Comprehensive Snagging Checks After You've Moved In
At Pinnacle Property Surveys, we carry out detailed post-completion snagging inspections for new-build homes across the UK. If you’ve already taken ownership of your property but believe there may be outstanding issues, our experienced team is here to help and provide peace of mind.
Our post-completion snagging service identifies and documents any defects, cosmetic issues, or unfinished works that may have been missed at handover. We help ensure your developer addresses these items, while confirming your new home meets current building regulations and the Home Quality Code standards you were promised.
Why Choose a Post-Completion Snagging Survey?
Even after legal completion, you remain entitled to a property free from defects under your new-build warranty. Our post-completion inspection helps ensure your developer continues to meet their obligations by identifying common snags and helping prompt timely repairs, even after you’ve moved in.
By booking a post-completion snagging survey, you can:
- Identify issues that weren’t visible before moving in
- Detect hidden snags that affect safety, functionality, or finish
- Present your builder with an independent, professional snagging report
- Strengthen your case for remedial works during the two-year warranty period
We use advanced inspection tools such as thermal imaging and drone technology, and work in accordance with strict NHQB and NHBC guidelines, helping ensure every aspect of your home is carefully assessed.
From brickwork and plumbing to fixtures and fittings, our comprehensive snagging checks identify any issues within your new-build property.

Pinnacle’s new home inspection uncovered poor insulation coverage and loose tie straps in the loft. Dave came back to re-inspect, confirming everything was done right. True professionals!
Richard W
Great service from start to finish. The inspection was carried out promptly and thoroughly. Dave found numerous problems which to us appeared to be nothing untoward. The report was received within 24hrs and passed onto our builders who corrected all the problems. We are so relieved to have used PPS and can’t thank Dave enough. For piece of mind I can highly recommend using their services.
