Property Inspections in Lisbon
Technical visit before buying property in Lisbon
Buying property in Lisbon can be an excellent decision, but it also requires care. The city has many old buildings, renovated apartments, units in buildings with varying maintenance histories, and properties where signs of risk are not always evident during a commercial visit.
Comprador Protegido conducts technical property inspections in Lisbon for buyers who want to assess visible signs of risk before signing the Promissory Contract of Purchase and Sale (CPCV).
The visit is conducted by a Civil Engineer and is visual, independent, and geared towards the buyer's decision.

Why conduct an inspection in Lisbon?
In Lisbon, it is common to find properties with:
- dampness;
- infiltrations;
- cracks;
- ventilation problems;
- old window frames;
- recent renovations;
- bathroom problems;
- facade degradation;
- common areas with irregular maintenance;
- signs of old or poorly executed works.
Many properties are sold quickly, and buyers may feel pressured to decide fast. The inspection helps to curb this impulse and to look at the property with more discernment.
When should it be done?
The inspection should be done before the CPCV, whenever possible.
Before signing, the buyer can still request clarifications, negotiate, ask for condominium documents, or request corrections.
After the CPCV, the margin for decision may be smaller.
What is included?
The inspection may include visual observation of:
- unit or house;
- walls, ceilings, and floors;
- signs of dampness;
- cracks;
- infiltrations;
- bathrooms;
- kitchen;
- window frames;
- ventilation;
- balconies;
- common areas, when accessible;
- garage or storage room, if applicable.
After the visit, you will receive a technical report in PDF.
Who is it for?
