Pre-purchase inspection

A Pre-purchase inspection is a visual observation on all systems and components of a property that are visible and readily accessible. We usually use some detecting instruments to help us better realize the possible defects that may be hidden in the building. This type of inspection is non-exhaustive, meaning that we do not open or disassemble any component or system of the property to determine the hidden defects. A complete and comprehensive report with related pictures is provided following the inspection. The goal of this inspection is getting the client to know the general condition, maintenance and defects of the property that were observed at the time of inspection. This type of inspection is not intended for any kind of evaluation or purchasing recommendation on the property.
