Independent Snagging Surveys across Manchester, Preston, Blackburn and the rest of the North West.
Helping you to move into your new home with confidence.
We carry out independent snagging inspections for new-build buyers across Manchester, Preston, Blackburn and the wider North West, helping homeowners identify defects and unfinished work.
Our clear and detailed reports give you the confidence and evidence needed to have problems addressed by your developer, allowing you to focus on what matters most - turning your new house into a home.
Even the most reputable developers hand over properties with defects. Unfinished paintwork and misaligned doors are obvious, but what about an extractor fan that isn't connected, a roof tile that's lifting, or structural elements that do not meet industry tolerances?
A professional snagging inspection gives you a clear, photographed record of every issue before you lose your best chance of getting them fixed - at the developer's cost, not yours.
New Build Doesn’t Mean Perfect.
Reserve Your Inspection Slot
From an initial consultation through to a full survey, our availability is managed in real time.
Don’t miss your opportunity to get things put right
Most new-build developers are legally required to address defects reported within the first two years of completion - but the sooner you act, the more leverage you have.
We recommend inspecting immediately after you get the keys or within 6 months of moving in.
A construction background.
A methodical process.
A report your developer can't ignore.
We work in construction. We know how new homes are built, where standards slip, and where defects get hidden rather than fixed. That knowledge is what makes our inspections different — and what makes our reports effective.
Every inspection covers over 200 points, inside and out, following the same structured process regardless of the property or developer. Nothing is skimmed because a home looks good on first glance. Your report is delivered within 48 hours, fully photographed, and written so your developer cannot reasonably dispute what needs to be put right.
We work for you. Not the developer. Not the warranty provider.
What Our Clients Say.
“Insight Property Services delivered a highly thorough and professional snagging survey. Their detailed report, clear explanations, and photographic evidence were invaluable, providing confidence and reassurance throughout the process. Highly recommended.”
Heather. V - Blackburn “We'd just exchanged on a new-build semi in Cottam and honestly weren't sure a snagging survey was worth the money. We are really glad we decided in the end to reach out to the team at Insight. The inspector found a number of issues we would have never seen, with some being significant. The report was detailed, had photos of every defect, and was back with us within 48 hours. We sent it straight to the developer for the findings to get resolved. Without the report we'd have had no leverage at all. Can't recommend Insight highly enough.”
