Hi all, 

I am in the process of buying a new build house in London and developer has confirmed that they did not compile a snagging report when the property was finished. I viewed the show home (which had furniture etc) and only did a quick walk around of the actual (empty) house I am purchasing and I am wondering if it worth hiring a snagging company to do a more detailed check to ensure toilets are flushing, water is running and the fittings and finishes are ok? I have found a company called 'New build inspections' online who seem to have very positive reviews on Trustpilot and are charging £350 including VAT which seems reasonable. 

Thanks in advance

You'll soon realise if the toilets are flushing and water running, lights working, sockets, built in appliances working. Hopefully you'll see any cracks, damage, wonky walls. etc etc. What do you think a snagging company will add?

Was going to say this, what you really want is someone who can check things you can't easily check yourself.

Someone who can make sure the electrics are up to scratch, that the structure of the building is sound and properly built, and that there is no risk of subsidence later.
