Buyer

• Even though the Home Inspection service offers significant benefits to all parties involved in a real estate transaction, we consider the buyer to be the one who stands to gain the most from it. Purchasing a residence is unquestionably the biggest investment the majority of people will ever go through in their lives. Consequently, it is important for the buyer to secure that investment by being informed on every possible parameter.

   

  What is a Home Inspection?

  Home Inspection is a non-destructive examination and evaluation of the condition of a real estate property and all of its systems, through the assistance of specialized and cutting edge equipment. It is carried out exclusively by experienced, specialized and certified personnel, and is considered indispensable before any transaction involving a home. It is an innovative service that our company is the first to introduce into Greek real estate, and provides considerable benefits and added value to all parties involved in a transaction of a real estate property.

  Why is a Home Inspection important?

  According to professional Real Estate statistics, the average buyer will check the house for about 30 minutes before submitting an offer. The potential buyer will mainly check whether a residence covers their housing needs and how it feels to them, and never delve into some very basic matters (e.g. heating) or other technical concerns. Our objective is to account for those matters and protect your investment from:

  • Malfunctioning and defective systems.
  • Systems that present a safety hazard for the future tenants.
  • Increased operational costs due to a low system efficiency.
  • Localized or more extensive repairs that a residence might need to become viable.

  We will also check and evaluate the construction’s overall quality. The potential buyer will be informed about all of the above and even more matters that will turn up during the inspection, so that they can be taken into account for the final purchase decision.

  What if a Home Inspection turns up problems?

  Realistically, every house, whether old or new, will have issues. What matters is the extent of those issues and how much dealing with them would cost.
