Developer handover inspection

A new build doesn't mean defect-free. An average new apartment in Prague has 20–40 defects and deficiencies at handover — from uneven walls and poorly adjusted windows to missing certificates.

We prepare an independent defects & deficiencies report that the developer must resolve before handover, or reflect in the purchase price. Without it, you accept the property “as is” — and pay for the repairs yourself.

What you get

• Inspector present at the handover with you
• Systematic check of all rooms, surfaces, installations, windows and doors
• Defect report — the document you hand to the developer
• Re-check of defect removal at repeated handover (optional)

Book us 1–3 days before the official developer handover.

Pre-purchase inspection of an older apartment or house

With an older property you're also buying its history — and that history is written in the walls. Water ingress, worn-out piping, structural cracks or a failing heating system won't show up on a viewing with the agent.

We assess the property's true condition, identify risks and future investments. You receive a report with repair-cost estimates — concrete numbers to negotiate the purchase price with.

What you get

• Property inspection by an engineer (possible without your presence)
• Assessment of the structural part, building services and wider context
• Photo documentation of identified defects
• Repair-cost estimate — your negotiation argument
• Verbal consultation of the findings

Ideal timing: after the reservation contract, before signing the purchase contract.

Pre-warranty-expiry inspection

The warranty on a new build usually runs 24–60 months from handover. Defects that appear during this period must be fixed by the developer at their cost — but only if you claim them in time.

Before the warranty expires, we systematically inspect the property and find the defects it covers. Don't invest in repairs the developer must pay for.

What you get

• Systematic inspection focused on typical warranty defects
• Defect list with photo documentation — an attachment for your claim
• Advice on how to file the claim

Order ideally 2–3 months before the warranty ends, leaving time to file the claim.
