Buying a new build home in Paradise is an exciting milestone, but what many buyers discover is that the build quality does not always match the developer's marketing. Research suggests that a significant proportion of newly built homes fail to meet the standard expected when properly inspected. Quality Snagging Company carries out independent snagging surveys across Paradise 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 depth of experience means defects are not missed.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Paradise Makes a Difference

New build homes in Paradise show the same range of build quality issues seen across the UK: minor issues such as paint runs and skirting gaps appear alongside more serious concerns like incomplete cavity wall insulation, drainage deficiencies and gaps in fire stopping. An inspector who knows how buildings go together identifies both categories systematically.

Quality Snagging Company's reports is formatted to be presented directly to the developer. Every item is photographed, precisely located and described in plain terms. Developers are far more likely to respond to a professionally produced independent report than to a homeowner's informal list.

The Inspection Process for New Builds in Paradise

Every survey examines the complete property. Outside, the inspection covers all roof elements, rainwater goods and external joinery, masonry, render and the condition of all external wall surfaces, external drainage, hardstanding and all communal or curtilage areas.

Internally, the surveyor examines every room in the property, 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, ventilation including extract fans and trickle vents, the full electrical installation, and the loft space where access is available.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Paradise?
Quality Snagging Company covers Paradise and the wider region. 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 Paradise?
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 completion has already passed, book immediately rather than waiting.
Can I choose my inspection day in Paradise?
Availability for Paradise inspections is confirmed at the time of booking. Call 07354 622752 to discuss available dates for your Paradise property.
My developer says the property in Paradise is finished to a high standard. Do I still need a survey?
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we encounter. Developers have a commercial interest in completing the sale promptly. Independence is the key word: our surveyor has no relationship with the developer and no incentive other than accuracy. Properties across Paradise and the wider area regularly produce substantial snag lists even when the developer has confirmed the build is finished.
Does the inspection in Paradise include external checks?
Yes, the inspection covers both the exterior and interior of the property in full. 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 Paradise 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 Paradise?
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. In a property in Paradise 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 Paradise?
The primary difference is the depth of construction qualification behind every inspection. 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. With a 5/5 Trustpilot rating, the results speak for themselves.
Can I attend the snagging inspection at my Paradise property?
Yes, buyers are welcome to be present. Some buyers find it useful to be on site as the surveyor works through the property, as it allows questions to be asked and findings to be explained in context. 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 Paradise?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Paradise. 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 Paradise?
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. Both produce the same written report format. For Paradise buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
