The GetHouseSurvey.ie report covers a minimum of the requirements set up out in the SCSI Type 2 report, regardless of whether the survey is carried out by a Building Surveyor, Engineer or Architectural Technologist.

This is also sometimes referred to as a Structural Survey, a Pre-Purchase Survey, House Survey, Property Survey, Engineer's Report etc.

It is designed to give you a professional opinion on the condition of the property so that you can make an informed decision on whether or not to sign contracts and proceed with the purchase.

This is the most common survey type for people purchasing a second hand home.

A snag list is more appropriate for a new build. GetHouseSurvey.ie can provide an experienced and qualified surveyor to conduct snag / defect list on your property for €369 including VAT.

All surveyors are covered by PI Insurance with cover to €1,000,000.

A structural survey is not a guarantee that problems won’t develop after you move in. However, if you believe that a problem was already visible at the time of the survey and should have been mentioned in the report, your first step should be to call and meet with the engineer to clarify the situation. Misunderstandings are often resolved in this manner.

All surveyors we work with carry professional indemnity liability insurance. The minimum amount of insurance coverage should cover the cost of re-instating your house if the surveyor misses something that he should have reported on.
