A property inspection is recommended before purchasing an apartment or a house to identify hidden defects, technical risks, and unforeseen costs. Home Planning® conducts technical inspections for homes in Bucharest and Ilfov, providing a written technical report and observations documented with photographs.
Most homes seem fine at first glance. New finishes, good lighting, or careful staging can create the impression that the property has no issues.
In reality, the most costly defects are not visible:
- leaks appear after moving in
- plumbing issues are not evident during a viewing
- thermal bridges and heat loss are not visible to the naked eye
A real estate technical inspection is a non-invasive assessment conducted by a structural engineer prior to the purchase of a property (apartment or house).
The purpose is to identify hidden defects, non-conformities, and technical risks that could result in significant costs after the purchase.
The inspection typically takes between 1 and 2 hours and concludes with a detailed technical report delivered within 2–3 business days.
- Most defects are not visible
- Costs range from €5,000 to €25,000
- Independent technical report
- Analysis focused on actual risks
- Assessment conducted by civil engineers
A property inspection, also known as a pre-purchase technical inspection, is recommended whenever the purchase decision involves significant financial or technical risks. It helps to objectively assess the condition of the property and identify any visible problems before signing.
In a market where there are many options, what sets us apart is how the inspection is conducted.
The Home Planning Team offers:
- assessment conducted by a structural engineer
- Comprehensive technical inspection for apartments and houses

When you’re about to buy a home, every detail matters. A property inspection gives you control over your decision and reveals the reality behind the finishes and marketing materials.
It all starts simply: schedule the inspection online by choosing a convenient date before signing the papers. It’s a quick but essential step to avoid long-term risks.
On-site, a certified structural engineer thoroughly inspects the property—from the load-bearing structure and utilities to leaks, moisture, or construction defects that aren’t visible during a standard walkthrough. The inspection is comprehensive, objective, and conducted with professional equipment, without any invasive procedures.
After the inspection, you’ll receive a clear and easy-to-understand technical report within 2–3 business days. It includes all identified defects, the risk level, explanatory photos, and concrete recommendations for remediation. It’s a practical tool you can use when negotiating the price or to make an informed decision.
