Pre & Post-Purchase Inspections
Independent inspections before or after purchasing a property, including new-build snagging and visible workmanship concerns. We identify defects, damage, missing items and incomplete finishes so you can understand what needs attention.
For new-build homes, our inspection follows the areas below. Inspections of older properties are tailored to the building and are not a substitute for a regulated building survey.
Roof & Weatherproofing
Visible roof coverings, ridges, verges, flashings, fascias, soffits, gutters, downpipes and external weatherproofing details.
Windows & External Doors
Glazing, frames, alignment, operation, handles, locks, hinges, seals, silicone, thresholds, trims and visible damage.
Walls, Ceilings & Decoration
Plaster finishes, paintwork, cracks, marks, dents, poor coverage, uneven finishes, missed areas and decorative defects.
Doors, Joinery & Ironmongery
Internal doors, frames, skirting, architraves, stairs, fitted joinery, handles, hinges, locks, latches and missing components.

Snagging Report & Re-Inspection
