Questions we get asked
How quickly can you book my Hertfordshire snagging inspection?+
Usually within 5–10 working days. If you're mid-completion and need it before legal handover, tell us the date and we'll prioritise the slot.
Do you inspect luxury and premium new builds?+
Yes — much of our Hertfordshire work is on £600k–£1.2M+ plots in St Albans, Harpenden and Berkhamsted. We measure to the finish standard the price commands, not the developer's minimum.
What does a Hertfordshire snagging inspection cost?+
Fixed price by home size — 2 bed, 3 bed, 4+ bed. Ask for a quote with your postcode and we'll come back the same day.
Can you do the inspection before I complete?+
Yes. Many developers now offer a pre-completion inspection slot — we attend on your behalf and take the report straight into your solicitor if items are safety-critical.
