Independent New Build Snagging Surveys
Avamont Surveying provides professional new build snagging surveys, we have been supporting homebuyers since 2006 with clear, independent reports. A snagging survey ensures that your new home is inspected thoroughly before or shortly after you move in, giving you peace of mind that any faults are recorded and can be addressed by the developer.
Why You Need a Snagging Survey
Even brand-new properties can contain defects. A snagging survey identifies issues that may have been missed during construction and ensures your developer is held accountable for putting them right. From cosmetic concerns to structural issues, these surveys give you the evidence you need to request repairs.
What Our Snagging Surveys Cover
Our new build snagging surveys provide a detailed inspection of every part of your property, checking for both minor defects and significant concerns. Areas typically assessed include:
- Walls, floors, ceilings, and finishes
- Doors, windows, and fittings
- Kitchen and bathroom installations
- Heating, plumbing, and electrics (visible checks)
- Roof, gutters, and external brickwork
- Driveways, garages, and garden areas
- Compliance with building regulations and developer standards
