Pre-Purchase Reports: Discover the True Condition of Your Property and Save
Pre-purchase reports (Property Surveys) and detailed pre-purchase reports (Detailed Property Surveys) allow you to understand the real condition of the property you wish to buy or sell. These valuation methods are widely used across Europe and, in many countries, mandatory before purchasing.
Our specialized technicians inspect the property thoroughly to identify potential defects and provide technical solutions. The main difference between the two reports is that the detailed report includes measurements and an estimated budget for necessary repairs.
Conducting a Property Survey or pre-purchase technical report can provide exceptional price reductions. Depending on the property’s condition, the reduction on the investment can exceed 10,000% and, in some cases, multiply the initial investment several times.
- In a villa in Sotogrande, a €1,500 report enabled negotiation of a €500,000 reduction in the sale price
- In a property in Coín, a €290 report resulted in a €20,000 discount
Investing in a technical report before buying helps you make safe decisions, detect hidden problems, and negotiate the price with a solid foundation. At AA Arquitectos & Abogados, we recommend this service to facilitate sales and to maximize profitability and security.
