Prices Of Pre Purchase Surveys In Ireland

What Is a Pre-Purchase Structural Survey?

A Pre-Purchase Structural Survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property's physical condition before you buy. Also known as a house survey, engineer’s report, or building survey, it gives you a professional, independent assessment of the home’s structure, key systems, and potential issues — all before signing contracts.

At Survey Plus, our surveys are tailored for Irish home buyers, whether you're purchasing a second-hand home, apartment, or investment property. Our reports are fully compliant, clear, and accepted by all lenders, solicitors, and conveyancers in Ireland.

Why Get a Survey Before Buying?

Once you go Sale Agreed, it’s your only opportunity to properly investigate the condition of the property. A pre-purchase survey helps protect you from:

Structural issues (roof, walls, floors, foundations)
Damp, leaks, insulation problems, and poor ventilation
Non-compliant extensions or modifications
Undocumented boundary disputes or planning breaches
Unexpected repair costs post-purchase

This isn’t just a tick-box for your solicitor — it’s your chance to understand what you’re really buying, and avoid expensive surprises later.

What Our Survey Includes.

Our reports are written in clear, plain English with detailed notes and colour images. Every Survey Plus inspection includes:

Full structural inspection of accessible areas
Internal & external roof review
Windows, doors, plumbing (visible), electrics (visual check)
Heating system overview
Insulation, moisture, damp, and ventilation checks
Attic inspection (if accessible)
Review of extensions/conversions for compliance
Boundary & site layout review
Highlighting issues needing further specialist review

Each report is compiled by a qualified, insured, and experienced surveyor, and typically delivered within 3 working days of the inspection.
