Let's buy a house
Buying a house is one of the most important, costly and emotional steps we make and can have many pitfalls.
It is difficult to find a property that does not present cadastral or urban planning irregularities, about 2/3 of the properties have minor or major irregularities which can lead to delays, extra costs and sometimes even defaulting.
If it is an older property it is strongly recommended that a geometra carries out a full inspection prior to you committing to the purchase.
The geometra is qualified to inform you of all works required and act as project manager, enlisting and overseeing engineers, trades etc. to completion.
Property Survey
Before you commit to buying and signing any documents it is essential to call an expert and independent technician who can give you a detailed picture of the property, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses that may cost you time, money and stress.
The property survey concerns :
- Bearing structures (Walls, Floor & Roof)
- Waterproofing & Damp Issues
- Plants (Electric, Plumbing, Heating)
- Utilities (Gas, Water, Electricity & Sewers)
- Septic Tanks
- Insulation
- Walls & Floors
- Doors & Windows
- Pools
- Access
- Safety Hazards
