Are you considering buying or selling a property? One of the fundamental steps in this process is hiring a professional home inspection service.
A home inspection is a professional assessment of the documentary, maintenance, safety, and conservation status of the property being sold, conducted by an architectural inspector to ensure the buyer receives a reliable assessment of its condition.
The architectural inspector is responsible for examining a building’s construction and structural aspects, as well as the systems installed in it, such as heating, plumbing, and electrical installations. Their experience allows them to identify potential defects or signs of them, in order to correct them and prevent future construction problems. They also assess whether the property’s maintenance has been adequate or, on the contrary, whether a lack of it is causing or could cause damage in the short or medium term.
Likewise, the building’s physical characteristics are verified to match the specifications in its documents, in terms of area, description, and the elements that comprise it. Errors in the documentation can lead to problematic situations for the new owner, such as disputes with insurance companies, the tax authorities, or other entities and organizations.
Although the law provides guarantees for resale homes, renovations, and new construction, buyers often don’t clearly understand the real characteristics of what they are purchasing.
Furthermore, in our home inspection work, we determine the actual condition of the property using techniques that rely on the latest technology and the experience of our inspectors, along with the technical analysis of our team. This allows us to identify major defects and previous modifications, and estimate the cost of repairs based on the property’s age and current regulations. We also produce a detailed technical and photographic report that helps the buyer make informed decisions.
Our included Virtual Tour service powered by Matterport technology allows tenants to access a detailed and immersive view of the home.
At MAB Architects, we perform more than 100 reviews a year, implementing the latest technologies in our services to provide the best service to our clients.
