Snagging review

Ian and Mark were very professional and prompt, the snagging assessment was very thorough and identified all potential snags which were presented in a written report with images which was easily forwarded to the housing company.

Thanks again!

Worth every penny.

Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. From enquiring for a quote with Ian I received a quick response with price and example report showing me exactly what I was getting. Which was great. Communication from start to finish was also brilliant. On the day Mark attended and was polite, thorough and I didn’t even know he was here half the time! I received my detailed thorough report the same day and reassured not to hesitate to get back in contact with any questions. Worth every penny! Thanks again Lively Professional Services

Lively professional snaggers worth every penny for piece of mind

It was a pleasure to come face to face with Ian, he explained everything and took his time, he answered any questions I asked and was extremely professional. He knew what he was talking about. He did exactly what I wanted and totally put my mind at rest. I was left with the impression I could contact him at any time for further advice.

Ian has a keen eye for detail!

Ian arrived on time, was friendly and had a keen eye for detail. His report highlighted many defects we wouldn’t have known about including some fairly serious nhbc violations.
We would highly recommend his services!

Excellent service at a good price

Excellent service at a good price. Ian was flexible in fitting in an appointment around the site and the report was written and shared promptly. Nothing was too much trouble, with Ian replying to my queries about what to expect from site and in what time scales. 100% the only non stressful thing about moving was using these guys as our snagger. Would completely recommend.

Excellent peace of mind

Booked in extremely quickly and completed a very thorough inspection of the property. The report was turned around within day and provided good insight to be fed back to the building company.

Highly professional and friendly snagging service

Ian was excellent! He's very thorough and took time to explain all the snags he found. He also answered any questions we had whilst we looked around the house. I would definitely recommend you use him for your snagging inspection.

Helpful, professional snagging surveyors

Ian was very helpful and changed the date for the snagging survey a few times due to build delays.
His colleague kept to the agreed appointment, was very polite and professional. Report arrived via email the next day followed by copies in the post.

An excellent and professional service from Ian.

He was on time and incredibly thorough is his work.

He took time to explain everything to us and found things we’d never have spotted.

A really personal and friendly service with excellent attention to detail.

Highly recommended, and worth every penny.

Thank you Ian!

Well worth the money for peace of mind.

When spending a lot of money buying a new build property, I feel it is money well spent to have an independent inspection by a company with experience in this field. LPS performed an inspection for us and provided a detailed report (38 pages with 181 snags identified) ok, so we could dismiss 53 of these as being minor attention to detail, but most of the report was showing sloppy workmanship and lack of attention to detail. There was nothing in the report that surprised us, as we had already listed the major issues.
The report gave us peace of mind that there was nothing other than what we had spotted.
Mark(from LPS) was on site for just over 3 hours and knew his stuff. Had he removed kick boards in the kitchen and the bath panel from the family bathroom, he would have seen even more sloppy workmanship ( perhaps they should add this to their inspection list)
On the whole we were happy with the service provided and can recommend Lively Professional Services to anyone thinking of hiring a snagging service.

Professional and Brilliant Service

We booked Ian to snag our 3 bed new build house. He was extremely professional and found a lot of snags that we hadn’t noticed. After he was done, he explained to us almost all the snags that needed addressing. He also offered us to give him a call post the snags, in case we had any questions about the report or anything.
Thanks for your service, Ian. It’ll be a fun conversation with the developer’s customer service team. 😄

Ian was fantastic - highly recommend

Ian was fantastic, he was thorough and picked up things that would have otherwise been missed. He explained both the issues he’d found and how they could be remedied. The report he provided was very clear. I feel reassured knowing the house has been professionally snagged and I would highly recommend Lively Professional Services.

New build Snag

We recently moved into a new property and found a few initial snags ourselves however we are no experts in all things building related in particular the building regulations.

We enlisted Ian’s services and he booked us in a few days later as he happened to be at a neighbouring property on the development.

He came prepared with rubber shoes ladders and everything he needed, highly respectful of flooring etc.

Ian is very friendly, knowledgable and very efficient.
He thoroughly went through the house taking photos providing a detailed snagging report with photos and arrows and recommendations on which tradesmen should attend to fix.

We received our digital report same day which we promptly shared with our customer care team and 2 hard copies 2 days later in which we shared one with the site team.

Ian also advised we could reach out if we had any problems at all with his recommendations and he also followed up to ensure we received our reports (both types)

Highly recommend Ian.

Thanks Ian

Great, efficient and speedy service!

We were recommended the Lively Services team by a neighbouring development when reserving our new build house. We had purchased 'second hand' new builds on a few occasions and encountered both minor and major problems that cost us significantly. As such we knew that getting a snagger for our new house was an absolute must. Mark diligently compiled 137 minor defects, which thankfully weren't too much of a concern and the report was provided by Ian the very same day. Many of the issues, I wouldnt have noticed until much later. This meant we had complete peace of mind that all of the main issues had been picked up in time for submission before the 7 days. I have and will certainly recommend to others in the future.

Worth every penny!!

Mark provided an excellent service for our new build snagging survey. He was very friendly, very thorough and extremely knowledgeable. When he finished the survey, he went through the points that needed the most urgent attention. We then received a well presented report from Ian later that day.
Would definitely recommend.
