All of our inspections are undertaken within the framework set out under the new homes quality code and checklist. We use effective snagging methodology combined with years of experience to provide you with a detailed snag list that you can count on. If you are looking for an effective and reliable property inspection service that is already enjoying five star glowing reviews, then give the The MDR Group team a call today to see how we can provide you with a snag list you can count on when making a big property investment.
Our Snagging Inspections are fully insured both professional indemnity and public liability, both for the visit and report itself.
An effective snagging report is one that identifies and assists the developer in improving their own working practice throughout the build stages, which in turn will help limit the amount of time spent in the final stages of build and deliver your houses on time.
The team at MDR can help benefit best business practice by conducting mid build inspections on units before issues are identified too late and then become more complicated to resolve later on in the build process.
MDR have been an asset to the Bellway business ensuring we are delivering the quality new homes our customers expect. The team is efficient and thorough in their approach and have been extremely valuable when benchmarking and improving standards across our developments.
Michael is a star! He responded very quickly to our snagging request and drove all the way to Cambridge just after Christmas and did an excellent job. He found more than 120 issues with the property, a few of which were actually quite major. The builder has accepted the inspection report and is currently rectifyling the issues. I highly recommend MDR – truly fantastic service!
Huge appreciation for businesses like this involved in the home buying process. It was easy for me to arrange the booking online and Michael pretty much handled the rest himself, no chasing up was required which was so refreshing after dealing with estate agents, a mortgage advisor and solicitors for the last couple of months. On top of that, I promptly received the report before I even knew he did it, having viewed the property a lot of times myself, I didn’t think there would be many issues for him to find, but his clear and concise report showed 64 (with images of each)- for the price I paid and the issues which can now be recitified by the developer rather than myself. Michael has saved me hundreds of pound, and all the hassle of getting it sorted while im living there. Couldn’t recommend MDR more.

Under the remit of the NHQB, if your developer is registered with the scheme, then they are obligated to allowing you to have you property inspected by a qualified surveyor recognised through the new homes quality board, for example, RICS or RPSA prior to legal completion. If your developer is not registered with the scheme, then ideally as soon as you have completed to allow fast remedy of identified snags.
The snagging Survey is designed to identify issues with the new property, either cosmetical or more serious. The report is a photographed document with annotations to highlight the issue with notes on this below.
Our aim is to send over the report within 24 hours of the visit. Sometimes on Larger houses or commercial units, the report can be with you within 24-48 hours.
When booking one of our services, we use a safe payment portal where you will be directed to and will be required to pay a 10% booking fee.
When we have visited the property and completed the report, your balance of payment will be due within 48 hours of this.
