A building survey report provides a detailed description of the property and identifies visible structural defects. It also highlights any repairs that are needed to avoid deterioration of the structure and fabric of the building.
Builders Survey
As an alternative to engaging a chartered surveyor you may wish to use a builder to look over the property and provide a report. This can be arranged if required.
Electrical Surveys
It can be useful to have an electrician carry out a survey of the electrics both internally and the external supply. The surveying electrician can provide a report on age of internal wiring and whether or not it complies with current safety standards.
With regard to supply the report can provide some information on whether or not there is likely to be significant expense in either getting a supply to the property or upgrading it.
Electrical surveys cost around 100€ the price being dependent on distance to travel and the size of the property.
