At Northern Survey, we recognise that buying a home is not only a financial commitment, but an investment in the future happiness and well-being of your family.
Too often an ideal new home can quickly become an emotional and financial burden, or a legal problem if the property is poorly constructed or finished.
As building standards fall, the Home Builders Federation reported 94% of new-build buyers found defects in their new homes. The problem of poor-quality construction is so widespread that the Chartered Institute of Builders recommends engaging a qualified surveyor to identify the quality defects that the RICS HomeBuyer Report overlooks.
Northern Survey's NHQB-designed pre-completion inspection, along with more extensive post-completion snagging inspections and RICS building defect inspections, provides a trusted and professional assessment of your new home's build standard and finish quality.
Undertaken before exchange or up to 2 years after entry into the property, 'snag' inspections and surveys are commonly used to resolve compliance, finish and quality issues with the developer.
However, our surveys can be undertaken at any time before expiry of the NHBC warranty and are commonly used if problems develop, or as a health check before the expiry of the warranty to give peace of mind or to help sell the property.
Our reports are recognised as trusted documents of reference and are used to resolve building defects with minimal fuss - at Northern Survey, we include developer meetings with every report to act on your behalf and avoid the stress of correcting defects.
Snag with the North's most trusted and only 5* inspectors!
