Client Stories
We're proud to have helped hundreds of homeowners ensure their new build is finished to the highest standard.
"I recently used Acorn Snagging Limited to carry out a snagging inspection on my new build, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. They were incredibly thorough and picked up on so many faults and defects that I would never have noticed myself. Their detailed report made it really easy for me to go back to the developer, and thanks to them, every single issue has now been fixed and sorted. The whole process was smooth, professional, and worth every penny. If you’ve just moved into a new build, I’d definitely recommend getting Acorn Snagging Limited to do your snagging survey – they’ll save you a lot of stress and ensure your new home is up to standard!"

"I hired Acorn Snagging Ltd to carry out a snagging survey on my new-build property, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. The inspector arrived on time, fully equipped, and spent several hours examining every detail of the home, from the structure and finishes to the heating systems and external areas. The level of detail in the final report was outstanding. It included photos, severity ratings, and clear explanations of the defects found, which made discussions with the builder much easier. Customer service was also excellent; the team answered all of my questions promptly. Thanks to their work, I was able to get the developer to fix several issues before moving in. I would confidently recommend Acorn Snagging Ltd to anyone looking for a reliable and comprehensive snagging!"

"Recently moved into a new build in Ingleby Barwick and I'd been recommended to get a snagging survey done, having never had a new build before I had no idea what was involved. Acorn Snagging were recommended to me following a Facebook post I'd put on a local page and within a few days we'd arranged the day for them to come round. I can't fault Acorn Snagging at all, fantastic comms from the start, clear explanation of what they'd do, how it all worked. On the day that George arrived, he told us what he was going to be doing and he meticulously made his way around the house, checking every detail, from how level the window sills were to gaps in air vents and more. He was with us all in about 3 hours, probably a bit longer. He still found 178 snags. The report was emailed over a couple of days after George's visit and its a very thorough, professional report."

Protect Your Investment
Buying a new build home is a significant investment. A professional snagging inspection ensures you get the quality you paid for.
A snagging report helps uncover hidden defects in your new build before they become costly problems. Issues with plumbing, electrics, or structural elements can be expensive to fix later.
A professional snagging report gives you the evidence you need to ensure your builder fixes issues while you're still under warranty. Don't pay for problems that aren't your responsibility.
Most new build properties offer a 2-year warranty to get defects resolved. A snagging inspection identifies issues early, giving you time to have them fixed at no cost to you.
Our detailed report provides clear documentation of every defect found, with photographs and descriptions that make it easy for your builder to understand and action.
It may not be too late to get a snagging report on your property
