I highly recommend contracting Thomas if you have bought a property on the Costa del Sol, and have him inspect your property before signing the deed.

What is included in a property inspection?
A property inspection covers structure, systems, moisture, and safety checks. It helps identify hidden defects before buying, renting, or renovating. This ensures informed decisions and protects your investment by revealing costly issues early.
Why is a property inspection important in Costa del Sol?
Costa del Sol homes may have weather-related damage or outdated systems. A professional inspection reveals potential problems before purchase. It safeguards your investment, improves negotiation power, and ensures the property meets your expectations and local standards.
When should I book a property inspection?
It’s best to schedule your inspection before signing a purchase contract. Early detection of defects lets you renegotiate, request repairs, or cancel if needed. Also, consider inspections before renting or beginning major renovations.
What is a snagging report and when is it used?
A snagging report lists construction issues in new or renovated homes. It’s usually done before final handover, allowing contractors to fix problems. This ensures your property is delivered in top condition, avoiding future repair costs.
How much does a snagging report cost?
Costs depend on property size and complexity. Typically, it’s a small price compared to fixing post-handover defects. We offer tailored quotes with transparent pricing, helping you avoid surprises and protect your budget from unexpected repairs.
Is a snagging report necessary for a new build?
Yes, new builds can have defects too. A snagging report provides a detailed checklist of flaws, from cosmetic to structural. It gives you leverage to request repairs before accepting delivery or making final payments to developers.
