    They are checking that the house is suitable for two people, ie. not a boxroom and that there is minimum standards in the property such as running water.

    Yup, you've nothing to worry about - it's standard procedure.

    There are regulations that landlords have to adhere to, the Local Authority send out people to inspect the rented accomodation to ensure they are to a suitable standard. The Local Authority get paid by the Dept of the Environment for every inspection carried out.
