We offer expert Snaglist Surveys Ireland, pre-purchase inspections and advice to help you make informed decisions on your property investments.
Buying a new home should be exciting. After all, you've worked hard to get here. But before you accept the keys, it's important to know exactly what you're getting.
That's where our Snaglist Surveys Ireland comes in.
At Snag List Steve, we help homeowners across Limerick, County Limerick, County Tipperary, Cork, County Cork, Galway, County Galway, County Kerry, and County Waterford identify defects, unfinished work, and hidden issues before they become your responsibility.
Many buyers assume a brand-new home will be flawless. The reality is often very different. Even well-built properties can contain dozens, sometimes hundreds, of snags that need attention before handover.
Our job is simple: we find them so you don't have to.
A snaglist survey is a detailed inspection of a newly built home. We examine the property from top to bottom and identify defects, poor workmanship, incomplete finishes, and issues that may not be obvious during a standard viewing.
The purpose is to provide you with a clear report that can be presented to your builder for correction before you move in.
At Snag List Steve, we inspect all key areas of the property, including:
We look beyond cosmetic defects and pay attention to the details that others often miss.
Buying a property is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. You deserve confidence that everything has been completed to the standard promised.
We bring extensive construction knowledge and practical experience to every inspection. Our approach is thorough, independent, and focused entirely on protecting your interests.
When we carry out a snaglist survey, you'll receive:
We inspect every accessible area of the home and document defects clearly and professionally.
You won't receive confusing technical jargon. We explain issues clearly so you know exactly what needs attention.
We understand that property handovers often work to tight deadlines. That's why our reports are delivered promptly, helping you move forward quickly.
Our inspections are carried out solely for you. We provide honest findings and practical recommendations without influence from builders or developers.
In addition to snaglist surveys Ireland, we also offer Pre-Purchase Surveys for existing homes.
Before committing to a property purchase, it's important to understand the true condition of the building.
Our Pre-Purchase Surveys include a professional assessment of:
We carefully examine these key areas and highlight hidden issues that could affect your decision or future costs.

No matter where you're buying, we're here to help ensure your property meets the standards you expect.
When buying a new home, it's easy to focus on layouts, finishes, and move-in dates. But small defects can quickly become expensive headaches if they're missed during handover.
A professional snaglist survey gives you peace of mind. You'll know exactly what condition your property is in and have clear evidence of any issues that need attention.

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.
