Back in 2012, property inspection was a rarity in the Czech Republic. We were building engineers who occasionally helped family and friends take a look at an apartment or house before buying. When people kept writing to tell us how much it had helped them, we founded Nemoinspekt.

No form, no invoice, just "come on, I'll have a look." After we'd done it a few times, we saw two things. People with no background in construction were making decisions about seven-figure investments without a clear picture of what they were buying. And we kept hearing the same question: "do you know someone who does this regularly?" In the Czech Republic, the service barely existed at the time. In the United States, it had been a normal part of buying a property for decades. We agreed to try doing it systematically for anyone, not just for people we knew. We adopted the methodology from established American inspector associations and adapted it to Czech conditions. We based the look of the **property inspection report** on the reports produced in financial due diligence. We wanted a document a layperson could read, not just an engineer. We started as a team of four. Today Tomáš and I run Nemoinspekt between us, and we have more than thirty contracted inspectors across the whole country. Every inspection is carried out by a chartered building engineer or architect registered with the **Czech Chamber of Chartered Engineers and Technicians (ČKAIT)** and certified by the **Association of Property Inspectors (AIN)**. Every report is reviewed by a lead inspector before it goes out. That's a second set of eyes on every report. > "Every now and then, a client writes to us a few weeks later: thank you, in the end we didn't buy this property. We never expect that sentence, and it makes us happy every single time." *![Tomáš Zima](/_astro/tomas-zima.Dqvd-Fjj_ZSvjYI.webp) Tomáš Zima co-founder of Nemoinspekt* - ### We give people confidence in the biggest investment of their lives. Most of our clients buy a property once or twice in their lifetime. At that moment, they're deciding on the largest sum of money they'll ever spend. We're not the ones selling them the property, nor the ones financing it. We're the independent party that looks at the building's condition objectively and calls it what it is. - ### We protect our clients' money. On average, our property inspection report saves a client CZK 421,000. That saving comes either from negotiating money off the purchase price, or from walking away when repair costs go beyond what's reasonable. Our report is a negotiating tool, not just a list of problems. - ### We're reshaping the Czech real-estate market. In the Czech Republic, around 3% of buyers have a property inspected before purchase. In the United States, it's 80%. We believe that gap will gradually close and that independent inspection will become standard in every fair sale. Every client we serve moves us in that direction. 3% inspection penetration in the Czech Republic Of roughly 80,000 residential properties sold each year, only about 2,000 to 3,000 are inspected. 80% inspection penetration in the US Banks usually require an inspection before releasing a mortgage. That's 4 in 5 buyers. 26× gap between the Czech Republic and the US The gap in how often buyers have the building's condition checked by an independent expert. The Czech Republic may never catch up with the 80% seen in the US. But if inspection penetration reached even 30%, the category would grow tenfold here. Every apartment and house inspected brings us one small step closer to the day when the question "should I have the property I'm buying checked?" answers itself automatically in the Czech Republic. 10,000+ inspections carried out since 2012 30+ ČKAIT inspectors and architects 14 regions nationwide coverage of the Czech Republic 4.8 ★ 240+ reviews on Google and Seznam 1000+ inspections per year CZK 5M liability insurance - Czech Television The Události ČT news broadcast, on warranty claims for construction work.
