Completing on a new build house in Lodge Green is a significant investment, 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 the majority of newly built houses contain issues that a qualified surveyor would record. Quality Snagging Company offers independent snagging inspections across Lodge Green and the surrounding area. The surveyor behind every inspection holds a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB, is registered with the RPSA, and brings over a quarter of a century of construction experience. That background means defects are not missed.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Lodge Green

New build homes in Lodge Green show the same range of build quality issues found throughout the country: 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.

Every report we produce 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. Developers are far more likely to respond to a professionally produced independent report than to a homeowner's informal list.

What We Check During a Lodge Green Snagging Inspection

Every survey examines the complete property. Externally, this includes all roof elements, rainwater goods and external joinery, 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 every room in the property, wall and ceiling finishes, plastering quality and paintwork, floor coverings and the substrate beneath them, kitchens and bathrooms for fixing, sealing, tiling, plumbing and appliance installation, the central heating installation, ventilation including extract fans and trickle vents, the full electrical installation, the roof void where safe access exists.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover all parts of Lodge Green?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company operates across Lodge Green 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 snagging survey in Lodge Green?
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 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 Lodge Green?
Availability for Lodge Green inspections is confirmed at the time of booking. Call 07354 622752 to discuss available dates for your Lodge Green property.
My developer says the property in Lodge Green 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 Lodge Green as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Lodge Green 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. The full external scope is part of every standard inspection.
What happens if my developer refuses to fix the defects identified in the Lodge Green 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. 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 Lodge Green?
For most new build buyers, thermal imaging is a worthwhile addition to the standard survey. It identifies heat loss through insulation gaps and cold bridges, and picks up moisture ingress behind finishes before it has caused visible damage. In a property in Lodge Green 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 Lodge Green?
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 Lodge Green 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 Lodge Green?
All new build residential property types in Lodge Green 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. 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 Lodge Green?
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. Both produce the same written report format. For Lodge Green buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
