Northern Survey Reviews 

Very detailed inspection, with thorough explanations given. Found lots of compliance issues that I would not have picked up on as a novice from visual inspection alone. Simon was a true professional, and very knowledgeable, would highly recommend.

Very thorough throughout the day. Simon was great in explaining each issue to me and the report was excellent. Could not recommend Northern Survey enough. Wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.
Thank you once again.

Good communication, job done professionally, paid attention to details, very helpful and enlightening, discovered some issues I wouldn’t have personally realised, and also scheduled and held a meeting afterwards to discuss and advise on how to resolve the issues. A big thanks to you, Paul and Simon.

If you are purchasing a new build do not miss out on this vital step in your home buying journey.
You could trail through the internet, but personally I feel you would be wasting your time, as I cannot recommend Northern Survey highly enough.
No “Hidden extras”, they are Very competitively priced and from my first interaction , Simon and Paul were the utmost professionals, amenable and very knowledgeable in their roles.
Extremely skilled in their communication, they explained everything in layman’s terms and I was completely aware of the whole process they were to complete on my property prior to the day.
Knowledgeable and meticulous in their trade, they identified things we would never have been aware of until it would have caused greater issues and damage down the line.
A leak under the bath, an issue with a toilet and two blocked pipes were dealt with immediately on the day.
They provided an overview of the key concerns and have identified items that we would never have been aware of, until we may have been out of warranty therefore they have saved us money we would have had to pay out in the future.
A comprehensive list, also identified items that may become an issue in the future, we therefore have documented evidence to cover us, should this occur.
We are so grateful for their expertise and they have given us peace of mind our house is structurally well built and they have saved us so much time in producing a snagging list ourselves.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

We recently had Paul and Simon carry out a post/completion snagging inspection on our new build property, and I can honestly say the service exceeded all expectations.

From the moment they arrived, it was clear they were true professionals. Paul and Simon were incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced when it comes to spotting even the smallest of issues. They took the time to explain their findings in plain English, answering all our questions with patience and clarity.

What really impressed us was their attention to detail — they picked up things we never would have noticed ourselves, from cosmetic blemishes to other concerns that needed raising with the developer. Thanks to their meticulous inspection, we now have a clear and comprehensive snag list that we have handed over to the developer and gives us complete confidence that there are no major structural concerns with our new home.

Their report was delivered promptly, laid out clearly, and supported by photos and explanations that will make it easy for the developer to action each item. The whole process felt reassuring from start to finish, and Paul and Simon were a pleasure to have around the house — very personable, full of interesting stories, and genuinely passionate about doing a good job.

If you’re buying a new build, do not skip this step. Hiring Northern Survey and trusting Paul and Simon with the inspection was one of the best decisions we made.

Absolutely outstanding service from Simon and Paul – true professionals in every sense of the word. From start to finish, their attention to detail, industry knowledge, and thorough approach to house snagging was second to none.

They left no stone unturned, identifying even the most minor issues that would have easily gone unnoticed by most. The snagging report they produced was not only comprehensive and clearly laid out, but so well-presented that even the site manager went out of his way to compliment it – a rare occurrence that speaks volumes about the quality of their work.

Simon and Paul made what could have been a stressful process incredibly smooth and reassuring. Their professionalism, friendly manner, and sharp eye for detail genuinely impressed us, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for snagging services.

If you’re after peace of mind and a flawless finish on your new home, these are the guys to call. Top-notch service all round!

Paul and Simon from Northern Survey literally might have saved my family's life when they found out a gas leak in our boiler which the Natinal Gas Engineer has confirmed!

Apart from that, everytghing else is superb!

Highly recommended snagging company.

Paul and Simon were absolutely brilliant. They rescheduled the appointment multiple times due the change in completion date. They spent the entire day at the property snagging every aspect of the house and giving a detailed report on completion. Fantastic company and would highly recommend

Paul and Simon from Northern Survey were absolutely brilliant! Even on one of the hottest days of the year, they powered through, demonstrating incredible dedication. Their attention to detail was truly impressive, providing both a concise summary report highlighting immediate snags and a comprehensive, 100-page report complete with images covering every aspect of the house.
I was particularly impressed by their clear and detailed explanations of the various issues. For anyone who has recently purchased a new build and wants a thorough snagging inspection, I can wholeheartedly recommend Northern Survey.

I contacted Northern Survey after seeing a couple of mentions about them in a Facebook group for new build houses.
After a helpful and friendly call with Paul we arranged for the snagging survey a few days after I moved in.
Paul and Simon were both very thorough and professional and I felt the time they spent at the house and the detail of the report I received was excellent value for money.
They checked many different areas and found defects that we were unlikely to notice ourselves and explained what the issues were.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new build snagger.

Buying an house is one of the biggest purchase you will make!
We bought a story house, property the best builder in Cumbria. ( they are )
So we took the decision to get a private survey for a piece of mind, so we shopped around and found Northern Survey.
From start to finish they are just first class they found stuff we would have never looked at?
They are really experts in this field.
They really respect you and your property.
Thank you.

What a service! 5 hours - 2 exceptionally knowledgeable surveyors, who then explained everything to me in a language I could understand. Very thorough survey inside and out, details I would never have known about or even thought about checking. The survey was very reasonable price and will have saved me thousands down the line, by being identified now.

Extremely professional and friendly service from Paul and Simon who spent a full day throughly inspecting our new house. Every corner was inspected and great information given along the way. Debrief meeting was concise and detailed and information given as to the next part of the process. Report received very timely, very detailed and with pictures to support and aid when discussing with site manager on 7 day snagging meeting. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were both very respectful of our property. Fantastic to know that we have some professional support and advice when tackling listed defects. I would highly recommend anyone buying a new property to consider this a must

Great, professional service from Paul and Simon. They spent a good 5 hours or so snagging my new build, and went above and beyond. The debrief meeting to discuss the report was also useful, and fantastic to know I have some professional support and advice when tackling the developers with the listed defects. And a Brucie bonus - there were still some chocolate Hobnobs left after their visit :-) Highly recommended!

Fantastic service delivered by Paul and Simon. A thorough inspection of both the interior and exterior of my new build completed. Although I have not yet received the written report, I was taken talked through and shown the key findings, and the one pressing issue was flagged immediately so I could raise this with my developer to be resolved. I would thoroughly recommend.

A thoroughly professional service from two highly qualified and knowledgeable really nice guys. Turned up at 10:00am as agreed and didn’t leave until 5pm - no stone left unturned and a 100 page comprehensive report followed soon after. Cost is negligible compared to the price of the house and worth every single penny. Would 100% recommend their services
