HOME SNAGGING SURVEYS FOR HAMPSHIRE

Premier Snag are one of the UK’s leading independent professional home snagging companies. Offering comprehensive snagging surveys on new-build properties across Portsmouth, Southampton and surrounding Hampshire areas.

House builders are increasing the number of new-build homes across Hampshire each year to meet Government targets which means standards are slipping and new home buyers are often left to deal with the consequences.

Left uncorrected defects could cost you thousands if not addressed in time. We pride ourselves on providing home snagging reports with in-depth findings that will help home owners approach their house builder to fix any defects. Ideally inspection will take place before completion on your new-build property, however they can be completed any time during your warranty period.

OUR HOME INSPECTION PACKAGES FAQS

  • Whilst home owners can perform their own snagging checks, our professional inspectors are much more likely to spot defects and potential issues than the average home owner. Many issues are not visible to the naked eye and require equipment such as thermal imaging cameras to detect. Your home is the biggest purchase you are likely to make and our professional surveyors allow peace of mind that all areas of your new home are up to the standard that you have paid for, for the years to come.

  • As soon as you have completed on your property purchase and have the access to the keys is normally the best time to complete a home snagging checklist. You do have two years from your completion date to report any defects (including cosmetic ones) to your housebuilder which they are legally obliged to fix as part of your property’s warranty.

    However the longer you leave it after you have moved in to your new home the harder it could become to prove certain issues were present at the time of exchange, and your housebuilder could argue that you have caused the damage when you moved in.

  • The NHQB Pre-Completion Inspection Checklist is designed to be carried out between exchange of contracts and completion to ensure your fixtures and fittings are up to standard before you move in.

  • Premier Snag are based just outside of Birmingham in the West Midlands, however we have inspectors based in several locations around the UK. Our Areas Covered section of this website provides more details of our core service areas but please feel free to contact us should you be unsure as to whether we cover your property location.

  • Your Premier Snag home survey will require between 2-4 hours onsite depending on the size of your property and some additional offsite hours to gather our findings and prepare your report. We typically provide your report within 24 hours of your inspection but will aim to accommodate urgent requests if possible.

  • Typically a structural survey is more likely to be requested by home buyers of older properties rather than new-builds. Our snagging surveys focus on the quality of workmanship and issues covered under building regulations / your properties warranty. Whilst this may highlight potential issues in areas such as roofing, brickwork and tiling, a further specialist structural survey may be required if any major issues are identified.

  • Whilst the PCI does provide an opportunity to visually assess your properties fixtures and fittings prior to completion, there are strict limitations on what can be assessed and reported by our inspectors.

    We therefore still recommend booking a full snagging inspection to report on both cosmetic issues and any potential non-visible defects, alongside any issues that fall within building regulation tolerances and your new-build property warranty rights.

  • When you book an appointment via the Premier Snag website you will have the option to pay either the full balance securely online or receive an invoice.
