Just wondering how many people would actually get one of these done when buying a 2nd hand house?
I am about to sign off on a 10yr old house. It has had the Valuation Report done ok for the bank, but I was wondering if it would be worthwhile for piece of mind to get a separate structural/architects survey done?
I was chatting to an architect and they basically said if its standing 10yrs now, and looks ok with no cracks anywhere in the house or outside (it hasn't any) then it should be grand.
Thoughts?
What type of 'engineer' should I search for in the Golden Pages?
Theres your answer. Its your choice whether you do or not. A solicitor will advise you to have one - but you make your own mind up. And if the house is fine, that's grand. And if you have structural issues in the future, which would have been obvious from inspection, you can just take it on the chin and empty out your wallet. Caveat emptor and all that.

Just curious as to how many people who bought 2nd hand houses have paid to have one carried out.
I'm guessing the figure would be quite low.
The engineer will have professional indemnity insurance, which you can claim against if he misses a defect that should have been apparent.
