Purchasing a new build house in Shrewley is a significant investment, yet what many buyers discover is that the build quality does not always match the developer's marketing. Research suggests that the majority of newly built houses have defects identified during a professional inspection. Quality Snagging Company carries out independent snagging inspections throughout Shrewley and nearby communities. The surveyor behind every inspection brings a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction to every job, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB, holds RPSA registration, and has more than 25 years of hands-on industry experience. That background means defects are not missed.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Shrewley

New build homes in Shrewley are subject to the same national pattern of defects seen across the UK: 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.

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. 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 Shrewley Snagging Inspection

Every survey examines the complete property. Outside, the inspection covers the roof coverings, guttering, downpipes and fascias, masonry, render and the condition of all external wall surfaces, external drainage, hardstanding and all communal or curtilage areas.

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, the quality of the kitchen and bathroom fit-out including all plumbing connections, 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 Shrewley properties include thermal imaging, damp inspection, drone roof survey and borescope camera inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Shrewley?
Quality Snagging Company operates across Shrewley 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 soon should I book my inspection in Shrewley?
As early as possible is always the answer. A pre-completion survey needs to be booked several weeks before your anticipated completion to allow access to be arranged with the developer. 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 Shrewley?
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 Shrewley.
My developer says the property in Shrewley 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. Independence is the key word: our surveyor has no relationship with the developer and no incentive other than accuracy. Properties across Shrewley and the wider area regularly produce substantial snag lists even when the developer has confirmed the build is finished.
Does the inspection in Shrewley include external checks?
Absolutely, both the external building envelope and the full interior are inspected. 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 Shrewley snagging report?
Having a formal, evidenced report from a CIOB member surveyor is the single most important step in any dispute. 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 Shrewley?
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 Shrewley 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 Shrewley?
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. 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 Shrewley property?
You are welcome to attend the inspection. 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. 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 Shrewley?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Shrewley. 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 Shrewley?
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. For Shrewley buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
