One of the most common questions we get is: “How much does a snagging survey cost?”

Average Cost in the UK (2025):

  • 1-2 bed home: £295–£350

  • 3-4 bed home: £350–£450

  • 5+ bed home: £450+

  • Extras (e.g. drone roof survey): £50–£95 depending on service

What’s Included:

  • Full room-by-room inspection

  • Roofline and exterior checks

  • Plumbing, electrics, joinery, brickwork, insulation, and more

  • A professional PDF report with photos and rectification notes

Why It’s Worth It:

  • Most homeowners find 50–80 issues

  • Developers are obligated to fix them (within warranty)

  • Left unchecked, issues can cost hundreds or even thousands to fix

Investing a few hundred pounds in a snagging survey could save you far more in the long run.
