Snag My New Home Reviews 

We had a wonderful experience with Snag My New Home. Let’s start from the booking process and the website: clear price model, competitive prices and high availability. The snagger found more than 100 snags, most of them I’d never noticed! We didn’t infirm him there was a garage, I called him and he came back the day after to inspect my garage without any extra charge. Now the developer is fixing all the snags and the process has been flawless. Highly recommended!

Was useful for the more structural things we would have missed but they left a lot of very obvious cosmetic snags out of the report so had to produce our own comprehensive report following the inspection. Received a small refund.

I recently booked a snagging survey with Snag my new home, and it was a good job I did. On the day of the survey, the surveyor arrived promptly and after a quick introduction to the process started work. The snagging list which arrived the next morning was professional, well laid out and easy to understand, both my husband and I were surprised on how many faults we hadn’t picked up on. One of the faults was fairly major and required considerable effort to make right. Many people may feel that a snagging survey is a waste of time, but I definitely would recommend that anyone purchasing a new build house have one. It definitely gave me peace of mind and well worth the financial outlay. Thank you Snag My New Home.

Great service very fast , professional and friendly would definitely recommend

Snag my new home did a survey for me recently and I have to say, I was very impressed. There is no way that I would have noticed all the faults that the surveyor picked up on. From the top to the bottom, both inside and outside of the house the surveyor was very thorough. I have spoken to a couple of neighbours who said that they really regretted not getting a snag company in. So to anyone moving in to a new home, take my advice and get this company in.

Booking was straightforward. Staff were professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I also found the communication via Watsapp helpful.

Great service from snag my new home. Very thorough inspection which was easy for our developers to action. Unfortunately our inspector had a family emergency but snag my new home were able to send a replacement straight away. Thanks again!

We are happy with the SNAG report completed by the team. The SNAG report helped us to identify the structural defect in our new property which we would have missed it. All items listed in the SNAG report accepted by the builder and now fixing it.

Great service and attention to detail, which is what you need when booking a snagging! But for us, this is our first home, so we really needed this and we counted on it. Mr Waseem was very thoroughly checking everything in the flat, but also openly discussing with us and answering all our questions since we aren't that familiar with the process. The final report he produced was clear, comprehensive and very easy to follow and was received within 72 hours.

All in all, great experience!

Booking and scheduling was easy. They were good in communicating through e-mail and whatsapp. I booked a pre completion snag on a new build flat and the surveyor was great. The surveyor identified quite a lot of cosmetic flaws that were addressed as soon as I sent the report. I would have not noticed the cosmetic issues if I did the inspection myself. Because the surveyor knows what to look at, he was able to identify and find even the smallest gaps in the ceiling lighting fixtures. Even the missing cupboard door silicone pad was noted. Well worth what I spent for the pre-completion inspection. Also, I found them to be the cheapest among the surveyors that I considered to do the PCI.

Great service provided. Found so many snags we never would’ve noticed. Can’t recommend highly enough!!!

If you are buying a new build and want genuine peace of mind, do NOT use Snag My New Home. I hired them to inspect my new Countryside Homes (Vistry) property, trusting their expertise to catch the technical and structural issues I might overlook as a buyer. I essentially paid for nothing and was given a completely false sense of security.

Since they handed over their report, I have personally had to uncover a shocking amount of severe, fundamental defects that their inspector walked right past and completely ignored.

Here is just a sample of the glaringly obvious issues Snag My New Home missed:

Major Structural Wall Bowing: They completely failed to notice a severely bowed and bulging structural wall in the main family room. The deviation was so extreme it was forcing the skirting board into a curve, yet their inspector missed it entirely.

Roofing & Brickwork Failures: They signed off on the roof, completely missing that the rear roofline was visibly bowed because the bricklayers had built the walls too high (as later confirmed by the developer's own roofing contractor). They also missed clear structural bulges on the front roofline and jagged, misaligned roof verges across the property.

Plumbing Hazards: I had to personally identify an unsupported central heating tank on the landing, broken shower seals, a loose showerhead, and an active toilet leak pouring water onto the bathroom floor.

