Frequently Asked Questions

What is a snagging survey?

A snagging survey is an inspection of a new-build property designed to identify defects, unfinished work and issues that may need to be raised with the developer.

When should I arrange a snagging survey?

Many buyers arrange an inspection around completion or handover. If you have already moved in, you can still submit an enquiry about a post-completion snagging survey.

What kinds of problems can be identified?

Depending on the property and scope of the inspection, this can include issues with finishes, doors and windows, kitchens, bathrooms, fittings, sealant, tiling and other visible elements of the new home.

Do you carry out the survey?

No. Snagging Survey Birmingham operates an online enquiry service. We may share your enquiry with an appropriate independent snagging survey provider who can discuss the inspection with you.

How much does a snagging survey cost?

Prices vary according to the property, its size, the scope of the inspection and the provider. Submit the enquiry form with your property details so an appropriate provider can respond with information about pricing and availability.

What happens after I submit the form?

Your details may be shared with an appropriate independent snagging survey provider so they can respond to your enquiry. You can then decide whether you want to proceed with that provider.
