Property inspections

It is a technical review carried out by a locally registered architect to assess the true condition of a property before purchase or handover. We analyse potential damage, construction defects and hidden problems that are not visible to the naked eye, so you know exactly what state the property is in.

A valuation is requested by the bank to determine the market value of the property. An inspection, on the other hand, is requested by you to find out its real condition. While a valuer analyses prices, we analyse the property in detail to identify potential problems.

We review more than 150 key elements of the property, including structure, installations (electrics, plumbing, HVAC, hot water), finishes (floors, joinery, windows, tiling) and aspects related to insulation and energy efficiency. The aim is to give you a complete and clear picture of the property's condition, including detailed photographs.

The inspection usually takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the size of the property. You will receive the full report within 24 to 48 hours, so you can make decisions without delay — because in the property market, time is of the essence.

Because many important problems are not visible to the naked eye. Damp, defective installations or even structural cracks can be hidden behind recent finishes. An inspection allows these problems to be identified before you make a decision.

Absolutely. If problems are identified, you will have an objective technical basis to negotiate the price or request repairs before completing the purchase. This can result in significant savings or help you avoid future surprises.

Yes. We operate entirely independently, with no ties whatsoever to estate agents, vendors or any other parties involved in the transaction. Our sole aim is to provide you with an objective technical assessment of the true condition of the property, so you can make decisions with complete confidence.

We use specific technical instruments including thermal cameras, a hygrometer, voltage tester, electrical protection tester, gas leak detector and sound level meter, combined with the expertise and experience of the architect. This allows us to identify hidden defects that would not be detected during a conventional viewing.

It is not required by law, but it is essential for your peace of mind. Most important problems are not detected during a standard viewing and can result in significant costs once the purchase has been completed. An inspection allows you to make the decision with real information and avoid surprises.

More than a cost, it is an investment: identifying damp or an electrical fault before buying can save you thousands of euros in future repairs. The price varies depending on the type and size of the property. Contact us for a quick, personalised, no-obligation quote.

We do not include financial estimates, as our focus is on providing a rigorous and independent technical diagnosis. With the report you will be able to request accurate quotes for each item of work required.

We specialise in the Costa del Sol, with experience across municipalities including Marbella, Estepona, Mijas, Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Málaga. We know the common pathologies of the area, which allows us to identify problems specific to the local environment.

It is not necessary. The report is clear, visual and easy to understand, so you will be able to fully assess the condition of the property even if you were not present during the visit.
