🏡 New Home? Make Sure It Meets the Standard You Paid For.

A newly built home may look immaculate on handover day, but many properties contain defects that are only discovered after moving in.

From poor workmanship and damaged finishes to drainage issues and incomplete installations, even minor defects can become frustrating and costly if left unresolved.

A professional snagging survey helps identify issues before they become your responsibility, giving you a detailed schedule of defects to present to the developer.

Common issues we find include:

✔️ Poor finishing and decoration
✔️ Damaged brickwork and paving
✔️ Misaligned doors and windows
✔️ Roofing and guttering defects
✔️ Drainage concerns
✔️ Insulation and ventilation issues

Don’t assume new means perfect.

An independent snagging survey provides peace of mind and helps ensure your new home is finished to the standard expected.

Surveyed with care, beyond compare.

🏗️ Planning Building Works Near a Shared Boundary?

You may need to comply with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 before work starts.

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that projects such as extensions, loft conversions, basement excavations and structural alterations can require formal notice to be served on adjoining owners.

The Act is designed to protect both property owners by providing a clear framework for carrying out works while minimising the risk of disputes.

At PJF Surveying LLP, we can assist with:

✔️ Preparing and serving Party Wall Notices
✔️ Acting as Building Owner’s Surveyor
✔️ Acting as Adjoining Owner’s Surveyor
✔️ Agreed Surveyor appointments
✔️ Schedules of Condition
✔️ Party Wall Awards

Seeking advice early can help avoid delays once your project is ready to begin.

If you’re planning works and are unsure whether the Act applies, get in touch for an informal discussion.

Thinking about buying a house or looking after one you already own?
A residential building survey helps identify issues that aren’t always obvious — from roof defects and damp to structural movement and poor workmanship.
Knowing what needs attention now, and what can wait, makes it easier to plan and avoid unexpected costs later.
If you want clear, honest advice about a property’s condition, a professional survey can offer real peace of mind.

Out of sight doesn’t mean out of mind 🏠
Roof issues often start small but can cause serious disruption if ignored. Wind, rain and general wear and tear all take their toll over time.
A residential building survey checks the condition and explains what needs attention now — and what can wait — in clear, straightforward terms.
Whether you’re buying or already own your home, good advice helps you look after it properly.
