Ensure Your New Home is Perfect Before You Move In!

At Snag It, we understand that purchasing a new build home is one of the most significant investments of your life. Located in Dublin, we specialise in helping buyers like you identify and resolve any outstanding issues before the handover from the developer. Our expert snagging services ensure that your new property meets the highest standards, giving you peace of mind as you prepare to move in.

Ideally the snag should take place 3-4 weeks prior to your estimated sale closing to allow the developer time to rectify the snags. Once the sale closes you lose your leverage over the developer so it is critical to have them addressed prior to closing.
