what is a pre-purchase survey?
A pre purchase survey, sometimes called a structural survey or engineers report is what we specialise in. A pre purchase survey is an assesment of the condition of the property, from its structural integrity to the condition of internal finishes and building services. Our in depth surveys cover everything you need to know about your new home. We conduct our surveys to the guidelines set out by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) who offer up diffrent levels of surveys which you can review here on the SCSI website. A type 2 survey is generally appropriate for most houses however if you are buying an older, period property or a run down house whcih requires significant work then a Type 3 survey would be recommended.

Ruoxi Dong2025-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If google allows, I would give 7 out of 5 stars. I was very lucky to have Ciaran McSweeny conducting the pre-purchase survey for me. I was onsite with him because I wanted to take some measurements and ask him some renovation related questions. The service Mr McSweeny provided was way more than I expected. He is not only a qualified surveyor but also an architect. The inspection was very thorough and he explained it to me in great details (loading bearing wall & joist, how the gas and electricity runs and the potential solution to achieve what I wanted in terms of the draft floor plan I had etc.). He is one of the most patient person I have met and I really appreciate the amazing service he provided. Super highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a pre-purchase survey. Cant wait to see the final report! Ken Sheehan2025-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yes, we received a very detailed report. Ciaran , the surveyor called me also to clarify some of the different findings. He was very friendly and in no rush to get off the phone, so full marks to be fair Feithín Ó Fátharta2025-05-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service.
