    Could anyone recommend someone to do a snag-list?:rolleyes:
    I've been getting quotes in the €400 region, but friends have said it can be as low as €200. I don't want to pay loads for this.
    Thanks:D

    I remember my dad did his own snagging. I don't get why you would pay someone else to do it.

    a lot of snag lists are common sense , doors not closing ,patchy paint work,worktop and bath not sealed properly, check all taps etc have good pressure
    if you know anyone involved in the building trade eg carpenter they could easily do it
    most builders give you a month or two grace as some faults might not show up till the house is lived in. doors may expand , heating system wont be tried till your in , stuff like that
    ask foreman how much grace you have when you move in

    Best off to get a tradesman that you know and trust tbh. Much cheaper and will do as good if not a better job.

    Where is the house being built?

    Check the SVP, rodding points, soffit vents, attic insulation etc, etc etc.

    More to it than paint work and doors.

    I did one last year where the extractor fan in the downstairs toilet wasn't extracting, it was blowing air in. :D

    was talking to himself who works in th building trade and he said the most you would pay for a snag list is 200, and a good architect should do it for that price

    hope that helps:)

    if you know anyone that works in the housing department in the council, im sure they'd do it for about 200, and they REALLY REALLY know how to spot the snags, ****ers lol
