About
Our Mission & Core Values
At Property Boundaries Ireland, we have two main goals as chartered surveyors:
- To ensure that all our clients are adequately informed of the concepts around property boundaries and land registration as applied in Ireland
- To deliver the highest level of customer service to satisfy our clients
We understand that property disputes come with complications, and we have unrivalled expertise in this niche sector of property boundary surveying and law. We cover everything from ground truth surveys to expert witnesses in court to give our clients the best understanding of their property boundary queries.
At PBI, we communicate with our clients through every part of the process and explain our methods clearly and concisely. However, we also understand there is a human side to the disputes our clients face that goes beyond property boundaries alone.
Property boundaries cause arguments between neighbours, friends, and family. While boundaries may be set out early on during a property build, over time, markings and understandings that separate properties can wear away or become altered.
Without the right tools, property disputes can continue for months or even years, causing problems in personal relationships. We offer mediation between all parties to help resolve any property boundary issues with compassion and civility.
All of our work is entirely unbiased, and we only work with clients who share our core values. By offering the highest level of support and expertise, we ensure lasting results. We are renowned for our quality of service, and we will always put you first.
We also work to further the property boundaries sector as a whole. As an industry leader, our founder has published numerous papers on new methodologies and systems for mapping boundaries.
Property Boundaries Ireland is working to ensure registered boundaries in land registry correspond better to the physical boundaries on the ground. We work closely with the Property Registration Authority and provide them with all the information we collect. By developing and adopting standards and modernising outdated methodologies our research provides essential guidance to the sector.
Property Boundary Ireland’s chartered surveyors are proud to advise you on any boundary issue or dispute you might face.
