Can you renegotiate on the agreed property price after defects are found?

Your detailed Pre Purchase Structural 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 your property survey.

It doesn’t make sense to spend €250+ thousand 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 purchased?

Your House Survey will explain everything you need to know about your new home ensuring that you have all the information so that you can make a sound and informed decision, before buying. Don’t make your biggest purchase, your most costly mistake. Having a pre-purchase house survey carried out by our company as early as possible in the buying process can save you thousands of euro on issues which you may be able to have the seller or builder correct.

Our visual survey will evaluate the foundations, exterior walls, drainage, floors, stairs, interior walls and ceilings, roof, windows, doors, and ventilation.

Any questions are welcomed and will be answered based on over twenty years of actual pre-purchase house surveying 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 when using a qualified and specialist pre-purchase house surveyor.

Our thorough, easily understood and expertly prepared house survey reports are designed to help you avoid making a bad decision and exposing your family to the risk of buying a money pit.

Most house buyers believe it is a buyers market. Few people realize today’s market is full of poorly maintained and badly built houses 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 house buyers know having the best house survey report is one way to obtain a better bargaining position and to get the best over all deal.
