Read through some New Build Home Snagging Frequently Asked Questions

A snagging survey is a detailed inspection of a new build home to identify defects, unfinished work or anything that does not meet industry standards.

Professional Northampton Home Snaggers use specialist tools, building knowledge and an unbiased eye to find issues that homeowners or site managers may overlook.

Our Home Snagging Company is based in Northampton but we offer New Build Home Snagging across lots of surrounding areas such as Banbury, Bedford, Corby, Leicester and Peterborough.

At DVA Snagging Services we pride ourselves on the best of the best service, as a customer you are not just another number, we treat each home as if it was our own. Unlike most other companies we provide thermal heat loss surveys free of charge with all surveys, as opposed to being an optional extra which generally tends to be the case with others.

We create a straight to the point snagging list, noting only the issues that are necessary to note. So that you aren’t left to trail through a 100+ page document sifting through unnecessary snags.

DVA Snagging Lists are self explanatory and easy for the customer to understand and check exactly where the snag has been completed and to the highest of quality.

We believe the traffic light home snagging system is outdated and unnecessary. For example, green snags are generally completely irrelevant to the developer and gives the customer more to worry about during an already stressful time.

We have completely simplified the system so that the home snags listed are actual snags that the developer should resolve, straight to the point, concise and easy to deal with, rather than receiving an enormous document of useless information.

The best time to book a snag is your key release date and specifically the precise legal completion date, otherwise the builders and contractors are still working on the property and nothing is legally complete. It is possible for a pre-completion snag, DVA Snagging Services just advise against it as it’s counter-productive.

The time it takes to complete a Northampton Home Snagging Survey is completely dependant on the site management team that builds your property and the level of attention to detail, providing an amount of time for each and every home snagging inspection simply wouldn’t be accurate.

We inspect everything from cosmetic defects to structural concerns, including alignment, plasterwork, flooring, doors, windows, electrical fittings, plumbing, insulation, roof spaces and external areas.

Prices depend on the property type and size. Contact us for a fixed quote with no hidden fees, you can also visit our pricing page for an accurate idea of what it could cost.

Every snag on our home survey report needs to be completed by the builders, contractors or sub-contractors, our lists are very easy for the builders to understand and relate to.
