Snag List Inspection Pricing
Snag list inspection prices in Ireland typically vary depending on property size and type. At Emerald Snagging Services, we offer clear, competitive pricing for new builds, apartments and renovations, with no hidden costs.
Our snagging inspections are designed to provide a detailed report on your property, helping you identify defects before handover and ensuring your home is completed to the highest standard.

We cover Ireland nationwide, but additional travel fees may apply outside our normal service area due to the larger booking slot necessary, cost of travel and accommodation where applicable.
We offer a group discount when 3 or more houses on the same site are snagged on the same day.
Each property receives an individual discount, based on the number of houses.

"We were very happy with Emerald Services. From the very first step, when requesting a quote, to the snagging inspection itself, Cormac was nothing but helpful and a pleasure to deal with. He patiently answered our questions and provided useful advice throughout the process. During the inspection, he was very thorough and knowledgeable, which gave us great confidence that our home will be delivered in the best possible condition and without any unwanted surprises later on. The report was clear, detailed, and very comprehensive, making it easier for the builder to address the issues that were identified. Cormac was also very quick in delivering the report, which we really appreciated. Overall, we couldn’t be happier that we chose Emerald Services for our snagging. In the midst of all the emotions that come with buying a home, the snagging process was quick, efficient, and as easy as we could have hoped for."

FAQ - Pricing
What effects snagging pricing?
Our snag list pricing structure is based on the amount of bedrooms within the property, which generally signifies the property size. We do not base our pricing around square metreage/footage.
Is the socket testing included?
Socket testing is not included in our base package, but our snag list pricing reflects that. Some competitors include the socket testing as standard, but with an increased price compared to ours. We prefer to give our clients a fair base snag list package, with the option to add on our "Optional extras" if they feel the need.
How long is a snag list inspection?
Snag list inspections can range from 1.5 hours to 3-4 hours, depending on the presentation & condition of the property. At Emerald, we take our time, and will not rush your inspection. We take the same care we would expect in our own properties.
Do I get an invoice for my records?
Yes, we provide downloadable PDF quotes & invoices for our new build snag inspections. Invoices are received by the client after we perform the inspection/re-inspection service.

Disclaimer
The snag inspection and pre-purchase survey are limited to a visual, non-invasive inspection of the readily accessible areas of the property and are carried out solely for the benefit of the prospective purchaser. No opening up, dismantling, lifting of finishes, or other intrusive or destructive investigations are undertaken.
The inspection does not constitute a full building survey, structural survey, or certification of compliance with the Building Regulations. No commissioning, or certification of electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, fire safety, or other specialist systems is carried out. Such systems are assumed to have been installed, inspected, and certified by competent persons in accordance with the Building Regulations 1997–2023 and, where applicable, the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations (BCAR). No liability is accepted for defects arising from or relating to these systems.
While reasonable skill, care, and professional judgement are exercised during the inspection, no liability is accepted for defects, inclusive of those that are latent, concealed, inaccessible, or otherwise impossible to inspect at the time of the survey. No liability is accepted for defects that may arise after the inspection date. We accept no liability for any defects not identified during the inspection.
The snag inspection does not replace or supersede any statutory certification, Assigned Certifier duties, Certificates of Compliance on Completion, or warranties. Responsibility and liability for design, construction, compliance with building regulations, certification, and workmanship remain solely with the builder, developer, design team, and/or relevant certifying parties.
