Independent technical inspection
Independent inspection of defects in homes, commercial units and hotels.
Costa Blanca and all of Spain.
Buying property in a country that isn't yours shouldn't mean buying blind. Know the real condition before you sign: wiring, plumbing, structure and damp — checked with a thermal camera by an independent technician.
Most properties hide defects that can't be seen with the naked eye — in homes, commercial units and hotels alike.
Beyond buying a home
When does an inspection make sense?
Not just homes. These are the moments we're asked for most.
Buying remotely
Photo and video report for buyers who can't visit the property in person.
New-build handover
Check the property before signing the handover certificate, while the builder's warranty is active.
Before selling
Find and fix defects before the buyer does — and justify your price.
Before the warranty expires
In time to claim defects from the builder before the legal deadline runs out.
Commercial units, offices & hotels
Before renting, buying or opening a business, know the real condition of the space.
Splitting an inheritance
An independent assessment as an objective reference between heirs.
Buying at a judicial auction
Inspection right after taking possession, when a prior visit wasn't possible.
Before renting it out
Know what to fix before listing the property for rent.
Why inspect
Three reasons not to buy blind
No conflict of interest
We don't work for the agency or the seller. Our only client is you — not the person selling the property.
Real negotiating leverage
A technical report in hand beats an opinion: it helps you ask for a real price cut or repairs before signing.
Report within 48 hours
Visit, thermal camera and full photo report — in time to not lose the property or sign blind.

How we do it
What each tool can see
Not opinion — measurement.
Sees temperature differences
Damp cools as it evaporates, so it shows as a cold patch on the thermal image even if the wall feels dry.
It also reveals thermal bridges and pipes hidden inside the wall.
Measures moisture inside
Two electrodes measure the % moisture inside the material itself, not just the surface.
Above a certain level, the risk of mould or rot rises sharply.
Confirms it's safe
Checks real earthing, correct polarity, and RCD trip time.
Many older properties are 'rewired' visually but without a functional earth.
Precision, not opinion
We measure down to the last millimetre
Every finding in the report is measured and photographed — not a general impression, but a verifiable fact.
Behind the inspection
The same experience that renovates homes, now working for you
Seymedioz has spent years renovating and assessing properties across the Costa Blanca. We know where to look — because we've repaired it ourselves.

What we found, before they signed
"We were about to buy a freshly painted penthouse. The thermal camera found roof damp that would have cost us thousands."
"The report was my best argument: we knocked €4,500 off after showing electrical faults we'd never have spotted ourselves."
"We were about to lease a unit for a restaurant. The inspection found wiring that didn't meet code — we renegotiated the terms before signing."
"As an agency, we now recommend the inspection to our buyers. It builds trust and speeds up the sale."

FAQ
Before you decide
Does the report hold weight when negotiating?
Yes. It's a document with photos, measurements and specific findings — an objective argument against a verbal opinion.
Do you also inspect commercial units, offices or hotels?
Yes. We adapt the scope to the type of property — installations, emergency exits and systems specific to commercial or hotel use. Message us with the details for a quote.
How is it different from the bank's valuation?
The valuation calculates value for the mortgage; it doesn't check systems or look for hidden defects. Our inspection reviews the real condition to protect the buyer.
How long does the visit take, and when do I get the report?
The visit takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on size. The report is delivered within 48 hours.
Do you cover all of Spain?
Yes. We're based in the Costa Blanca, and we coordinate visits in any province of Spain.
Can I also request the renovation quote?
Yes, as a separate service. And if you renovate with us afterwards, the cost is deducted from the project.
