Buying a home in Ireland is one of the biggest financial commitments you’ll ever make. Before you sign contracts, it’s essential to carry out thorough due diligence on the property. This is where a Pre-Purchase Property Survey — also known as a structural survey, house survey, or engineer’s report — becomes invaluable.

At Approved Property Services, we provide professional, lender-approved pre-purchase surveys across Ireland, helping home buyers make informed decisions with confidence.

Why a Pre-Purchase Survey Is Essential

Once you are Sale Agreed, this is your opportunity to fully assess the condition of the property before committing to the purchase. A Pre-Purchase Structural Survey in Ireland can identify hidden defects, construction issues, compliance concerns, or boundary discrepancies that could affect the property’s value or your mortgage approval.

Our pre-purchase surveys are:

Carried out by an experienced team of qualified surveyors or engineers
Specifically designed for Irish residential properties
Accepted by all banks and mortgage lenders in Ireland

Digital Survey Reporting for Accuracy & Consistency

At Approved Property Services, all pre-purchase surveys are completed using a structured digital inspection and reporting system. This ensures every survey follows a consistent methodology, with no critical elements overlooked during the inspection.

Our surveyors record findings digitally on site, supported by:

High-quality photographs
Clear condition ratings
Automated cross-checks and structured reporting

This digital process improves accuracy, thoroughness, and report clarity, while reducing the risk of human error or inconsistencies. The result is a clear, comprehensive, and lender-ready pre-purchase survey report you can rely on when making one of life’s biggest decisions.

To complete a boundary check, we simply require the Folio Map / Land Registry Map prior to the inspection. This provides your solicitor with the confirmation they need before contracts are signed, helping to avoid delays later in the conveyancing process.
