Snagging surveys in Stockport

Stockport's new build market splits between town centre apartment schemes and higher-value detached homes in Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme and Woodford. The two need very different inspections, and we price both on the same bedroom-count bands.

On the larger Cheshire-border plots, the defects that cost most to fix later are the ones behind the finish: incomplete insulation at the eaves and around dormers, poorly sealed loft hatches, and underfloor heating loops that don't balance. Thermal imaging finds all three in minutes.

Hazel Grove and Marple sites often involve sloping plots — check retaining structures, step levels and surface water drainage carefully, and get anything questionable on the list in writing.
