    Can anyone recommend a structural engineer to do a pre purchase inspection in the city. My preferred engineer is unfortunately not currently available.

    Ian Sheehy did my house in 2019, an extensive 13/14 page report if I remember correctly.

    Details for him on Facebook(you don't need to be on Facebook to access it, his number is on it)

    What's a rough price these should cost?

    I paid 700 for mine from a gentleman called John Garrett in Patrickswell. We bought a three-bed semi built-in 1960 with an extension built-in 1987. He spent 7 hours on-site and was meticulous. He allowed me to stay onsite for the duration, pointing out things as he went so the report would make sense. He is disliked by sellers and EAs as he tanks a load of deals because he spots things others won't. A gentleman.


    When you are spending the guts of a quarter of a million, a few extra quid to save you a poor decision is nothing.

    It's a high fee. I bought a three bed terraced house two years ago and paid four hundred for the survey. I didn't want to get it done particularly but my solicitor persuaded me to. There was little in the report that I could not have ascertained with my own eyes. I felt it was money wasted. There you go.
