Pre-Purchase Property Inspections

An independent technical look at a property before you commit to buying in Spain.

Building surveys before purchase are not routine in Spain, and fresh paint can hide a lot. An independent pre-purchase inspection gives you a practical, technical view of the visible condition of the property, with a particular focus on moisture and water infiltration, so you can negotiate or decide with better information.

Important limitations

This is an independent technical inspection of visible and accessible elements. It is not a structural certification, a legal check of the property or a regulated building survey, and it does not replace advice from your lawyer or other professionals.

What you can expect

  • Independent observations, not influenced by the sale
  • A focus on moisture, water and maintenance risks
  • Practical recommendations to support your decision

Frequently asked questions

Are you connected to estate agents?

No. We work for the person who instructs us and have no interest in whether a sale goes ahead.

Can you inspect before I fly over?

Yes. If access is arranged with the seller or agent, we can inspect and go through the findings with you remotely.

Do you check legal or planning status?

No. Legal, registry and planning matters should be checked by your lawyer.
