New Build Snagging in Tandridge District, Surrey

New homes are not always the defect-free properties buyers expect. Tandridge Surveyors provides independent new build snagging surveys for buyers of new residential properties across Tandridge District and surrounding Surrey — identifying build defects, incomplete finishes, and regulatory compliance issues before you legally complete. Our RICS-qualified surveyors inspect new homes with the same rigour applied to any other property survey, giving you a professional snagging list that your developer must address under your warranty agreement.

What is a New Build Snagging?

A new build snagging survey is an independent inspection of a newly constructed residential property, carried out before or immediately after legal completion. Our surveyor works through the entire property — internal and external — identifying defects in workmanship and materials, incomplete finishes, items that do not meet the NHBC Buildmark Standards or equivalent warranty requirements, and issues that may affect the property's structural integrity or habitation. The snagging report provides a comprehensive defect schedule that the developer is obliged to rectify under the new build warranty.

When Do You Need a New Build Snagging?

  • Before legal completion of a new build purchase in any Tandridge District area
  • During the developer's defects liability period (typically the first 2 years after completion)
  • When you have concerns about build quality, finishes, or specific elements of your new home
  • When the developer's own snagging inspection has not identified all defects
  • Before your NHBC or equivalent warranty inspection to ensure all issues are captured
