- The condition of the main building elements
- Identification of defects and potential issues

What is a Pre-Purchase Survey?
A pre-purchase survey is a detailed inspection of a property’s condition, carried out before contracts are signed.
It highlights any issues that may affect the property’s value, safety or long-term condition, including:
Structural concerns
Dampness and moisture issues
Roof and attic condition
Insulation and ventilation
General maintenance and repair requirements
The aim is simple – to give you a clear, unbiased understanding of the property before you move forward.
Why a Survey is Important in Roscommon & Longford
Properties across Roscommon and Longford often include a mix of rural homes, one-off builds and older properties, which can present different challenges compared to more urban areas.
From experience, this can lead to:
Dampness and ventilation issues
Roof defects or ageing materials
Insulation gaps or cold bridging
Drainage concerns, particularly in rural locations
These issues are not always obvious during a viewing but can become costly if missed.
