Buying a new build home in Keresley is a significant investment, yet 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 properties contain issues that a qualified surveyor would record. Quality Snagging Company carries out independent new build inspections across Keresley and the surrounding area. The surveyor behind every inspection brings a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction to every job, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB, is registered with the RPSA, and brings over a quarter of a century of construction experience. That depth of experience means nothing is overlooked.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Keresley

New build homes in Keresley are subject to the same national pattern of defects found throughout the country: 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. Each defect is described clearly, located precisely and supported with photographic evidence. 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 Keresley Snagging Inspection

Every survey examines the complete property. Outside, the inspection covers 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.

Inside the property, checks cover every room in the property, walls and ceilings for cracking, bowing and poor decoration, floors for levelness, squeaking, gaps and fixing failures, kitchens and bathrooms for fixing, sealing, tiling, plumbing and appliance installation, heating systems and radiator installations, all ventilation provisions, the full electrical installation, and the loft space where access is available.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Keresley?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company operates across Keresley 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 Keresley?
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 completion has already passed, book immediately rather than waiting.
Can I choose my inspection day in Keresley?
Availability for Keresley inspections is confirmed at the time of booking. Call 07354 622752 to discuss available dates for your Keresley property.
My developer says the property in Keresley 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 Keresley as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Keresley 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 Keresley 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. We can also carry out a re-inspection to confirm which defects remain outstanding, giving you an updated record for any formal process.
Is thermal imaging worth adding to a snagging survey in Keresley?
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. In a property in Keresley 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 Keresley?
The primary difference is the depth of construction qualification behind every inspection. 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. 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 Keresley 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 Keresley?
All new build residential property types in Keresley 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 Keresley?
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. If you have not yet legally completed your Keresley purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
