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.

The house survey report was incredibly detailed and provided valuable insights. It covered all aspects of the property, giving me a clear understanding of its condition. Communication throughout the process was excellent. Tom was readily available to answer my questions, even during evenings and weekends. This responsiveness was greatly appreciated and put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Tom and his team to anyone in need of a comprehensive and reliable property survey.

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.
