Pre-Purchase Property Inspection in Marbella & Costa del Sol

Find problems before you buy.

A property can look excellent during a viewing and still contain defects or functional issues that are not immediately obvious. An independent inspection gives you a documented picture of accessible conditions before you make one of your biggest financial decisions.

Service fit

Who it is for

International and local buyers asking what problems a resale property might have before they commit their money. The inspection helps clarify observable defects, condition concerns, functional issues and areas that may need specialist investigation.

Timing

When to book

Before the purchase decision is finalised — ideally before signing a private purchase contract or while contractual timelines still allow the findings to be considered and discussed.

What we inspect

01
  • Accessible building fabric, walls, ceilings, floors and visible signs of cracking, movement or moisture

  • Accessible sockets, switches and electrical points with appropriate testers
  • Doors, windows and shutters for correct operation
  • Appliances included in the agreed scope
  • Air-conditioning controls and basic function where safe and accessible
  • Moisture readings and thermal imaging checks in areas of concern

What we document

Independent by design
