How quickly will I receive my snagging report?

Home Snagging UK provides a comprehensive report promptly after the inspection, complete with photographs and clear explanations that can be forwarded directly to your developer.

Why is a drone inspection useful?

Drone inspections allow roof coverings, guttering and other high level areas to be inspected safely without the need for scaffolding.

What does thermal imaging check during a home snagging inspection?

Thermal imaging helps identify heating inefficiencies, cold spots and areas where the property's energy performance could be improved.

Can a professional snagging inspector find issues I would miss?

Yes. Experienced inspectors identify both cosmetic and technical defects that are often overlooked during a standard walkthrough, including roofing, drainage, heating and construction issues.

What is a post completion home snagging inspection?

A post completion inspection takes place after legal completion and identifies defects that should be rectified by the developer under their warranty obligations.

Professional Home Snagging Inspection In Warwick

4 Bed New Build Post Completion Inspection

Date

31 July 2026

This home snagging inspection in Warwick demonstrates why an independent inspection is one of the best investments you can make after moving into a new build home.

Although a property may look complete on the surface, a professional house snagging inspection can identify workmanship and finishing issues that are easily overlooked during a standard handover.

Property Overview In Warwick

This inspection took place at Tournament Park in Warwick, CV34, where Charlotte had recently completed the purchase of a brand new four bedroom home.

A full post completion home snagging inspection was carried out to assess the property inside and out, ensuring any outstanding defects could be raised with the developer.

Why the Customer Contacted Home Snagging UK

Charlotte wanted an independent inspection to identify any defects before progressing conversations with the developer's Customer Care team.

Like many new build buyers, she had already spotted a few concerns but wanted reassurance that nothing else had been missed. An experienced snagging inspector could also explain what was likely to happen next and how best to approach the builder.

What the Home Snagging Inspection Found

The inspection identified 83 snags and defects throughout the property.

Many of these defects would not have been identified without a professional home snagging inspection.

External defects

Externally, Keith found a number of workmanship issues including cracked rendering, uneven brickwork, leaking guttering, damaged fascia boards, scratched door panels, incorrectly fitted roof components and drainage defects around the entrance to the property.

Garden and Driveway

The garden and driveway also required attention, with uneven turf, damaged tarmac, loose inspection chamber covers, drainage issues and defects to fencing and gates. Inside the property, several areas required remedial work. Decoration was inconsistent in places, flooring had begun lifting, door frames and skirting boards required further finishing, and a number of joinery defects were identified throughout the home.

Joinery

The kitchen contained several significant issues, including damaged units, misaligned doors, non-working plinth lighting, poor worktop installation and mould growth beneath the kitchen units. These are exactly the type of defects that many homeowners would never discover until much later.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging highlighted inconsistent radiator temperatures throughout the property, suggesting the heating system required further balancing and testing to achieve maximum efficiency. The drone inspection also identified defects to the roof and guttering, including debris left in the gutters and issues with the gutter outlet installation.

Overall, many of the defects identified would have been extremely difficult for a homeowner to spot without a professional home snagging inspection.

Outcome for the Homeowner in Warwick

Charlotte received a detailed, easy to understand report containing clear photographs and practical explanations for every issue identified. The report provided everything needed to approach the developer with confidence, ensuring outstanding defects could be addressed quickly and professionally.

Having an experienced inspector explain the findings and likely next steps also gave valuable reassurance throughout the process.

Keith was fantastic. He arrived early and spent three hours at my property. He was personable and professional. He identified snags in our new build that I had not previously noticed and confirmed my concerns with others.
Drawing upon his experience, he reassured me about the likely next steps and gave fantastic advice on what to do next. He and Julie promptly provided a detailed report to pass on to Customer Care.
This service was well worth the money and I couldn't recommend Home Snagging UK highly enough.
