Property Inspection Portugal
Independent property inspection before buying in Portugal
Buying property in Portugal can be exciting, but it also involves risk. Before signing the CPCV, buyers should understand the visible technical condition of the property.
Comprador Protegido provides independent property inspections in Portugal for buyers who want technical support before committing to a purchase.
The inspection is visual, non-invasive and carried out by a Civil Engineer. It is designed to identify visible signs of risk such as damp, leaks, cracks, mould, poor ventilation, degraded windows, poor renovation work and maintenance issues.

Why request a property inspection in Portugal?
Many buyers visit a property for a short period of time and may not notice technical warning signs.
Some properties are recently painted or renovated, which can make visible issues harder to detect. Others may have signs of damp, leaks or poor maintenance that are not obvious to a non-technical buyer.
A property inspection helps buyers make a more informed decision before signing the CPCV.
What may be observed?
During the inspection, we may observe visible signs related to:
- damp and moisture;
- water leaks;
- cracks;
- mould;
- condensation;
- ventilation problems;
- windows and frames;
- bathrooms;
- kitchens;
- finishes;
- terraces or balconies;
- roof or façade issues, when visible;
- common areas, when applicable;
- general maintenance.
The inspection is visual and non-invasive.
Who is this service for?

- foreign buyers buying in Portugal;

Comprador Protegido works from the buyer’s perspective.
Before signing the CPCV
The inspection should ideally be done before signing the CPCV.
Before the CPCV, the buyer may still be able to ask questions, request clarification, negotiate or reconsider the purchase.
Technical information is most valuable before the commitment is made.
What does the report include?
After the visit, the buyer receives a PDF report with photographs, observations and practical recommendations.
The report is written to be clear and useful, helping the buyer understand visible risks and decide what to ask before moving forward.
What this service does not replace
This inspection does not replace legal due diligence, bank valuation, energy certification, structural assessment, licensing review, judicial expert report, destructive testing or laboratory analysis.
It does not guarantee the absence of hidden defects.
The purpose is to reduce risk, not to promise absolute certainty.
