Snag Lists

Due to the abundance of new properties being constructed by building contractors throughout Ireland, we have noted a general decrease in the standards and finishes being provided by some of these contractors. It is vitally important that a house is checked prior to completion to ensure that the builder has finished the house to the required standard.

It should be noted that if the client accepts a dwelling house in its unfinished condition it can be very difficult to ensure the builder returns to finish these items after completion, the argument being that Contracts of Sale have been exchanged and they are under no obligation to complete any further work on the property. By producing a comprehensive list prior to completion the client can at least ensure that these items be addressed by the builder and that they receive a house finished to an adequate standard.
