Home Snagging Inspection in Sheffield

Pre Completion Inspection at Wharncliffe Park – Bloor Homes

Date

Buying a new build home is a major investment, and having the property independently inspected before completion can help identify problems that might otherwise be missed.

This home snagging inspection in Sheffield highlights the benefits of arranging a professional pre completion survey before accepting the keys to a new property.

Peter arranged an independent house snagging inspection at Wharncliffe Park, a Bloor Homes development in the Sheffield area. Keith carried out the inspection, identifying issues that Peter had not previously noticed and providing detailed photographic evidence to support discussions with the developer.

Property Overview

Why the Customer Contacted Home Snagging UK

Peter wanted the reassurance of having his new home professionally inspected before completing the purchase.

Although developers carry out their own quality checks, an independent snagging inspection provides an additional assessment from somebody working directly on behalf of the buyer.

Keith was able to identify issues that Peter would otherwise have overlooked, explain the findings and provide the evidence needed to raise concerns with Bloor Homes before handover.
