Snag List & Home Inspection FAQs
What is a snag list?
A snag list is a written report of every defect in a newly built home, from paint and plaster marks to doors, windows, plumbing and electrics. Your developer uses it to fix the issues before or soon after you move in.
How much does a snag list inspection cost in Dublin?
Our home inspections are fixed price: €200 for a 1 or 2-bed property, €250 for a 3-bed and €300 for a 4-bed. A re-inspection to check the developer has fixed everything costs €150.
When should I book my new build snagging inspection?
Book as soon as you have a completion or handover date. The best time is just before you close, so the developer can fix defects before you move in. We can also inspect after you get the keys.
How long does a home inspection take?
Our home inspector spends 3 to 5 hours on site checking over 300 points inside and out. You receive a photographic, developer-ready report within 48 hours.
Do you inspect apartments and duplexes as well as houses?
Yes. We carry out snag list and home inspections on new build houses, apartments and duplexes across Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow and Meath.
What is included in the snag report?
Every defect is photographed, grouped room by room and explained in clear building terms, with thermal imaging and moisture readings included. You can forward it straight to your builder's customer care team.
