A sharper look at your new home
A new build snag report from Home-Run Surveys Limited provides an independent inspection of newly constructed homes, apartments and developments up to two years old. We check internal and external elements for defects, unfinished work and poor workmanship, with clear photographs and observations. The report helps buyers raise issues during the developer’s warranty period while complementing homebuyer surveys & building surveys and specialist reports when assessing property condition.
What we look for during the inspection
Poor finishing often shows up in the details, and that's where we keep our eyes open. We check paint drips, scratched fittings, uneven flooring, loose handles, badly fitted trims and poorly sealed areas around kitchens, bathrooms and utility spaces. We also note signs of plumbing leaks, heating faults, glazing defects, brickwork issues and cracks in render or masonry where accessible.
External observations can include pointing, rainwater goods and visible signs of incomplete finishing work that deserve closer attention from the developer. Home-Run Surveys Limited helps you spot these issues while they are still easier to challenge and put right.
Why this inspection matters before defects settle in
Minor defects in a new build can be easy to miss when you're focused on moving day, furniture and paperwork. We help bring those issues into plain view, giving you independent evidence you can use in a sensible, organised way. A proper snagging inspection can also help you avoid paying for repairs later if faults should have been dealt with under the builder's warranty. That peace of mind matters when you've invested in a home that ought to feel finished from day one.
