How Much Does a Snagging Inspection Cost in Dublin?

Snagging inspection cost in Dublin depends on the size and type of your property, how long the on-site inspection takes, and what's actually included in the written report. Rather than quote a one-size-fits-all price here, we give every client a tailored quote based on their specific home — so you only pay for the inspection you need.

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

• Full room-by-room inspection (typically 2–5 hours on site)
• Digital report within 24–48 hours
• Photograph of every defect, with description
• Severity guidance per item
• External inspection of render, gutters, drainage and grounds
• Thermal imaging where useful (e.g. radiators, insulation gaps)

Watch for Underpriced Quotes

A snagging inspection priced significantly below the market typically means one of three things: the inspector is rushing (1–2 hours on site for a 4-bed is too short), the report is generic templated text, or no photographs are included. Any of those undermines the defect's evidential value with the builder.

Is It Worth It?

A single missed defect — a misaligned door, a sealant failure that becomes water damage two years in — can cost more to remedy later than the inspection itself. Most reports identify dozens of defects that the builder is then obliged to fix during the defects period, at no cost to you. The economics work in your favour every time.
