Pros & Cons

+Advantages

  • HomeOwners Alliance recommended
  • Strong customer service record
  • Pre-completion inspection specialist
  • 2-year aftercare included
  • Report goes direct to developer
  • More affordable than RICS alternatives

-Drawbacks

  • Not RICS regulated
  • Inspectors are ex-trades rather than qualified surveyors
  • Report turnaround slightly slower

No Formal Qualification Body

New Build Inspections is not regulated by RICS, RPSA, or CIOB. This does not mean the service is poor -- experienced ex-trades can provide excellent inspections -- but it does mean there is no professional body to escalate complaints to. Ensure you check their insurance and read recent customer reviews.
