I know it feels good to have trust and faith in the professionals. However, I have had my fingers burned too often regarding a new-build property. I think you would be negligent NOT to hire a snagging survey in Staffordshire!
So many problems can be easily hidden during inspections that you do not discover the issue until it becomes a nightmare to repair. Sadly, building companies in the area can be quite adept at hiding problems with that new-build property you just paid so much for.
By hiring a local inspection, you can ensure that your property is as good as the builders have claimed. It might seem like a lot of money to throw at confirming what should already be the case, but we all read horror stories. I think it is better to be safe than sorry regarding your new building in Staffordshire.
