Completing on a new build property in Coundon Green is an exciting milestone, yet the reality for most new build buyers is that the build quality does not always match the developer's marketing. Research suggests that a significant proportion of newly built properties contain issues that a qualified surveyor would record. Quality Snagging Company offers independent snagging inspections for new build buyers in Coundon Green and the wider region. Our surveyor holds a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB, holds RPSA registration, and has more than 25 years of hands-on industry experience. That background means defects are not missed.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Coundon Green

Newly built properties in Coundon Green show the same range of build quality issues seen across the UK: 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 finds what a non-specialist would miss.

Every report we produce is formatted to be presented directly to the developer. 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.

The Inspection Process for New Builds in Coundon Green

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, wall and ceiling finishes, plastering quality and paintwork, floors for levelness, squeaking, gaps and fixing failures, the quality of the kitchen and bathroom fit-out including all plumbing connections, the central heating installation, all ventilation provisions, the full electrical installation, the roof void where safe access exists.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Coundon Green?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company covers Coundon Green 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 Coundon Green?
As early as possible is always the answer. For a pre-completion inspection, you need to allow enough time for the survey to take place before your legal completion date. 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 Coundon Green?
Availability for Coundon Green inspections is confirmed at the time of booking. Contact Quality Snagging Company on 07354 622752 or by email to check current availability in Coundon Green.
My developer says the property in Coundon Green 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 Coundon Green as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Coundon Green 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. The full external scope is part of every standard inspection.
What happens if my developer refuses to fix the defects identified in the Coundon Green 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 Coundon Green?
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 Coundon Green 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 Coundon Green?
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. 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 Coundon Green 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 Coundon Green?
All new build residential property types in Coundon Green are covered. Detached and semi-detached family homes, terraced properties, apartments, maisonettes and any other new build residential format fall within scope. 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 Coundon Green?
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. Both produce the same written report format. If you have not yet legally completed your Coundon Green purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
