If you are buying a second-hand home in Ballina, Co. Mayo or any area of Mayo, you have probably been asked by your Solicitor to get an Engineer to undertake a Structural Survey report. Our expert on properties in the Ballina area, Tommy Keane, advises that due to the well-documented experiences of some homeowners in the North-West of Ireland with issues related to Mica and Pyrite, an Engineering appraisal of your dwelling is a worthwhile investment at pre-purchase stage.
There is a plethora of options available to you, and deciding which company to use can be difficult. Each company offers their service at varying levels, so hiring the correct Engineer for YOU is a crucial decision.
Ideally, you would not hire an Engineer through a referral company. While these operators make booking easy and promise a rapid turnaround, it can be difficult to speak directly to the actual person who surveyed your property, let alone identify their qualifications or experience. Additionally, they might not provide a guaranteed level of Professional Indemnity Insurance to back up their report. The team at mypropertysurvey.ie are happy to take your call, to talk you through your report, to respond to queries raised by your solicitor and to assess responses you receive from your Vendor of foot of items raised by us.
Here at mypropertysurvey.ie, as part of the My Engineer Ltd. engineering company, we have all our own staff directly employed by us and based in our offices in Tuam, Co. Galway. Your report is never contracted out or outsourced in any way – you know the person you are hiring and your report is covered under our comprehensive Professional Indemnity Insurance. Mr. Dwayne Higgins owns and operates the company; he is an experienced Architectural Engineer in Galway having more than 27 years’ experience. He is fully registered and is a Member of Engineers Ireland.
Solicitors highly recommend our service to their own valued Clients, and previous Clients regularly refer their family and friends to mypropertysurvey.ie and our online booking system for property surveys that covers all of Ballina and surrounding areas including Ballycastle, Bonniconlon, Crossmolina, Foxford, Killala and Knockmore (and all areas in-between!).
My Engineer Ltd offices are based in Tuam, but with the construction of major road improvements like the N5 upgrade in Castlebar, it has made areas like Ballina, Bangor Erris and Charlestown very accessible to our team. We have undertaken numerous pre-purchase structural surveys and Engineers Reports in Ballina and are very familiar with the area and locality in terms of property and developments. There were many old and new housing estates constructed in Castlebar, and we have surveyed a number of those areas, including:
