A new build house can contain hundreds of individual finishes, fittings and junctions across multiple rooms and floors. Even where the overall standard looks good, small defects can be spread throughout the property. A door may rub upstairs while sealant is incomplete downstairs; paintwork may be damaged in one room while fitted units need adjustment in another.
Our new build house snagging service gives the property a structured room-by-room check. We focus on accessible visible areas and everyday operation, then record the defects identified so you can raise them with the developer in an organised way.
Houses require a wider inspection pattern than many flats because there are usually more rooms, more doors and windows, stairs, additional bathrooms and a greater number of internal surfaces to review.
Living spaces, kitchens, hallways and other accessible ground-floor areas are checked for visible finishing defects, damage and obvious snagging issues.
We continue the inspection systematically upstairs rather than treating bedrooms as repeated spaces. Differences in decoration, doors, trims and fittings can reveal individual defects.
Visible stairs, handrails, skirtings, architraves and other accessible joinery are considered for finish and obvious defects. These details often run through several areas of a house.
Multiple bathrooms create multiple opportunities for incomplete sealant, tile finishing issues, damaged surfaces and fittings that need attention.
We check visible condition and normal operation where practical. Misalignment and minor damage are among the issues that can be missed during a fast developer handover.
A house may have been completed by different trades working in different areas. We look for inconsistencies that leave one room or section noticeably below the finish elsewhere.
| Service | Estimated Cost | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Two-bedroom house | £325–£425 | About £375 |
| Three-bedroom house | £375–£500 | About £440 |
| Four-bedroom house | £450–£600 | About £525 |
| Five-bedroom or larger house | £550–£750+ | About £650 |
These figures are indicative only. Size, number of floors, layout, location and inspection scope can change the price.
We move through the home systematically so upstairs, secondary rooms and smaller finishing details receive proper attention.
The inspection concentrates on issues a homeowner can reasonably identify, understand and raise.
We inspect new build houses across both inner and outer London development areas.
