Before accepting the keys to your new property, let OHI carry out a comprehensive pre-handover inspection. Our experienced engineers thoroughly assess workmanship, finishes, building systems, and waterproofing, identifying any defects before settlement. You'll receive a detailed photographic report that helps you request repairs under the developer's warranty while issues can still be addressed quickly and effectively.
The responsibility for checking the property's legal and technical status is no longer handled by the notary—it now falls to the buyer.
Until 2024, the habitation licence was typically verified as part of the property transfer process. With the introduction of the Simplex Urbanístico (DL 10/2024), that requirement was removed. As a result, buyers are expected to carry out their own due diligence before completing the purchase.
A professional, independent property inspection can reveal hidden defects, unauthorized alterations, and potential compliance issues before you commit, helping you avoid unexpected costs and make a well-informed decision.
