Completing on a new build home in Leicester Grange is an exciting milestone, but the experience for the majority of purchasers is that the property is not finished to the standard they were promised. Evidence consistently shows that over 90% of newly built houses have defects identified during a professional inspection. Quality Snagging Company carries out independent snagging inspections across Leicester Grange and the surrounding area. 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 depth of experience means issues that a less experienced inspector would walk past are identified and documented.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Leicester Grange

Newly built properties in Leicester Grange are subject to the same national pattern of defects seen across the UK: cosmetic problems like poorly finished paintwork, misaligned tiles and ill-fitting doors sit alongside structural and building envelope issues including insulation voids, drainage failures and fire compartmentation shortfalls. A trained surveyor with a construction background finds what a non-specialist would miss.

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.

The Inspection Process for New Builds in Leicester Grange

Every survey examines the complete property. 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.

Inside the property, checks cover every room in the property, walls and ceilings for cracking, bowing and poor decoration, floor coverings and the substrate beneath them, kitchens and bathrooms for fixing, sealing, tiling, plumbing and appliance installation, heating systems and radiator installations, ventilation including extract fans and trickle vents, the full electrical installation, the roof void where safe access exists.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all parts of Leicester Grange?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company covers Leicester Grange and the wider region. Contact the team on 07354 622752 to confirm your exact postcode is covered.
How quickly should I book my snagging survey in Leicester Grange?
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 Leicester Grange?
Availability for Leicester Grange inspections is confirmed at the time of booking. Call 07354 622752 to discuss available dates for your Leicester Grange property.
My developer says the property in Leicester Grange is finished to a high standard. Do I still need a survey?
Yes, absolutely, and it is a very familiar position for new build buyers to be in. 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. Properties across Leicester Grange and the wider area regularly produce substantial snag lists even when the developer has confirmed the build is finished.
Does the inspection in Leicester Grange 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 Leicester Grange 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 Leicester Grange?
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 Leicester Grange 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 Leicester Grange?
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 Leicester Grange property?
You are welcome to attend the inspection. 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 Leicester Grange?
All new build residential property types in Leicester Grange 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 Leicester Grange?
The difference is purely timing: both are a professional inspection of the property's build quality. 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 Leicester Grange purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
