PCIT Prima Facie Review

Our Service

This service should be used when your Solicitor requires an indicative view of planning documents. It provides a desktop review of submitted queries and documentation in relation to Pre-Contract Investigation of Title (PCIT).

The “prima facie” (at first look) review is based on the Engineer’s first impressions of the documents submitted. The service is available to clients that have had a Pre-Purchase Structural Survey for the property carried out by Property Health Check.

Following the review of queries/documents, the Engineer will provide a written response with their findings.

What we need from you

Documents and queries should be emailed to Customer Care at the time of booking. The service will provide direction to you or your Solicitor regarding the next steps recommended to progress the conveyancing process.

To address your queries in the most efficient way we would encourage you/your solicitor to: –

  • Keep queries clear and concise
  • Submit all queries and documents at the same time

It is important to note that the Engineer’s prima facie review is not conclusive, but is based on his experience with the Irish planning and building regulations system. Further investigation may reveal information which could change the opinion given by the engineer in a prima facie review.

 

What documents are reviewed?

As our PCIT service is based on supplied documentation, we have outlined the documents that can be submitted for review. These can be submitted as email attachments or as a link to online documents.
