Completing on a new build house in Fillongley represents one of the largest financial commitments you will make, but what many buyers discover is that the build quality does not always match the developer's marketing. Industry data indicates that over 90% of newly built properties have defects identified during a professional inspection. Quality Snagging Company provides independent new build inspections across Fillongley and the surrounding area. The surveyor behind every inspection 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 issues that a less experienced inspector would walk past are identified and documented.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Fillongley

New build homes in Fillongley are subject to the same national pattern of defects found throughout the country: cosmetic problems like poorly finished paintwork, misaligned tiles and ill-fitting doors sit alongside more serious concerns like incomplete cavity wall insulation, drainage deficiencies and gaps in fire stopping. An inspector who knows how buildings go together identifies both categories systematically.

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 Fillongley

Every survey examines the complete property. Outside, the inspection covers 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, 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, 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 Fillongley properties include thermal imaging, damp inspection, drone roof survey and borescope camera inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all areas of Fillongley?
Quality Snagging Company operates across Fillongley and the nearby towns and villages. Contact the team on 07354 622752 to confirm your exact postcode is covered.
How quickly should I book my inspection in Fillongley?
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 completion has already passed, book immediately rather than waiting.
Can I choose my inspection day in Fillongley?
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 Fillongley property.
My developer says the property in Fillongley 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 Fillongley as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Fillongley 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 Fillongley 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 Fillongley?
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. Given the energy efficiency standards new homes in Fillongley 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 Fillongley?
The primary difference is the depth of construction qualification behind every inspection. 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 Fillongley 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. 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 Fillongley?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Fillongley. 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 Fillongley?
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. If you have not yet legally completed your Fillongley purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
