Completing on a new build home in Willey is an exciting milestone, but the reality for most new build buyers is that their new home contains defects at the point of handover. Research suggests that the majority of newly built houses contain issues that a qualified surveyor would record. Quality Snagging Company carries out independent snagging surveys for new build buyers in Willey and the wider region. Our surveyor holds a BSc(Hons) in Civil Engineering and Construction, holds Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute of Building, holds RPSA registration, and has more than 25 years of hands-on industry experience. That depth of experience means defects are not missed.

Why an Independent Snagging Survey in Willey Makes a Difference

Newly built properties in Willey show the same range of build quality issues found throughout the country: 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 catches both the obvious and the hidden.

Quality Snagging Company's reports 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 Willey Snagging Inspection

The inspection covers the full fabric of the building. Externally, this includes all roof elements, rainwater goods and external joinery, 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 all rooms and circulation spaces, 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, electrical installations including sockets, switches, consumer unit and any EV charging provision, and the loft space where access is available.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover the whole of Willey?
Quality Snagging Company operates across Willey 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 inspection in Willey?
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 Willey?
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 Willey property.
My developer says the property in Willey 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 Willey as elsewhere, our inspections routinely find defects on properties the developer had signed off as complete.
Does the inspection in Willey include external checks?
Yes, the inspection covers both the exterior and interior of the property in full. 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 Willey snagging report?
A professionally produced written report from a qualified surveyor significantly strengthens your position. 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. 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 Willey?
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 Willey 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 Willey?
The key distinction is the direct construction background of the surveyor. 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 Willey 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 Willey?
Quality Snagging Company inspects all types of new build residential property in Willey. 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 Willey?
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. The report and inspection process are identical in both cases. For Willey buyers who have not yet completed, a PCI is the recommended option.
