Do you really know what you're buying? Let's talk property boundaries If you’re buying a country house in Ireland, you’ll almost certainly be buying an acre or several acres of land around that house.   Most buyers have no difficulty comprehending the size and extent of the house they are buying, but the extent of the land can be trickier to understand.   It’s the land part of your purchase that we’re talking about today.   I am thrilled to be joined by Sarah Sherlock, former Chair of the Society of Chartered Surveyors of Ireland Geomatics (Geomatics refers to the methods and technologies used to collect, distribute, store, analyze, process, and present geographic data.) Sarah has several years of experience spanning many sectors, involving many notable and high-value real estate transactions both in Ireland and the UK. Standards are a matter that Sarah considers very important. She currently sits on a number of standard-setting committees – making sure measurement is carefully considered– in Ireland, the UK, and Internationally. Sarah served as a member of the Irish Defence Forces for c. 17 years.   You can contact Sarah at: sarahmsherlock@protonmail.com   During our conversation today, Sarah mentions a “16 Prepurchase Boundary Questions” Guide, prepared by the SCSI ( Society for Chartered Surveyors Ireland).
