Property Inspectors

FAQ

At iSurv, we are leading property inspectors. We charge a fixed fee for surveys, the cost of which will depend on the size and location of the property – please contact us for a quotation. Prices start from €615 incl. VAT for apartments and €738 for houses in Dublin. For larger properties and other locations please get in touch. Each property is quoted based on location, size and complexity of the property.

All our surveys are fully compliant with the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) guidelines and designed to give you a highly comprehensive overview of the property.

Your detailed survey report will include a thorough assessment of:

  • The Structure: Foundation, walls, and overall structural integrity.

  • The External Envelope: Roof, chimneys, guttering, windows, and doors.

  • The Building Fabric: Internal walls, floors, ceilings, and joinery.

  • Core Services: A general condition check of the plumbing, heating, and electrical layouts (please note: this is a visual inspection rather than extensive technical testing).

Once you complete your booking with iSurv we take care of everything else. iSurv will appoint the next available surveyor in your area from our expert panel. They will then contact the estate agent to arrange access. Once access has been arranged you will be notified via email. Your appointed surveyor will then inspect the property and within 7 business of making the booking and will issue the report to you via email in PDF format.

If you have already booked your survey with iSurv then your allocated surveyor will be able to assist with any queries you may have. If you have a general query then please get in touch with our office info@isurv.ie.

Our surveyors are happy to discuss the finding of the survey with you over the phone or on-site after they have completed their survey. We are here to help when you need us throughout the home-buying process.

Excellent service from iSurv. Niall, our surveyor, went above and beyond. He took the time to walk us through the house in person and explained everything clearly, from the bigger issues to the small details we'd never have spotted ourselves. We came away with a much better understanding of the property and real confidence in our decision. Highly recommend iSurv, and Niall in particular, to anyone buying a home.

iSurv were fantastic from start to finish. We dealt with Tom initial in discussing the survey and requirements; he was friendly and very knowledgable which really helped put us at ease. For the actual survey, Ciaran was brilliant. The survey is incredibly thorough, he clearly put a lot of time and effort into covering all relevant elements of the property and made sure we had a clear view of the issues identified. He was extraordinarily responsive and helpful when we had a few follow up queries - could not recommend iSurv and Tom & Ciaran enough!

Really good experience. Helped us dodge a bullet in a house purchase. Extremely thorough reports explained in an easy to understand format with simple steps to carry out post purchase to correct the small stuff and the confidence to negotiate on the bigger stuff!

iSurv have done two surveys for me, and both times have been excellent. Their surveys are detailed and they have a quick turn around, and are happy to answer any questions. I found them great as a first time buyer and would recommend to a friend!
