Why Choose Stokemont as your Snagging List Surveyor
No generic report creator tools
We don’t use automated software to create our reports. Each and every report is dictated on site from start to finish by the Surveyor. While this takes longer to do, we believe it is the only way for Surveyors to truly complete a thorough and bespoke survey based off the facts that they find.
We don’t rush the inspection
We take our time during our surveys. Our Surveyors’ diaries are structured off the task at hand ensuing that they aren’t having to rush the inspection to move onto the next job. We don’t overload our Surveyors with consecutive inspections, this ensures they have the time to complete a thorough inspection and survey every time.
Attention to detail
We take great pride in ensuring our approach to the inspection and subsequent Surveyor report is detail driven. We will advise you of each and every aspect of the property that will result in cost for you as an incoming owner. This ensures you’re fully abreast of the facts, risks and costs.

What is a Snag?
What is a Snagging List?
What’s included in the Snagging List Survey?
When we carry out a snagging inspection, we compile a thorough list of the issues identified at the property and present them in a report that can be shared with the contractor, developer or seller. You can then hold them accountable for repairing and addressing these.
When should a snagging survey be arranged?
Be sure to do these before you move in to ensure snags aren’t disregarded as non developer or contractor quote.
What does the survey cover?
The purpose of the inspection is to assess whether the property has been completed to an acceptable standard. This includes both workmanship and performance across a wide range of internal and external elements.
Our inspection typically includes checks to areas such as:
- Installation of appliances
- Brickwork and external finish quality (houses)
- Roof coverings and external roof details, where visible (houses)
- Loft areas and insulation, where accessible (houses)
- Plumbing installations and signs of leaks
- Evenness of floors and ceilings
- Straightness, plumb, and squareness of walls
- Plaster finishes
- Joinery and fitted woodwork
- Painting and decoration
- Wall and floor tiling
- Sealant and mastic application
- Carpets, tiles, timber flooring, and floor finishes
Is this the same as a Structural or Level 2 or Level 3 Survey?
However, if our surveyor sees something that appears unusual, out of tolerance, or potentially structural in nature, that concern would be highlighted within the report.
How long does the inspection take?
The time required varies depending on the size of the home and the overall quality of construction.
As a general guide:
- A one or two-bedroom flat may take around 4 hours
- A four-bedroom house may take around 6 hours
- Larger homes, or properties with a higher number of defects, may require longer.
How many defects are usually found?
There is no fixed number, as this depends on the build quality and the size of the property.
For a typical three-bedroom house, it would not be unusual for a snagging inspection to identify somewhere in the region of 150 to 250 items needing attention.
