Welcome to Dublin’s Leading Snagging Company!
Snag List My Home Dublin provide professional new-build snag list inspections throughout all of Dublin
Our expert inspectors are highly qualified and experienced, having inspected over 3,500 properties across Dublin. Our Dublin snagging inspectors come from different backgrounds including site management, surveying & building contracting. These professional inspections are competitively priced, starting from just €140.
Some of the faults our inspections have uncovered are simple to rectify, others can be costly, and of course, it is so much more difficult to win compensation for a scratched wooden floor or damaged kitchen units after you have sent completion monies and moved in. No matter how careful you plan, small problems will inevitably pop up during your build. And that’s where your snag list comes into play.
Once a snagging inspection has been successfully completed we will put together your snag list, which in turn you can share direct with the developer. Or if you prefer, we would be happy to send this on to the developer direct. Our aim is to make the move-in process as smooth as possible for you.
Fast turnaround on all our reports!

- We are qualified New Build Snagging Inspection Surveyors (note the important distinction between being qualified and being accredited surveyors as some snagging companies are claiming).
- We have inspected over 3,500 of properties since 2004, so we know all the tricks and shortcuts that are sometimes deployed by developers.
- We regularly inspect properties on behalf of some of the largest Irish developers (they credit us with “raising the quality of their product”).
- We have between us over 65 years of experience (essential in this industry and we feel that we are still learning). We have added to our skill set by attending courses on bricklaying, painting and decorating and plastering to name but a few, so we know what constitutes a good finish.
- As a top snagging company our charges are competitive, with no hidden extras to the prices you will see on this website.
- We use the very latest technology to conduct our inspections.
- We work alongside some of the largest estate agents in Dublin, who refers to us as their “trusted surveyors”.
- We are by far and away the most thorough inspection service in Dublin (check our 10 years of testimonials, reviews and feedback received) and can locate and identify numerous defects that other snagging companies may dismiss or fail to find.
- We work to industry wide guidelines and tolerances.
- We will without doubt help raise the quality of finish in your new property and eliminate the stress and inconvenience of you having to inevitably deal with your builder once you have moved in when the defects (snags) become apparent.
- We can save you the time and energy of creating your very own list which developers are generally dismissive of and will no doubt tell you the defect is “within tolerance” ; as is their standard reply. An independent report produced by us is taken much more seriously as they know that we know the tolerances.
- We are one of only a few snagging company Dublin to cover all areas and not just some towns.

Please note that your final snag inspection cost may differ slightly from the prices quoted above. This variation in cost is dependent on the property location, specification and size of your home and will be outlined to you upon your booking enquiry
Our re-snag inspection costs are based on the property spec, size and inspection requirements. Your inspection requirements and re-snag costs will be outlined confirmed upon your initial booking with us.
Our detailed snagging reports are sent to you the client normally within 24 hours of the inspection.
We would be happy to send the report to the developer, but sadly in the vast majority of cases our emails are mostly ignored, as more and more developers see us a huge inconvenience and hence the reason most developers today will only deal direct with the purchaser.
Payment is due in full upon meeting, just before inspection commences.
If we are meeting with developer, rather than homeowner, then payment arrangements must be made in advance of commencement of snagging.

Don’t take our word for it, see what some customers in Dublin have said about our Snag List Service!
Peter had my best interests at heart
Having practiced as a specialist construction lawyer for over 15 years, I know just how important snags are for buyers of new-build properties. I have never worked or used Snag List My Home before but their service was great from my first call to them. Very accommodating as to my requirements and I felt very much like Peter had my best interests at heart. They acted upon short notice, undertook a very thorough inspection and produced a fully comprehensive snagging report highlighting plenty of pertinent snags and giving recommendations - leaving no stone unturned!
- Dermot Gallagher - Ballsbridge, Dublin 4
Many thanks again for the sterling service
Andrew and the team at Snag List My Home helped me hugely in successfully moving into my new home. I was late organising a snagging inspection, but when I contacted Snag List My Home about conducting one at relatively short notice the team were very communicative, instantly responding to my email requests. They made it very easy to establish a time and date to conduct the review, and all the particulars were clear from the start.
They could not have been more helpful in the run up to the inspection.
- Colm Farrell, Castleknock - Dublin 15
Was well worth their fee
Under such short notice, Peter from Snag List My Home managed to set a time and inspect the property on a Saturday. On the next day (Sunday) Peter emailed through an extremely professional and thorough report. I highly recommend anyone who is considering the purchase of a new build to use Snag List My Home as the list constructed and the pro-active service provided, was well worth their fee.
- Patricia O’Connor - Ballycullen, Dublin 24
Andrew is absolutely first class
Andrew is absolutely first class. He spent several hours surveying the property that I had recently bought. As a result of the detailed list of snags he picked up and reported on, I delayed my completion date until the builder sorted the snags. I would estimate fixing these snags would have cost me something in the region of €12K – €18k, so for me, the survey that Snag List My Home did was probably the best purchase I have made in relation to purchasing this property.
- Bernice Anderson - Dalkey, Co Dublin
Peter was top notch with the inspection
Peter was top notch with the inspection. He was thorough and wrote a good report. The developer agreed to fix over 95% of the issues identified and that saved me a few thousand of Euros in future remedial work. Most importantly, he was personable, communicated and interacted well. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter. Just make sure you engage him early i.e. before completion or at least before moving in.
- Denis Turner - Clonee, Dublin 15
I cannot thank Peter enough
I am a firm believer in the saying, in that you pay for what you get. I cannot thank Peter enough for the snag list that was put together for me and my wife during our recent new build purchase. Both first time buyers, we were going into this process with no experience. I was recommended Snag List My Home by a family member and I must say, if it had not have been for the snag list report, we were looking at a potential added expense of over 5k, due to some defects that we spotted. You simply cannot put a price on peace of mind when it comes to buying a new house.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is “snagging”?
Snagging is an expression used within the building industry to describe the process of defect identification in a property.
When should the inspection be undertaken?
Ideally prior to legal completion. That way the builder has the time and opportunity to remedy snags before you move in. If that is not possible then it should be done as soon as possible after completion.
However the snagging inspection can take place at any time in the first 2 years of occupation.
Will the house builder allow access for a snagging inspection before legal completion?
Some house builders have a policy of not allowing snagging inspections prior to legal completion, however this is rare. We would recommend you insist, should your developer cite company policy.
In any event, the inspection can be undertaken immediately after legal completion or indeed at any time in the first year and it doesn’t affect the house builders liability for snags / defects. It is just more difficult for them to repair as they then have to work around you and your furniture.
What if new snags come to light after the initial snagging?
The builder is liable to repair all defects identified in the first year, so there is no limit on the number of lists that can be submitted.
As new defects become identified the original list can simply be updated and reissued.
What is the cost of a Snag List inspection?
It really does depend on how many bedrooms in the property. Our prices vary start from just €140 for a 1 bedroom apartment.
