Your detailed Pre-Purchase Building Survey Report can literally save you thousands of euro’s by renegotiating with the vendor or in some cases pulling out of the purchase when previously unknown serious defects come to light during our survey.
What sense does it make to spend €250+ thousands of euro’s on a house, only to move in and discover that you need about €25,358.65 worth of repairs. Wouldn’t it be better if you knew about these repairs and potential issues before you bought.
Your Building Surveyor will explain everything you need to know about your new home, ensuring that you have all necessary information to make a sound and informed decision, before buying. Don’t make your biggest purchase, your most costly mistake. Having a pre-purchase Building Survey carried out by our company as early as possible in the buying process could highlight issues that the builder or seller should correct before you purchase, thereby saving you thousands of euro’s.
We evaluate the foundations, structural walls, drainage, floors, stairs, interior walls and ceilings, attic timbers, roof coverings, windows, doors, and ventilation, and provide a cursory view of the electric, heating and plumbing.
Your questions are welcome and will be answered based on our wealth of knowledge and experience. As in all walks of life, building surveyors learn from experience. Surveying a home and communicating that information to a home buyer is best achieved by using a qualified and specialised pre-purchase building surveyor.
YOUR satisfaction with the building survey we perform are our ONLY concerns. Our goal is to give you all the information on the home that you are buying, be it good, bad or indifferent.
Your home WILL NOT be surveyed by a person who spends most of his day carrying out other important duties like formulating detailed structural calculations, completing fire safety certificates, completing planning permission applications and architectural drawings. Many companies carry out a building survey as an add-on to their main business. At Property Health Check Ltd we specialise in pre-purchase building surveys on a day to day basis.
Our surveyors have carried out thousands of surveys on homes, and from experience know exactly what is required and achievable for the client when carrying out a pre-purchase building survey.
Your detailed typed report along with annotated photographs taken during the inspection will be emailed to you in PDF format.
The building survey report will be emailed to you within 3 working days. We don’t make commitments to have the report emailed to you in the next 24 hours. It’s most important that the report you get is accurate and well written and not rushed out to you. You maybe living in your home for the next twenty years and a poorly written and rushed report may certainly have errors or omissions in it. It is important that clients read the full report and not just scan through the summary, you will get a far superior understanding about the house you are buying. When you finish reading the full building survey report you will have a full understanding about the main concerns and issues effecting the property.

Most home buyers believe it is a buyers market. Few people realise today’s market is full of poorly maintained and badly built homes constructed during the Celtic Tiger, many with deliberately concealed problems laying in wait for you and your family. Home sellers who are motivated to sell know they might have to make concessions in order to close the deal.
Today more than ever educated home buyers know having the best building survey is one way to obtain a better bargaining position and to get the best over all deal.

By hiring an experienced building surveyor our clients are better able to judge the strengths and weaknesses of the home in which they are under contract to buy and help avoid home buyer’s remorse. We inspect the structure, exterior, drainage, grounds and roof and provide a cursory overview of the plumbing, electric, heating, as can be seen in our sample building survey reports.
