Buying a property without surprises: the on-site inspection that makes all the difference

The excitement of acquiring a new property can make us overlook a crucial step: visiting the site with an architect. This inspection is not just a formality—it’s a true safeguard.

A building may look charming in photos or on paper, but only a trained eye can detect:

• Hidden structural issues

• Water infiltration or dampness

• Poor-quality or non-compliant materials

• Unauthorized modifications

If ignored, these issues can turn into unexpected costs that heavily impact your overall project budget.

Often, the information provided by the seller is partial, fragmented, or even misleading.

Even notaries, while playing a key role, may overlook important details such as:

• Urban planning restrictions

• Land registry discrepancies

• Missing or unregulated permits

  
  

An architect not only assesses the condition of the property but can also:

• Verify the presence of building permits

• Check for ongoing or required regularizations

• Analyze the feasibility of future renovations

• Provide a realistic design vision based on concrete data

  
  

In short, involving an architect from the earliest stages allows you to make informed decisions, avoid risks, and plan with peace of mind.
