General building condition
Visible defects, maintenance level, structural signals, finishing quality and practical use.
Building inspection
Building inspection for property abroad
A home, apartment, villa or new-build property abroad can look good in photos, while technical issues only become clear through local inspection.
Technical attention
Technical inspection helps buyers understand what they are buying
BSP helps buyers decide which technical questions deserve attention before purchase, handover, renovation or furnishing decisions become difficult to change.
Local engineers, building surveyors, inspectors, contractors and specialists must assess condition, standards, risks, permits, repair costs, hidden defects and practical feasibility locally.

FAQ
Questions about technical inspection
Is building inspection mandatory?
That depends on country and situation. Even when not mandatory, inspection can help clarify technical risk.
Can BSP perform the inspection?
No. BSP does not perform technical inspections. Local building specialists or inspectors must do this.
Is inspection useful for new-build?
Yes. Delivery quality, specifications, installations, moisture, windows, doors and visible defects may still need review.
Does inspection remove all risk?
No. It reduces uncertainty, but cannot guarantee that no hidden or future issues exist.
