Inspect the Property Before You Buy or Rent

Pictures and videos can make a property look perfect, but seeing it in person can reveal things you may not notice online.

Before making a decision, inspect important areas such as:

🏠 Walls, floors, ceilings, and roof 🚰 Plumbing and water supply ⚡ Electrical systems and lighting 🚪 Doors and windows 🚗 Parking and access roads 🔒 Security features 📶 Internet and network availability 💧 Drainage and waste management

For rental properties, also check the condition of the rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and shared areas.

If you're buying land, visit the actual location and confirm its boundaries and accessibility. Don't rely only on photos or descriptions.

Take your time during the inspection and ask questions about anything that concerns you. A proper inspection can help you avoid unexpected costs and make a more informed property decision.
