What we check

What does a property inspection cover?

A property inspection is a detailed visual survey that tells you the property's technical condition and the cost of any repairs it needs.

Layout, floor areas, and the plot
Confirming floor areas, matching them to the land registry, and checking the plot: the inspector confirms the actual floor area, compares the layout against the design documents, and checks boundaries, fencing, and access to the plot.
Foundations, load-bearing and non-load-bearing structures, roof
Spotting structural failures and cracks and checking the roof structure: the inspector looks for cracks in the masonry and assesses the building's stability, the condition of the timber roof structure, and wear on the roof covering.
Exterior and facade, waterproofing and thermal insulation
Checking heat loss and protection against moisture: the inspector looks for facade damage, hunts for thermal bridges, and measures masonry moisture to assess the waterproofing.
Internal systems - water, gas, electrics, heating
Assessing the building services: the inspector identifies the electrical wiring material (aluminium/copper) and checks the water, gas, and heating systems.
Interiors, surfaces, fixtures and fittings
Checking that floors and walls are level and that the plumbing fixtures work: the inspector measures how level the floors and walls are, examines the quality of the tiling, and tests that the taps and drains work.
Entrance and interior doors and windows
Checking the properties and condition of frames and sashes: the inspector tests smooth opening without sticking, the quality of the seals, the condition of the insulating glazing, and that the hardware works.
Basements, garages, and common areas
Measuring moisture and the condition of the associated areas: in the basements the inspector looks for water ingress and mould, and in the garages and common areas checks floors, doors, and elevators.
Fire safety and hygiene conditions
Assessing ventilation and safety standards: the inspector checks for adequate ventilation (to prevent mould), for fire alarms, and for any presence of substances harmful to health.

Client experiences

What buyers say after the inspection

What buyers write after getting their report before signing the contract.

"It helps you decide with your head. It saved me from buying a beautiful house that was not in nearly as good a condition as it was presented."

Alžběta Trusinová

Older property · pre-purchase inspection

"He pointed out several things that we would most likely have missed at a normal viewing. His observations significantly shaped our decision and helped us avoid future costs."

Jaroslav Kopecký

Older property · pre-purchase inspection

"The day after my enquiry I was contacted and offered an appointment right away. Ing. Svoboda came prepared, having checked the land registry and historical maps. I would not buy an older house without an inspection like this."

Magdaléna Krupárová

Older property · detached house inspection before purchase

"We were afraid of buying an apartment with hidden defects that a layperson cannot detect. The report flagged a cracked ventilation pipe in the riser shaft, which the seller then had repaired."

Romana Vrabcova

Older property · pre-purchase inspection

"If someone is buying a property worth several million, an inspection for a few thousand is money well spent. In my case it was CZK 10,000 for the inspection versus CZK 10 million for the property."

Tomas

Older property · pre-purchase inspection

"Ms. Kolovratová was clearly very experienced and thorough during the viewing. She gave us a detailed report along with plenty of useful advice."

Zuzana Vinarcikova

Older property · pre-purchase inspection

"We do not speak Czech and were looking for English-speaking professionals. Both Eliška at reception and inspector Kamila were helpful and professional. Highly recommend."
