We offer expert snaglist surveys, Pre Purchase Property Inspection Ireland and advice to help you make informed decisions on your property investments.
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. Whether you're purchasing your first property or adding to your portfolio, it's important to know exactly what you're buying before contracts are signed.
At Snag List Steve, we provide professional Pre Purchase Property Inspection Ireland services that help you make informed decisions. Our inspections uncover defects, workmanship issues, moisture concerns, and potential maintenance problems that may not be visible during a standard viewing.
We work with homebuyers across Cork, County Cork, Galway, County Galway, County Kerry, County Limerick, Limerick, County Tipperary, and County Waterford, delivering detailed reports that give you a clear picture of the property's condition.
A property can look perfect on the surface while hiding expensive issues underneath. Small defects today can become major repairs tomorrow.
That's why a professional inspection is so valuable.
Our inspections help identify:
When you know the true condition of a property, you're in a stronger position to negotiate, budget, and move forward with confidence.
At Snag List Steve, we take a practical and thorough approach to every inspection.
We carefully assess both internal and external areas of the property, looking for signs of defects, incomplete work, and hidden concerns that could affect the value or safety of your investment.
Our inspection process covers:
Every inspection is completed with the same attention to detail we would want for our own homes.
A visual inspection is important, but modern technology allows us to investigate further.
That's why Snag List Steve uses professional inspection equipment to help identify issues that may otherwise remain hidden.
Our thermal imaging technology helps detect temperature variations that may indicate:
Thermal imaging allows us to see patterns that are not visible to the naked eye, providing a more complete assessment of the property.
Moisture problems can lead to mould growth, structural damage, and expensive repair costs.
Using professional moisture detection equipment, we can identify elevated moisture levels within building materials and investigate areas where damp issues may be developing.
This additional layer of inspection helps uncover concerns before they become major problems.
A property inspection report shouldn't leave you guessing.
Our reports are written in plain English and organised clearly, so you can quickly understand our findings.
Each report includes:
You'll receive practical information that helps you move forward with confidence and clarity.

I have 45 years experience in the building industry to date. I have worked with every trade in the business & have seen the way some so called “tradesmen” leave their work. Many of these “tradesmen” have very little regard for your new home! I have the knowledge of where to find the faults, what the most likely cause of the fault is & in a lot of cases can also repair the fault!

I have often been asked to re-snag a property from a house buyer who has already had a snag list undertaken by a different company. The reason being that when they talk to their neighbours the conversation inevitably comes round to discussing snag lists.

On a standard semi – detached 4 bedroom house the inspection can take anything from 3 – 5 hours depending on the size of the house & the quality of the finish. Be wary of any engineer that tells you it can be done in a shorter time as it is physically not possible to carry out a proper inspection in such a short time.
The minimum amount of faults I have found has been 53 and I considered it to be a very well built property. They were minor faults & mostly repetitive throughout the house. The maximum I have found to date has been 253!
The builders will normally give you an approximate date for the snag list to be carried out. That is the time to book your chosen engineer. Be mindful that these dates can & do change. It is always advisable to have a snag list carried out before you complete on the purchase of the property!
Yes, I will provide you with 3 sample lists with your quotation.
Yes you can. A lot of people do not get a snag list done at the time of purchase thinking that 1) the house is brand new. 2) the builders have their own engineers. 3) there is a guarantee in place & sure what could possibly be wrong with it? Take a look at the gallery section to see what does go wrong! It is only when the buyers have moved in that they start to notice things are not quite as they should be. Don’t worry as I can still produce a snag list for you to give to the builder which will be every bit as good as if you had it done before closing the purchase of your home.
