General:

Pay Online Today quotations are acceptable only when a quote is generated and submitted to our online system, to which a validity of 30 days applies. An instruction to proceed either by payment for Pay Online Today options or other Verbal or Written confirmation is deemed to be acceptance of the quotation and the terms and conditions outlined herein and GDPR Policy, and will be construed as an engagement for the quoted professional services on the date such confirmation was received (the "engagement date"). In default of any term not being stated, the quotation is valid for 30 days. All quotations are subject to normal inflation costs, for projects that are protracted beyond 6 Months duration from the engagement date.

The service of myPropertySurvey.ie will be undertaken within the timescales indicated on the myEngineer.ie or myPropertySurvey.ie website. A professional employee of The Company will be assigned to undertake the quoted project. This will involve the works stipulated on our website which describe the product and the nature of the work to be undertaken. Further examples of work may be cited on our Blog site, however these may not necessarily be applicable to your project. We will provide the necessary services required to undertake the work to complete our standard report, which may include the re-issuance of a survey report if it is for a property that was surveyed within the last 6 months, where the previous client has withdrawn and where no substantial change was likely to have been made to the property. All reports issued are for the benefit of the Client and their Solicitor only and can not be transferred, in whole or part, to any third party without written consent from us beforehand.

The Company are not liable for the following:

• Further examination of items that were uncovered by our report, or other specialist reporting that may be required to investigate a particular matter or defect.

• We do not undertake to prepare a Certificate/Opinion on Compliance/exemption of the property with Planning Permission or Building Regulations. This is a separate matter that should be provided by the Vendor. If such certificates have been determined to be required and are not forthcoming from the Vendor, The Company will provide a quotation for such certification and we reserve the right to qualify our opinion for any non-compliant matter or decline to offer such certification.

• We do not undertake to prepare a Statutory Declaration of Identity in relation to any mapping associated with the property. Such declarations should be provided by the Vendor. If this has been determined to be required and is not forthcoming from the Vendor, The Company will provide a quotation for such a declaration and we reserve the right to qualify such opinion or decline to offer such an opinion.

• We only examine what is visually obvious on the day of inspection. We are not liable for any problems arising from items that were not visually obvious on the day of inspection, were concealed, were inaccessible or had not manifested. The report contains a basis of assumptions for most sections (listed thereon) and these assumptions also limit our liability in the event that a defect is uncovered at a later stage.

• We are not responsible for the accuracy of monetary references in the report, and such references are based on generic assumptions for similar work and cannot account for other unforeseen items that may occur. These figures are just guideline figures for discussion purposes and do not represent an accurate BOQ estimate or other such type of estimate. The figures are for general discussion only.

• We are not bound to complete costing reports for lending agencies for incomplete properties.

• The report is offered as a professional insight into the condition of the property from a walkover survey. It is to be understood that defects may be present when purchasing a property, works may be required to be undertaken and there may be remedial works or snags present.

• The report prepared is valid for the duration it takes to complete the legal conveyance to purchase the property for a single client instance, provided that the property has not been altered in any way in the interim period.

• Any opinion regarding planning permission/exemption is just an opinion based on a common working knowledge of the planning system. The outcome of a subsequent application may vary and The Company has no liability in this regard.

• The Company will not engage with the Vendor or their agents from once the report is prepared, unless there is an agreement with the client prior to same.

• We are not liable for concealed defects that have been painted over, wallpapered over or altered / adjusted so as to deliberately conceal damage.

• It is expected that buildings are constructed to a standard building methodology such as the building regulations or acceptable standards for buildings that pre-date the building regulations i.e. the Mitchell series of building books. There is a basic assumption that buildings are constructed to these standard methods. However, deviations from such standards cannot be accounted for.

Snag Surveys:

• The Company are not retained to undertake re-inspections of the property from the initial quotation. Such re-inspections are quoted on the snag report and the client undertakes to pay for same in the event that a re-inspection is requested.

• The Company are not liable for any other works/inspection of works that are undertaken outside the property in common areas or public areas.

• Snag survey reports do not include planning searches, mapping declarations, opinions on compliance or other such work (Unless a pre-snag inspection report is requested as per the options on our website).

• The snag report is a list of obvious defects from a non-invasive walkover survey of the property.

• The purchaser will be reliant on the certification/opinions/declarations furnished with the property on purchase.

• The Company are not liable for any future defects that may present/manifest after the date of the report

• The Company are not liable for any structural defects, planning issues or other such manifestations that are outside the scope of a standard snag list.
