Pre-purchase inspection
A complete assessment of the property before you buy — a full, point-by-point picture of its condition.
Independent home inspections
Know the real condition of the house before you buy
Buying property in Portugal can hide costly surprises: damp, mould, water under the floor, old electrical wiring. We run an independent inspection and give you a clear report — in English or Portuguese.
Why trust us
Fully independent
We don't sell houses or work for estate agents. We work only for you, the buyer.
Clear, photo-backed report
You get a report with photos, priorities and estimates — no impenetrable technical jargon.
We know Portuguese houses
Decades of building and inspection experience. We know where the problems tend to hide.
What we inspect
From structure to plumbing, we can cover the things that cost the most to fix — depending on what you need.
Structural inspection
Foundations, walls, roof and signs of movement. We flag issues that compromise safety.
Damp & mould
Detection of damp, leaks and mould — including water under the floor, common in older homes.
Electrical systems
Consumer unit, wiring and overall electrical safety. Old wiring is a frequent and costly risk.
Plumbing & water
Pipework, pressure, drainage and signs of leaks. Where water goes, problems follow.
Photo-backed report
A detailed report with photographs, priorities and repair estimates. In English or Portuguese.
Transparent pricing
No hidden costs. You know what you pay before you book.
Every property is different, so every inspection as well. Your price depends on two things — the size of the property and how deep the inspection needs to go. Rather than a one-size-fits-all figure, we give you a clear, fixed price upfront. Tell us about the property and your needs and we'll send a quote within 48 hours.

Area in m², number of rooms and floors — a studio and a four-bedroom villa take very different amounts of time.
Depth of the inspection
From a standard pre-purchase check to a deeper structural, damp or electrical assessment — depending on what the property needs.