Missing Specifications: A professional snag should check the home against the developer's specification. They failed to notice that the TV aerial points were completely missing from both the Master Bedroom and the Family Room.

Exterior & Landscaping: They missed severely unlevelled ground requiring structural leveling (leaving a utility cover unseated), leaning fence posts, damaged boundary boards, and dead turf.

Interior Finishes: They missed wavy, uneven joints where the walls meet the ceilings across multiple rooms.

Identifying major masonry failures, bowing structural walls, plumbing leaks, and missing electrical points is literally the bare minimum expectation of a professional snagging inspector. Instead, I have had to spend weeks personally battling the site manager and developers over massive defects that Snag My New Home should have documented on day one.

Save your money. You are better off walking around your new house with a spirit level and your own eyes than paying Snag My New Home for a substandard, superficial inspection. Avoid them at all costs.

[UPDATE - IN RESPONSE TO THE COMPANY'S REPLY]

If you want to know exactly how incompetent this company is, just look at their ridiculous excuse. They actually asked me: "If the house had major structural issues, why did you buy it?"

This proves they don't even understand the basic timeline of the industry they operate in. I hired them for a POST-completion snagging survey—meaning the inspection happens after the purchase is legally complete. That is exactly what a standard snagging service is for.

Instead of taking accountability, they are trying to deflect from the fact that I had to personally document over 160 snags that their "professional" inspector walked right past. My personal snag list was entirely accepted by the developer, who even explicitly told me that the professional snag report I paid for was a complete waste of money.

To warn any future buyers, here is an updated list of the massive, glaring issues this company completely missed:

Major Structural & Brickwork Failures: An entire exterior wall built visibly out of plumb right from the foundation bricks, multiple sections of the roof misaligned with obvious deformations, a severely bowed interior wall that bent the skirting board, and botched brickwork on the rear roof (which the developer's own roofer later admitted to in writing).

Safety & Plumbing Hazards: An entirely unsupported water tank on the landing, a damaged and unsafe loft access board, and a loft left full of builder's rubbish.

Flooring Defects: LVT flooring in both bathrooms lifting because the joints were laid incorrectly, plus damaged carpets.

Exterior & General Finishes: Multiple uneven exterior patio slabs, a damaged window, wavy interior walls throughout, and missing TV media points in the main living spaces.

No amount of excuses, insulting replies, or hiding behind Terms & Conditions changes the fact that they missed over 160 legitimate defects, including fundamental structural and safety hazards. Their defensive response perfectly proves my point about their complete lack of professionalism and zero customer care. Trust the 1-star reviews on this page. Save your money and avoid them at all costs.

UPDATE: Posted my full name and called me a scammer! Reported to the ICO.

Great communication from start til finish. The survey was very thorough, and was published as as a succinct document that the developer was able to use and refer back to inorder to rectify the snags.

I used snag my new home to conduct a post completion snagging survey on a new home I bought with Taylor Wimpy. I was very pleased with the service provided and the snagging report issued was massively helpful in getting the developer to remediate defects. I have recommended snag my new home to others completing in my development and would happily use again.

I had a great experience with Snag My Home. From my first enquiry, the team responded very quickly and communication was excellent throughout. The availability of WhatsApp made arranging appointments and discussing any changes really convenient and prompt. They were always quick to answer any queries I had.

The surveyor was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. The report was very detailed and well documented, highlighting many issues that I would never have spotted myself. Thanks to the quality of the report, my developer has acted on the snags identified. I would highly recommend Snag My Home to anyone purchasing a new-build property.

We used Snag My New Home when purchasing our first house, as we were worried after hearing stories about some houses having so many issues!

Our snagger turned up right on time and spent a good couple hours thoroughly inspecting inside and outside of the house.

The report was very clear and arrived much faster than expected, only a couple days. Very happy with the service.

We were really happy with this snagging service, they had short notice availability, were easy to reach and provided a comprehensive snagging survey.

We are really happy with the service provided by Snag my new home. The survey report was very detailed, with plenty of photos to illustrate each snag, and arrived less than 24h after the survey took place. Customer service answered all questions promptly. Would recommend!

The inspection was very thorough with plenty elements pointed out that we had not originally considered. The response was also prompt and well presented in a room by room breakdown
