WeSnag offers a professional snag list service prior to purchase of your new house or apartment.  We cover all areas of Gorey and Courtown.
Our Snag List in Gorey is a visual inspection of the construction and services of your newly built property in sufficient detail to allow our qualified Building Surveyor to compile a list of shortcomings, defects and irregularities with the built property.   A Snag List is issued by WeSnag to your Gorey based property developer detailing a list of snagging items, which they will need to attend to prior to the finalisation of Contracts. 

The Snag List is issued in a PDF format which includes pictures.  WeSnag find that our average Snag List of a 3-bed semi-detached home within Gorey will expect to find between 50 to 150 individual snag items.  The Snag List inspection takes an average of two hours depending on the size of the property and is issued to you within 48 hours after the inspection. 

Upon request, WeSNag can revisit your property in Gorey to carry out a follow up inspection to ensure that the Snag List is fully carried out.

Professional Snagging Company  

Our Professional Snag Lists produced by WeSnag are only compiled by a Registered Building Surveyor affiliated with the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI).  Our membership with the SCSI is recognition of our professional competence. 

By using a registered Building Surveyor, you can be satisfied that you are not engaging the services of a non-qualified or bogus firm claiming to have professional competence in building pathology.  Please look out for the SCSI Logo and check that they are Registered with the SCSI prior to their engagement.  

WeSnag offer over twenty years of experience with Snagging Surveys as our Registered Building Surveyor has inspected hundreds of properties over the years.  WeSnag aim to ensure that your move into your new home is coupled with the peace of mind that your newly build home has been checked by a highly qualified and independent snagging company.

What is typically found in a snag list for a new build in Gorey

WeSnag find that each house we snag in Gorey and Courtown are always different and will have its own individualised snags.  Many are cosmetic snags, such as scuff marks and impact dents to walls and doors.  Some are functional issues such as leaky pipes, internal doors not closing properly, or non-functioning extractor fans.  There are also times WeSnag uncover structural flaws.

While many of these snags are easy to repair, they can cost you a significant amount of money and time to address these items, especially if there are multiple issues.

WeSnag find the most common snags are:

• Faulty windows and doors installation
• Chipped/Scuffed or poorly executed paintwork
• Missing or unfinished elements, especially electrical sockets or light switches
• Missing grout or chipped tiles
• Leaking pipes or loose radiators
• Disconnected or missing ducts to fans or vents
• Poor plastering
• Missing or badly installed insulation
• Damage to external brickwork, pointing
• Clogged or blocked guttering and drainage
• Poor landscaping
• Incomplete Kitchen installations

Each of these common snags can incur repair costs if building owners don’t report them during the warranty period.  While some are cosmetic, others could have a large impact on a building’s safety or usability.  

Why Get a Snag List for Your New Build House in Gorey?

WeSnag fully recognises that buying a new home in Gorey may well be the biggest investment you will ever make.  You should be fully sure that everything has been constructed correctly and built to all required standards in order to protect your investment, however WeSnag often find that newly built homes in the Wexford area are not perfect, not even those that are constructed by reputable developers or builders.

WeSnag often find that it is much more difficult to have outstanding items addressed once you have taken ownership of your new home.

Suffice to say, even if an in-house developer-appointed inspector checks the property, it is still best if you have an independent contractor such as WeSnag, to draw up a Snag List.  Should you engage WeSnag, you can be certain that you are hiring an independent company that specialises in new home snagging in the Wexford area and you can rest assured that we are going to put your interests first.
