To Find out exactly why their are differences between the Cost of Property Surveys, CLICK HERE.
The Cost of a Property Survey is one of a number of important things you should consider before engaging any property surveyor to carry out a pre-purchase property survey on your behalf.
Any smart purchaser would not rely on the estate agent sales brochure before deciding what property to purchase. A purchaser would first want to see the property before placing a deposit on the property. The exact same applies when comparing between building surveyors and understanding the cost of property surveys, (like all things in life you get what you pay for, low price property surveys are normally limited in detail).
By reading a sample property survey report you will be in a better position to understand to what extent the property surveyor will be inspecting your property.
You should not leave your pre purchase property survey to chance and expect that the price of a property survey has no bearing on the extent of the survey to be carried out. There are significant and major differences between pre-purchase property surveys and you will pay for what you get.
Only after reviewing samples of pre-purchase property survey’s you will find that some property surveys will not cover what you had expected. A limited property survey may prove very costly to you in the long term. It is also common that sample low cost property survey reports will not be made available to you so you can compare between our detailed property surveys and low cost ones. Normally most house buyers only get to see the property survey report after it is carried out, and end up disappointed because of the lack of detail in the report.
Property Health Check has in excess of twenty years experience carrying out pre purchase property surveys. Our experience shows that the highest or lowest price or cost of property surveys does not indicate the detail of the property survey to be carried out. The only sure way is to request a sample survey report and inspect previous customer reviews from past satisfied clients before you engage any professional to survey your future home. Check out our video on selecting a pre purchase property surveyor.
It is also common that the restrictions under the terms and conditions in some pre-purchase property survey reports is very limiting. You should read and understand the terms and condition of the survey report before committing to any building surveyor.
Also when selecting your building surveyor, it is important that you make the time available and attend the actually survey. This allows you to discuss any defects or other issues about the property, for example, removing walls between rooms, possible settlement, wood-rot or possible future attic conversions with the building surveyor.
Please view our sample property survey for more information.
Property Health Check only carries out detailed pre-purchase property survey reports utilizing the technology of infrared camera’s, damp testers, etc, and not limited walk through surveys. You will find our property survey costs are very competitive.

Hi PHC/Peter,
Feedback is positive; it was an efficient, no-fuss service, and if anyone we know is buying in Dublin we will recommend you. I appreciated Peter’s willingness to talk with me informally and at length about the properties in addition to providing the detailed written reports. Thanks, Peter, and Stella.
M. Lucey, Marine, Dublin 3. Property Survey
Hi Peter, I would be happy to recommend Property Health Check to friends and family. I was very satisfied with the service. I feel you went out of your way to accommodate me by walking me around the house (which I subsequently bought) and explaining everything to me in layman’s terms. The survey itself was also thorough and accurate. If anything, I thought you over-delivered in what you promised in the service. And all for a very competitive price – excellent value!Thanks for everything,Morgan

Hi Peter
We would most certainly recommend your services to anyone thinking of buying.
We were very happy with the service you provided, the call you placed directly after you completed the survey, the quick turn around of the report and the professionalism that you conducted throughout the whole process. We were confident in progressing with the buying of our new home, down to the extensive survey your carried out.
If we are ever buying again in the future you will be the surveyor we will rely upon (hopefully not too soon though – just moving in this week)
Kindest regards

M Mc Kenna, Harolds Cross Rd, D6. Property Survey
“May I take this opportunity to commend the high quality of the survey and indeed the speed and professionalism of its presentation. As it transpires, we did not attend the auction and believe that your survey saved us from the very scenario we wished to avoid. We were prepared to pay a premium price for a house in turn key condition. Your survey indicated that particular house was merely a cosmetic masterpiece”
