Pre-Purchase Home Inspection
Technical visit before buying a house
Buying a house requires extra attention. Unlike an apartment, a house involves the roof, facades, walls, outdoor areas, drainage, annexes, garages, terraces, and greater maintenance responsibility.
House inspections before purchase help the buyer identify visible signs of technical risk before signing the promissory contract.
Comprador Protegido conducts visual inspections of houses, focusing on points that may represent problems, future costs, or the need for additional clarification.

Why should you inspect a house?
A house may have problems that are not evident during a quick visit.
Among the most common signs are:
- dampness on exterior walls;
- leaks from the roof;
- cracks in facades;
- problems with terraces;
- degradation of window frames;
- stains on ceilings;
- mould;
- poor ventilation;
- problems in basements or garages;
- degradation of walls;
- signs of poorly executed works;
- insufficient maintenance.
As house maintenance depends directly on the owner, any problem can become a future cost.
What can be observed?
During the visit, the following can be observed, when accessible:
- house interiors;
- walls, ceilings and floors;
- bathrooms and kitchens;
- window frames;
- ventilation;
- visible roof;
- facades;
- balconies and terraces;
- garages;
- basements;
- annexes;
- walls;
- outdoor areas;
- signs of poor drainage;
- general state of maintenance.
The inspection is visual and non-intrusive. No dismantling, openings or destructive tests are carried out.
Old or renovated houses
In old houses, there may be problems associated with the age of the construction, insufficient maintenance, old infiltrations, cracks or dampness.
In renovated houses, new finishes can hide previous problems. Therefore, it is important to evaluate visible signs before signing the promissory contract.
What do you receive?
After the visit, you will receive a technical report in PDF with photographs, observations and practical recommendations.
The report helps to understand the main visible signs and the points that should be clarified before purchase.
Service limits
The house inspection does not replace an in-depth structural expert assessment, bank appraisal, energy certification, legal analysis, licensing or laboratory tests.
It also does not guarantee the absence of hidden defects.
The objective is to reduce risk through visual technical observation.
