A typical snagging inspection for a 3-bedroom new build in Keighley takes 3 to 5 hours on site. Larger 4 and 5-bedroom homes may take up to 6 hours.

Your written report with photographs is delivered within 24-48 hours of inspection completion.

The best time to get a snagging survey at Odette's Point or any BD21 new build is after legal completion but before you move your furniture in. This gives the inspector unrestricted access to all areas. If you have already moved in, a snagging survey can still be carried out around your belongings - the important thing is to get the report submitted to Avant Homes while you are still within the first 2-year NHBC warranty period when they must fix all defects.

Under the NHBC Buildmark warranty and the New Homes Quality Code, Avant Homes is obligated to fix defects raised in writing within years one and two of completion. If they refuse or delay, you can escalate to the NHBC's dispute resolution service, which will intervene. The New Homes Ombudsman Service is a further escalation route with binding powers. Avant Homes buyers on Trustpilot who escalated to the NHBC after presenting documented reports found more success than those relying on verbal complaints. A written snagging report from a qualified inspector is the foundation of that escalation.

Based on publicly available Avant Homes Trustpilot reviews, common complaints include bi-fold doors installed incorrectly requiring multiple return visits, shower and bathroom water leakage issues, workmanship and finish defects across internal walls and ceilings, and external features not meeting specification. Our inspectors follow a systematic 500-point checklist designed to catch these categories of defect specifically. The average new build in the UK has over 150 snags - our inspectors typically find between 80 and 200 on West Yorkshire properties.
