Completing on a new build property in Five Ways is an exciting milestone, but the experience for the majority of purchasers is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Industry data indicates that a significant proportion of newly built houses fail to meet the standard expected when properly inspected. Quality Snagging Company carries out independent snagging inspections throughout Five Ways and nearby communities. Our surveyor 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 has more than 25 years of hands-on industry experience. That background means defects are not missed.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Five Ways Makes a Difference

New build homes in Five Ways are subject to the same national pattern of defects seen across the UK: minor issues such as paint runs and skirting gaps appear 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.

Quality Snagging Company's reports are structured to be used directly with the developer's customer care team. 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.

What We Check During a Five Ways Snagging Inspection

The inspection covers the full fabric of the building. 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.

Inside the property, checks cover all rooms and circulation spaces, walls and ceilings for cracking, bowing and poor decoration, floor coverings and the substrate beneath them, the quality of the kitchen and bathroom fit-out including all plumbing connections, the central heating installation, ventilation including extract fans and trickle vents, electrical installations including sockets, switches, consumer unit and any EV charging provision, the roof void where safe access exists.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all parts of Five Ways?
Quality Snagging Company operates across Five Ways 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 soon should I book my snagging survey in Five Ways?
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 Five Ways?
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 Five Ways property.
My developer says the property in Five Ways 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. Independence is the key word: our surveyor has no relationship with the developer and no incentive other than accuracy. Properties across Five Ways and the wider area regularly produce substantial snag lists even when the developer has confirmed the build is finished.
Does the inspection in Five Ways 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. 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 Five Ways snagging report?
A professionally produced written report from a qualified surveyor significantly strengthens your position. 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 Five Ways?
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. Given the energy efficiency standards new homes in Five Ways 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 Five Ways?
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. 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 Five Ways 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 Five Ways?
All new build residential property types in Five Ways 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 Five Ways?
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 Five Ways purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
