Yes. Our inspectors cover the Tudor Meadow development on Babraham Road, Sawston. We work across all plot types in the Heritage Collection range. We pay particular attention to the eco-electric systems: heat pump commissioning, MCS certification, underfloor heating balance and EV charger installation - in addition to the standard 200-point new build checklist. We recommend booking 2-3 days before your scheduled completion date.

A three-bedroom new-build inspection typically takes 2 to 3 hours. A five-bedroom detached at Tudor Meadow or in Great Shelford may take 3 to 4 hours. You receive your written report within 24 hours. If attending a retirement apartment at Granta Terrace in Great Shelford, allow up to 3 hours for a thorough two-bedroom inspection including communal areas.

Yes - the BGS classifies the Gault Formation clay beneath much of CB22 as having very high shrink-swell potential, the highest category in the BGS scale. This clay expands and contracts significantly with moisture changes, particularly in dry summers. On period village properties, we check for diagonal cracking above openings, sticking doors and windows, and gaps at floor junctions. On new builds, we check foundation drainage and floor screed condition. Any signs of movement are prioritised clearly in your report.

Yes, we cover all CB22 sectors including Duxford, Whittlesford and the surrounding villages in CB22 4. The Imperial War Museum village is primarily period stock with limited modern development - our pre-purchase inspections here focus on construction condition, roof structure, drainage and any evidence of alteration work. Travel costs are included in the quoted price for all CB22 addresses.

The Environment Agency designates a flood warning area for the River Cam covering Stapleford, Great Shelford and Hauxton within CB22. Properties on Kings Mill Lane and Church Street in Great Shelford, Bury Road and Sawston Road in Stapleford, and Riddy Close and Church Road in Hauxton are all within this zone. Our inspectors check DPC heights, external drainage falls and any internal signs of water ingress as standard. The River Granta at Babraham is a secondary flood risk in the eastern part of CB22.

Yes. New retirement apartments have specific snagging considerations beyond standard house checks: fire separation and acoustic insulation between apartments, communal corridor construction, lift shaft finish and door systems, balcony drainage, and emergency call system completeness. A written inspection report is formatted for the developer's customer care process and covers the same scope as on any other new-build property in CB22.

Air source heat pumps are standard on Redrow Tudor Meadow and similar eco-electric new builds. Before completion, verify that the MCS certificate has been issued - this is required for NHBC warranty coverage of the heating system and for Boiler Upgrade Scheme compliance. Check that the heat pump commissioning report is available, the underfloor heating manifolds have been balanced, and that the hot water cylinder programmer has been set correctly. Our inspectors cover all these points as part of the CB22 new-build checklist.
