Purchasing a new build house in Bourton on Dunsmore is an exciting milestone, yet what many buyers discover is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Research suggests that a significant proportion of newly built properties have defects identified during a professional inspection. Quality Snagging Company provides independent new build inspections across Bourton on Dunsmore and the surrounding area. Our surveyor brings a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction to every job, holds Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute of Building, is registered with the RPSA, and has more than 25 years of hands-on industry experience. That background means nothing is overlooked.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Bourton on Dunsmore Makes a Difference

Newly built properties in Bourton on Dunsmore show the same range of build quality issues 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. 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 Bourton on Dunsmore Snagging Inspection

The inspection covers the full fabric of the building. Externally, this includes the roof coverings, guttering, downpipes and fascias, brickwork, pointing and render finishes, drainage runs and inspection chambers, and the condition of driveways, paths and any landscaping included in the build.

Internally, the surveyor examines all rooms and circulation spaces, wall and ceiling finishes, plastering quality and paintwork, floor coverings and the substrate beneath them, the quality of the kitchen and bathroom fit-out including all plumbing connections, 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 Bourton on Dunsmore properties include thermal imaging, damp inspection, drone roof survey and borescope camera inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all parts of Bourton on Dunsmore?
Quality Snagging Company operates across Bourton on Dunsmore and the nearby towns and villages. 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 far in advance should I book my snagging survey in Bourton on Dunsmore?
The earlier the better, without exception. A pre-completion survey needs to be booked several weeks before your anticipated completion to allow access to be arranged with the developer. If you have already completed, do not delay, as the earlier in the two-year warranty period the survey takes place, the stronger your position.
Can I choose my inspection day in Bourton on Dunsmore?
Availability for Bourton on Dunsmore inspections is confirmed at the time of booking. Call 07354 622752 to discuss available dates for your Bourton on Dunsmore property.
My developer says the property in Bourton on Dunsmore 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. 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 Bourton on Dunsmore as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Bourton on Dunsmore include external checks?
Absolutely, both the external building envelope and the full interior are inspected. External checks include roof coverings, rainwater goods, brickwork, pointing, render, windows, doors, drainage and all external hard and soft landscaping included in the build specification. 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 Bourton on Dunsmore snagging report?
Having a formal, evidenced report from a CIOB member surveyor is the single most important step in any dispute. 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 Bourton on Dunsmore?
Thermal imaging is one of the most valuable add-ons available for new build inspections. It identifies heat loss through insulation gaps and cold bridges, and picks up moisture ingress behind finishes before it has caused visible damage. In a property in Bourton on Dunsmore 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 Bourton on Dunsmore?
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. With a 5/5 Trustpilot rating, the results speak for themselves.
Can I attend the snagging inspection at my Bourton on Dunsmore property?
Yes, buyers are welcome to be present. Being present means you can hear the surveyor's observations first-hand and ask questions as the inspection progresses. Whether or not you attend, the written report is comprehensive and stands alone as a complete record.
What types of property do you snag in Bourton on Dunsmore?
All new build residential property types in Bourton on Dunsmore are covered. Detached and semi-detached family homes, terraced properties, apartments, maisonettes and any other new build residential format fall within scope. 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 Bourton on Dunsmore?
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. Both produce the same written report format. For Bourton on Dunsmore buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
