Completing on a new build home in Bermuda is an exciting milestone, but the reality for most new build buyers is that the property is not finished to the standard they were promised. Research suggests that a significant proportion of newly built homes fail to meet the standard expected when properly inspected. Quality Snagging Company carries out independent new build inspections across Bermuda and the surrounding area. The surveyor behind every inspection brings a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction to every job, holds Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute of Building, holds RPSA registration, and brings over a quarter of a century of construction experience. That depth of experience means defects are not missed.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Bermuda

Newly built properties in Bermuda are subject to the same national pattern of defects seen across the UK: cosmetic problems like poorly finished paintwork, misaligned tiles and ill-fitting doors sit alongside structural and building envelope issues including insulation voids, drainage failures and fire compartmentation shortfalls. An inspector who knows how buildings go together catches both the obvious and the hidden.

Every report we produce are structured to be used directly with the developer's customer care team. Each defect is described clearly, located precisely and supported with photographic evidence. Developers are far more likely to respond to a professionally produced independent report than to a homeowner's informal list.

What We Check During a Bermuda Snagging Inspection

The inspection covers the full fabric of the building. Outside, the inspection covers all roof elements, rainwater goods and external joinery, brickwork, pointing and render finishes, drainage runs and inspection chambers, and the condition of driveways, paths and any landscaping included in the build.

Inside the property, checks cover every room in the property, wall and ceiling finishes, plastering quality and paintwork, floors for levelness, squeaking, gaps and fixing failures, kitchens and bathrooms for fixing, sealing, tiling, plumbing and appliance installation, heating systems and radiator installations, ventilation including extract fans and trickle vents, electrical installations including sockets, switches, consumer unit and any EV charging provision, and the loft space where access is available.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Bermuda?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company covers Bermuda and the wider region. If you are unsure whether your specific postcode falls within the service area, call 07354 622752 or email qualitysnaggingco@outlook.com and the team will confirm.
How soon should I book my inspection in Bermuda?
As early as possible is always the answer. A pre-completion survey needs to be booked several weeks before your anticipated completion to allow access to be arranged with the developer. If completion has already passed, book immediately rather than waiting.
Can I choose my inspection day in Bermuda?
Inspection days are agreed at booking to suit you and the developer's site access requirements. Contact Quality Snagging Company on 07354 622752 or by email to check current availability in Bermuda.
My developer says the property in Bermuda is finished to a high standard. Do I still need a survey?
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we encounter. A developer's customer care team is not in a position to provide independent verification. An independent surveyor with no commercial relationship with the developer is the only party who can give you an objective assessment of the property's condition. In Bermuda as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Bermuda include external checks?
Absolutely, both the external building envelope and the full interior are inspected. Outside the property, the surveyor examines the roof, guttering, walls, window and door installations, external drainage and all areas within the property's curtilage. No additional fee applies for the external checks; they form part of the standard survey.
What happens if my developer refuses to fix the defects identified in the Bermuda snagging report?
A professionally produced written report from a qualified surveyor significantly strengthens your position. If the developer does not respond adequately, the report can be submitted to the NHBC as part of a Buildmark warranty claim or to the New Homes Ombudsman. 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 Bermuda?
For most new build buyers, thermal imaging is a worthwhile addition to the standard survey. The infrared camera detects surface temperature differences that reveal insulation voids, cold bridges at structural connections and window reveals, and concealed moisture. Given the energy efficiency standards new homes in Bermuda are expected to meet, any insulation deficiency can have a measurable impact on heating costs.
What makes Quality Snagging Company different from other snagging surveyors covering Bermuda?
The key distinction is the direct construction background of the surveyor. The surveyor carries a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, CIOB Chartered Membership, RPSA registration and more than a quarter century of site and industry experience. That background means the inspection is conducted by someone who knows exactly how a building should be put together, not just what a completed surface should look like. With a 5/5 Trustpilot rating, the results speak for themselves.
Can I attend the snagging inspection at my Bermuda property?
Yes, buyers are welcome to be present. 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 Bermuda?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Bermuda. This includes detached, semi-detached and terraced houses across all sizes, purpose-built apartments in single or multi-block schemes, maisonettes and coach houses. For apartments, common areas, entrance lobbies, stairwells and any external amenity areas can also be inspected.
What is a pre-completion inspection (PCI) and how is it different from a standard snagging survey in Bermuda?
The difference is purely timing: both are a professional inspection of the property's build quality. A PCI takes place before exchange or completion and gives you formal evidence of defects while the developer is still contractually motivated to resolve them before you take ownership. The report and inspection process are identical in both cases. For Bermuda buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
