A Pre-purchase Survey is ideal for most modern or traditionally built homes in reasonable condition. It provides a clear overview of the property’s general condition, highlights visible defects, and identifies issues you should consider before committing to the purchase.
A Residential Property Condition Survey offers the highest level of detail. It is recommended for older homes, larger or more complex properties, or houses that have been significantly extended or altered. It provides a deeper analysis of defects, potential risks, and likely implications.
If you’re unsure which level is right for you, I’ll guide you based on the construction type, age of the property, and your specific concerns.
Your report will be delivered within 3–5 working days of the inspection, as outlined in my Terms of Engagement.
Yes — absolutely. Every survey includes a brief follow-up call just after the inspection to let you know how it went, followed by another call after you have read the survey report, to talk through the key findings in plain English. You’re never left trying to decipher a report on your own.
Both.
I inspect:
apartments
terraced, semi-detached and detached homes
bungalows
new builds and older properties
Each survey is tailored to the property type and its construction.
I cover the wider North West and West region, including:
Sligo, Leitrim, Roscommon, Mayo, Donegal and Longford.
If you’re unsure whether your location falls within the catchment, just ask — I’m always happy to confirm.
It’s a pre-sale survey that highlights issues before you list your property, helping you avoid last-minute surprises during the buyer’s survey. It builds trust with buyers, speeds up negotiations, reduces fall-through risk, and allows you to deal with issues upfront.
