Cost of Professional Snagger?

Hope75

We are considering bringing in a professional snagger to make sure that we don't miss anything but I have not idea what this would cost. What have other people paid for this service?

Thanks.

Hiya!

I used these to snag the house:
A1 Snagging Services,
11 Woodstown Abbey,
Knocklyon,
Dublin 16.
Ph: 01 493 3016 / 087 699 5898
Email: housesnags@hotmail.com

It cost €250 to snag the whole house. Thay had to call to the house twice as the Foreman didn't have the keys, but A1 didn't charge me extra for mileage or for the extra trip.:D

Hope it works out

If you are having no luck you could try the guy from www.allaboutbuildings.ie His price for a 2-bed townhouse is around €280 but it has probably gone up since!

Hey Hope,

we used Homesnag for ours, check out www.homesnag.ie

I have to say they were really good, a guy called Fintan did for us only last saturday. (not about you lastsaturday) !!

We had no idea of the cost etc either but they were recommended already on this Forum. Costs €250 for a 2-bed townhouse and they come out and do a re-check as well when the builder has finished. All included in the price. He just sent us the completed snag list this morning, and I can honestly say I wouldve missed half of it if I'd done it myself!!

Good Luck!

Thanks for the information! It seems so high but I'm sure it will save us money in the long run if they can catch things that we would never see. We are going to submit the snag for our 2 bed townhouse on thursday - hopefully it will be a short list and hopefully the builders are working next week so we can move into the house sooner rather than later!

If you want to save you should do this yourself....
It's very simple
I can get you a template that the snagger (who is just a regualr guy who folows the template) will use....

All of the checks are very obvious like plugging in a lamp in every socket - filling bath / sinks etc....

Get a pro. I've experience in the building trade but I admit that I did a sh!t job of snagging my own house and am sorry I didn't use a pro. Do both, i.e. bring the checklist referred to above and be there when the snagger is doing his/her! stuff.

Good Luck! Look through the froum and see what problems may be relevant.

hello folks,

I recently bought a house on the northside, well Ratoath, got a local architect to do the list. 1st class service, did 2 visits because he insisted on power and water being connected before doing the list. No extra charge for having to come back. And a nice guy too. total cost €175 for a 2 bed house...happy days. And he had the builder provide an extract in the kitchen because it didnt comply with some building regulation, saved me a few bob there...so he basically paid for himself.

His name is Eddie Peppard... EJP Architectural Services 0861656697 if anyones interested.
