fixing, sealing, tiling, plumbing and appliance installation, heating systems and radiator installations, ventilation including extract fans and trickle vents, the full electrical installation, and the loft space where access is available.

Specialist add-on inspections available for Allesley properties include thermal imaging, damp inspection, drone roof survey and borescope camera inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Allesley?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company covers Allesley and the wider region. Contact the team on 07354 622752 to confirm your exact postcode is covered.
How far in advance should I book my snagging survey in Allesley?
The earlier the better, without exception. For a pre-completion inspection, you need to allow enough time for the survey to take place before your legal completion date. If completion has already passed, book immediately rather than waiting.
Can I choose my inspection day in Allesley?
Inspection days are agreed at booking to suit you and the developer's site access requirements. Call 07354 622752 to discuss available dates for your Allesley property.
My developer says the property in Allesley is finished to a high standard. Do I still need a survey?
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we encounter. Developers have a commercial interest in completing the sale promptly. Independence is the key word: our surveyor has no relationship with the developer and no incentive other than accuracy. Properties across Allesley and the wider area regularly produce substantial snag lists even when the developer has confirmed the build is finished.
Does the inspection in Allesley include external checks?
Yes, the inspection covers both the exterior and interior of the property in full. Outside the property, the surveyor examines the roof, guttering, walls, window and door installations, external drainage and all areas within the property's curtilage. The full external scope is part of every standard inspection.
What happens if my developer refuses to fix the defects identified in the Allesley snagging report?
Having a formal, evidenced report from a CIOB member surveyor is the single most important step in any dispute. The NHBC Buildmark warranty and the New Homes Ombudsman Service both exist to support buyers in exactly this situation, and both require documented evidence of defects. A follow-up re-inspection after remediation attempts produces an updated record of unresolved items, which strengthens any ongoing claim.
Is thermal imaging worth adding to a snagging survey in Allesley?
Thermal imaging is one of the most valuable add-ons available for new build inspections. The infrared camera detects surface temperature differences that reveal insulation voids, cold bridges at structural connections and window reveals, and concealed moisture. In a property in Allesley that is supposed to meet current energy performance standards, an insulation gap found by thermal imaging can justify a warranty claim that saves significantly more than the cost of the add-on.
What makes Quality Snagging Company different from other snagging surveyors covering Allesley?
The key distinction is the direct construction background of the surveyor. The surveyor holds a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB and is RPSA registered, with over 25 years of direct industry experience. A civil engineer who has spent a career in construction understands the difference between a cosmetic defect and a compliance failure, and inspects accordingly. The company holds a 5/5 rating on Trustpilot, reflecting consistent standards of inspection quality and report clarity.
Can I attend the snagging inspection at my Allesley property?
You are welcome to attend the inspection. Some buyers find it useful to be on site as the surveyor works through the property, as it allows questions to be asked and findings to be explained in context. However, the inspection proceeds at the surveyor's methodical pace regardless, and the written report will contain everything you need.
What types of property do you snag in Allesley?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Allesley. This includes detached, semi-detached and terraced houses across all sizes, purpose-built apartments in single or multi-block schemes, maisonettes and coach houses. Apartment inspections include the individual unit and, where the buyer wishes, the condition of communal areas.
What is a pre-completion inspection (PCI) and how is it different from a standard snagging survey in Allesley?
A pre-completion inspection (PCI) is a snagging survey carried out before you legally complete the purchase. A pre-completion survey is carried out before legal completion, when the developer has the strongest obligation to remedy defects before handover. The report and inspection process are identical in both cases. For Allesley buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
