Why you should call us for your specialised surveys

Any survey is only as good as the detailed building survey report you receive following the property inspection. The cost of a building survey is determined by the extent of the survey. Having a very detailed building survey report can help you renegotiate with vendors and also allow you to pull out of the purchase if serious defects are found.

Building survey using infrared camera
Building survey using infrared camera

Additional specialised iInfrared survey utilizing an infrared camera will allow us to see defects that other building surveyors who do not use modern surveying equipment will miss. The infrared camera can detect what the human eye can not. In a recent house survey we found a well disguised leak at the chimney which the vendor had (likely) tried to conceal. Without this specialized piece of equipment most building surveyors would not have been able to identify this problem. Why, you may ask? The seller had painted over the moisture stains making this problem invisible to buyers and building surveyors alike. The infrared technology saved our client more than a thousand Euros in repair costs.

A separate specialist infrared camera (depending on requirements) will help your surveyor identify survey defects including:

  • Roof Leaks
  • Missing Insulation
  • Plumbing Problems
  • Heating Issues
  • Damp and Condensation
  • Improper Fitted Insulation
  • Draughty Windows and Doors

Property Health Check can provide home buyers with thorough specialist surveys using the power of infrared technology, depending on individual requirements..

Customer Reviews

“We had Peter conduct a survey on a 3 bed semi- detached 1950s house in Dundrum. Having obtained 3 quotes, we chose Peter and Stella because we got the feeling from speaking to them that we would get a professional job with a personal touch. We were not disappointed. Stella was very friendly and happy to give advice and answer questions”.

“His written report was very comprehensive. In the weeks following the survey, I phoned Peter on 3 separate occasions with questions. He was more than happy to chat on the phone until my questions were answered. We really felt like Peter and Stella took pride in their work and that they treated the survey as if it was for their own home. We would highly recommend Property Health Check as an experienced and professional team.”

Jerry & Claire, Dundrum, D14

“Thank you very much for your detailed report (our solicitor said it was the best one he has ever seen). We have addressed the items you mentioned with the vendor.
I would have no problems recommending you to anybody I know.”

B Hussey

“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 Laffer

“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.”
