"Would highly recommend Mark at Mcgrath & Co Surveyors. Very professional, personable and helpful. Very thorough survey and to a very high standard."

Erik K. - Longford

"Excellent service from Mark and McGrath & Co Surveyors. Mark was very fast and responsive throughout the process, and I received the full report within just 2 days. He completed the survey before a few other companies had even reached the quotation stage, which was very impressive.

They also used a drone to inspect the roof and chimney thoroughly, which gave me extra confidence in the survey and showed great attention to detail.

Overall, a highly professional and efficient service. I would definitely recommend McGrath & Co Surveyors to anyone needing a house survey."

Muhammad H. - Leitrim

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers

A Pre-purchase Survey is ideal for most modern or traditionally built homes in reasonable condition. It provides a clear overview of the property’s general condition, highlights visible defects, and identifies issues you should consider before committing to the purchase.

A Advanced Property Survey offers the highest level of detail. It is recommended for older homes, larger or more complex properties, or houses that have been significantly extended or altered. It provides a deeper analysis of defects, potential risks, and likely implications.

If you’re unsure which level is right for you, I’ll guide you based on the construction type, age of the property, and your specific concerns.

Your report will be delivered within 3–5 working days of the inspection, as outlined in my Terms of Engagement.

If you need it sooner, an optional 24–48 hour turnaround is available for an additional fee. Just let me know when booking and I’ll do my best to prioritise your inspection.
 
Yes — even new homes can have defects, unfinished work, or issues that should be addressed before you take possession. A snagging survey gives you a clear list of items for the builder to put right, ensuring your home is handed over in the standard you expect.
 

Yes — absolutely. Every survey includes a brief follow-up call just after the inspection to let you know how it went, followed by another call after you have read the survey report, to talk through the key findings in plain English. You’re never left trying to decipher a report on your own.

I’m here to explain what matters most and answer any questions you have..  

Both.
I inspect:

  • apartments

  • terraced, semi-detached and detached homes

  • bungalows

  • new builds and older properties

Each survey is tailored to the property type and its construction.

I cover the wider North West and West region, including:
Sligo, Leitrim, Roscommon, Mayo, Donegal and Longford.

If you’re unsure whether your location falls within the catchment, just ask — I’m always happy to confirm.

It’s a pre-sale survey that highlights issues before you list your property, helping you avoid last-minute surprises during the buyer’s survey.  It builds trust with buyers, speeds up negotiations, reduces fall-through risk, and allows you to deal with issues upfront.
