As a Member of the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA) we are able to provide a ‘Pre-Completion Inspection’ (that is often referred to as a ’snagging survey’) on your new build home before you move in.

Working with the New Homes Ombudsman, RPSA members have been recognised as having the skills and knowledge to provide you with advice about the quality of your new home. – that have been specifically designed in line with the approved New Homes Quality Board (NHBQ) criteria.

The purpose of a Pre-Completion Inspection (PCI) is to identify any defects or issues in the property that need to be rectified before final handover. This could include anything from cosmetic issues, such as paint touch-ups, to more significant structural defects, such as broken roof trusses.

It is recommended that PCI snagging inspections are carried out by an independent inspector, rather than the developer or builder, ensuring that any issues are identified objectively and thoroughly, without any potential bias towards the builder’s interests.
