Pre-purchase inspections are not standard and each professional will offer their own level of service, with different levels of advice and detail in their reports. All professionals on propertysmart.ie use a common set of categories and descriptions when classifying their services to help you better understand any differences. Below are the main headings that we use to help you pick the right option for you and your budget.

  • Service Offered, i.e. how each professional describes their overall service
  • Type of Inspections,i.e. how detailed is the inspection itself
  • Type of Report provided,i.e. what level of detail you can expect in your report
  • When the survey type is typically used,i.e. what type of property is the report generally used for
