Buying a new build property in Tilehouse Green is a significant investment, but the reality for most new build buyers is that the build quality does not always match the developer's marketing. Evidence consistently shows that a significant proportion of newly built properties fail to meet the standard expected when properly inspected. Quality Snagging Company offers independent new build inspections for new build buyers in Tilehouse Green and the wider region. 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 background means issues that a less experienced inspector would walk past are identified and documented.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Tilehouse Green

Newly built properties in Tilehouse Green show the same range of build quality issues 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 finds what a non-specialist would miss.

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 Tilehouse Green Snagging Inspection

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.

Internally, the surveyor examines every room in the property, wall and ceiling finishes, plastering quality and paintwork, 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, and the loft space where access is available.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Tilehouse Green?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company covers Tilehouse Green and the wider region. Contact the team on 07354 622752 to confirm your exact postcode is covered.
How quickly should I book my inspection in Tilehouse Green?
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 completion has already passed, book immediately rather than waiting.
Can I choose my inspection day in Tilehouse Green?
Availability for Tilehouse Green inspections is confirmed at the time of booking. Call 07354 622752 to discuss available dates for your Tilehouse Green property.
My developer says the property in Tilehouse Green 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. 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 Tilehouse Green as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Tilehouse Green 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. The full external scope is part of every standard inspection.
What happens if my developer refuses to fix the defects identified in the Tilehouse 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 Tilehouse Green?
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. In a property in Tilehouse 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 Tilehouse Green?
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. 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 Tilehouse 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. 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 Tilehouse Green?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Tilehouse Green. 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 Tilehouse Green?
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. If you have not yet legally completed your Tilehouse Green purchase, a pre-completion inspection is strongly recommended.
