There are many different types of snagging services available in Hitchin, listed below are some of the snagging services we offer:
New Build snagging surveys identify small defects or problems that remain in your property after the building works have been carried out, an example of this would be a scratch on a window or a missing hinge on a door.
We always suggest that every new build should undergo a full property snagging inspection. With the amount of money you are paying for a new property, you deserve to know whether it is built to a high quality or not.

You should expect a Snagging Survey to cost anywhere between £300 and £600 in Hitchin depending on the size of your property.
There are four types of surveys you will choose from, they are listed below with some more information about each one:
This is a very standard and basic report which allows you to know the overall condition of the property, the report will also highlight any top-level issues without going into great detail.
This is one of the more popular options available, a homebuyer report offers you a detailed analysis of the condition of their property. It will usually include the value and areas of the property that doesn’t meet building regulations and may need repairing.
A building surveyor’s job is to give you a detailed structural report on any of the structural problems the property may have. We would suggest this even more if you are buying an old or run-down property, especially when you are looking to do a large amount of restoration work.
A Professional snagging inspector will help you identify smaller issues like cosmetic defects and can also identify bigger issues such as structural defects.
We would always suggest that anyone buying a brand new property whether that be a house or flat should consider a snagging inspection.
Snagging reports are also super beneficial for property investors too, it is much better for a snagging report to find out that your new buy-to-let property has significant faults than it is for your new tenant to find them out for themselves.

A home inspection is crucial when considering buying a home, this is because you don’t want to be making a huge investment into a property that has a large number of defects, this would require you to spend even more money to get them fixed at a later date.
When buying a property we would always suggest knowing exactly what you are getting yourself in for before making the purchase, this is why we always suggest a snagging report.
Similar to when buying, having a home inspection can allow you to get ahead of repairs and have them completed before listing your property, this allows for any concerns about repairs from potential clients to be automatically shut down.
Have a certified home inspection carried out before listing could actually boost the property value, you will often find that a home inspector will suggest ways for you to boost your property value by adding things to your property.
As snagging specialists in Hitchin, this is something we can offer.

Here are some of the questions we’re asked regarding home inspections:
We would always suggest that you have your new home inspected during the early parts of the construction when much more of the house is visible to the inspector.
Even though the property is newly built research shows that even new builds on average have around 50 to 150 defects, it is always best to be safe.
The aim of a Snagging report or snagging list is to highlight and identify defects found in the property which need attention.
Professional snagging companies can save you a lot of time and hassle, and given the fact they are much more experienced in this field, they can give you a much more in depth snagging report.
The ideal time to make a snagging list is when the property is finished but before you have exchanged the contracts.
