Real Estate Portfolio

Before purchasing a ready-to-move-in property or taking possession of a property from a developer, it is important to check its actual technical condition. Even a new apartment, house, or villa may have defects that are difficult to spot during a routine inspection.

We help arrange a professional technical inspection of real estate in Cyprus and Greece, document any defects found, and provide the developer or seller with a list of necessary repairs.

Why a Technical Inspection of Real Estate Is Necessary

A technical inspection helps assess the property’s actual condition before finalizing the transaction or signing the acceptance certificate. This is especially important when purchasing a new construction, a renovated home, or a property on the secondary market.

Defects identified in a timely manner can be corrected by the seller or developer before the property is handed over. If the defects cannot be corrected immediately, the inspection results can be used during negotiations on the terms of the purchase.

What Is Checked During an Inspection

The scope of the inspection depends on the type, size, and condition of the property. During the inspection, a specialist can assess:

• the condition of the walls, floors, and ceilings;
• the quality of the finishing work;
• windows, doors, and hardware;
• electrical outlets and lighting;
• the water supply and sewer systems;
• plumbing fixtures;
• air conditioning, heating, and ventilation;
• presence of moisture, leaks, or signs of mold;
• balconies, terraces, the roof, and exterior structures;
• compliance of the actual condition with the agreed-upon specifications.

For private homes and villas, the condition of the lot, swimming pool, irrigation systems, gates, fences, and external utility networks may also be inspected.

Report on Defects and Shortcomings

Based on the inspection results, a structured list of identified defects is compiled. Whenever possible, each defect is accompanied by photographs, a description, and a recommendation for remediation.

This report helps the buyer gain an objective understanding of the property’s condition and not rely solely on verbal promises from the seller or the developer’s representative.

The document can be used to discuss the timeline for repair work, a follow-up inspection, or to agree on other terms for the transfer of the property.

Discussing Defects with the Developer

Once defects are identified, it is important to properly document them and report them to the responsible party. We help facilitate communication with the developer, seller, or management company.

We clarify the deadlines for rectifying defects, the responsible parties, and the procedure for a follow-up inspection. This allows you to monitor the fulfillment of agreements and reduces the risk that issues will be overlooked after the property is handed over.

Pre-Purchase and Pre-Acceptance Inspection

A pre-purchase technical inspection helps assess potential repair costs and factor them into negotiations. Inspecting a new construction project before acceptance allows defects to be documented before the final documents are signed.

If necessary, a follow-up inspection of the property can be arranged after repair work is completed.
