Completing on a new build property in Lillington is an exciting milestone, yet the experience for the majority of purchasers is that the property is not finished to the standard they were promised. Research suggests that the majority of newly built homes have defects identified during a professional inspection. Quality Snagging Company offers independent new build inspections for new build buyers in Lillington and the wider region. Our surveyor brings a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction to every job, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB, holds RPSA registration, and brings over a quarter of a century of construction experience. That background means defects are not missed.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Lillington Makes a Difference

Newly built properties in Lillington 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. A trained surveyor with a construction background catches both the obvious and the hidden.

Every report we produce 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 Lillington Snagging Inspection

Every survey examines the complete property. Externally, this includes all roof elements, rainwater goods and external joinery, brickwork, pointing and render finishes, external drainage, hardstanding and all communal or curtilage areas.

Internally, the surveyor examines all rooms and circulation spaces, wall and ceiling finishes, plastering quality and paintwork, 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, 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 Lillington properties include thermal imaging, damp inspection, drone roof survey and borescope camera inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Lillington?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company operates across Lillington 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 quickly should I book my inspection in Lillington?
The earlier the better, without exception. 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 Lillington?
Inspection days are agreed at booking to suit you and the developer's site access requirements. Contact Quality Snagging Company on 07354 622752 or by email to check current availability in Lillington.
My developer says the property in Lillington 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. 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 Lillington as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Lillington 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 Lillington 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 Lillington?
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 Lillington 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 Lillington?
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. A civil engineer who has spent a career in construction understands the difference between a cosmetic defect and a compliance failure, and inspects accordingly. With a 5/5 Trustpilot rating, the results speak for themselves.
Can I attend the snagging inspection at my Lillington 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 Lillington?
All new build residential property types in Lillington are covered. 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 Lillington?
A pre-completion inspection (PCI) is a snagging survey carried out before you legally complete the purchase. 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. For Lillington buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
