Completing on a new build property in Upper Eastern Green represents one of the largest financial commitments you will make, but the reality for most new build buyers is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Industry data indicates that a significant proportion of newly built houses have defects identified during a professional inspection. Quality Snagging Company carries out independent snagging surveys across Upper Eastern Green and the surrounding area. 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 defects are not missed.

Why Snagging Matters on a New Build in Upper Eastern Green

Newly built properties in Upper Eastern Green are subject to the same national pattern of defects 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. A trained surveyor with a construction background catches both the obvious and the hidden.

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 Upper Eastern Green

The inspection covers the full fabric of the building. 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 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, 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 Upper Eastern Green properties include thermal imaging, damp inspection, drone roof survey and borescope camera inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Upper Eastern Green?
Yes. Quality Snagging Company operates across Upper Eastern Green 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 far in advance should I book my inspection in Upper Eastern 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 Upper Eastern Green?
Inspection days are agreed at booking to suit you and the developer's site access requirements. Call 07354 622752 to discuss available dates for your Upper Eastern Green property.
My developer says the property in Upper Eastern 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. Independence is the key word: our surveyor has no relationship with the developer and no incentive other than accuracy. Properties across Upper Eastern Green and the wider area regularly produce substantial snag lists even when the developer has confirmed the build is finished.
Does the inspection in Upper Eastern Green 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 Upper Eastern Green 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. 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 Upper Eastern 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 Upper Eastern 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 Upper Eastern Green?
The primary difference is the depth of construction qualification behind every inspection. The surveyor holds a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, is a Chartered Member of the CIOB and is RPSA registered, with over 25 years of direct 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 Upper Eastern Green 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 Upper Eastern Green?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Upper Eastern Green. 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 Upper Eastern 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. For Upper Eastern Green buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
