If you want to know exactly what you will receive after the technical inspection of the property, you can consult a real sample report here (anonymized data). The report is designed to aid decision-making: it includes technical findings, photographs, prioritization of issues, and indicative recommendations.
1) General data and inspection conditions
- property type (apartment/house/villa)
- location (area) and visit dates
- access conditions (spaces visited/spaces inaccessible)
- limitations and observations regarding checks (non-invasive)
2) Findings by chapter
The report is structured into technical chapters, with clear observations and relevant photographs:
- visible structural elements (walls, ceilings, floors, cracks, deformations, risk areas)
- finishes (floors, skirting boards, joints, carpentry, window sills, seals)
- signs of moisture/infiltration (cold areas, mold, infiltration on terraces, bathrooms, exterior walls)
- accessible installations (electrical, sanitary, thermal - as applicable, within the limits of access)
- exterior elements (facade, plinth, terraces/balconies, roof - when accessible)
3) Photographs and documentation
- photographs for each relevant finding
- markings/observations associated with the images
- identification of areas requiring further verification
4) Prioritizing issues (guideline)
To assist in decision-making, issues are grouped by priority level:
- Critical – risk or requires immediate action
- Important – to be addressed in the short/medium term
- Recommended – maintenance, optimization, monitoring
5) Technical recommendations and next steps
- indicative solutions and recommended remedial measures
- specialist recommendation (e.g., licensed electrician, plumber, additional checks)
- useful observations for budgeting, planning, and implementation
6) Conclusion for decision
- short, clear summary: what is okay, what needs attention, what may generate costs
- useful points for negotiation (where applicable)
- recommendations for action before signing/acceptance
A sample report shows you specifically:
- the actual level of detail and presentation style
- the type of photos and how the findings are explained
- how risk is prioritized and what recommendations you receive
- whether the deliverable helps you make an informed decision
For an objective assessment of the technical condition of the property before purchase, you can schedule a technical inspection carried out by the Home Planning team.
The inspection and report are non-invasive and based on elements that are visible and accessible at the time of the visit.
The report does not replace:
- specialized technical expertise (when necessary)
- destructive/laboratory investigations
- bank valuation (market value)
If you are in the purchasing or receiving stage and want an objective technical assessment, schedule the inspection and receive the complete report according to the structure above.
