New Build Inspection Cost Ireland: What You Should Expect

New build inspection cost in Ireland depends on your property's size, type and what's actually included in the report. Rather than publish one-size-fits-all numbers, we give every client a tailored quote — so you only pay for the inspection your specific home needs.

What Affects the Price

• Property size and layout — a 1-bed apartment takes less time on site than a 5-bed detached
• Property type — apartment, semi-detached, detached, duplex or custom build
• Number of bathrooms and ensuites — each adds inspection time
• Extras like thermal imaging or attic access — included on most SnagSafe inspections, but driven by what your property needs
• Travel — within our Dublin / Meath / Louth service area travel is included; further afield, a small mileage charge may apply

What Should Be Included

• On-site inspection of 2–5 hours
• Full interior, exterior and service checks
• Digital report within 24–48 hours
• Photographs of every defect
• Severity guidance per item
• Thermal imaging where useful (radiators, insulation gaps)

Watch For

An inspection priced significantly below the market for a given property size typically means one of three things: a rushed visit (1–2 hours on site for a 3- or 4-bed is too short), a generic templated report, or no photographs included. Any of those undermines the defect list's value when you bring it to the builder.

Regional Variation

SnagSafe covers Dublin, Meath, Louth and surrounding counties. Pricing is consistent within our service area; outside it, a small mileage charge may apply. See Dublin pricing detail for the most active local market.
