ImmoCheck | Independent Technical Property Inspection

Information about the ImmoCheck visual technical inspection

The ImmoCheck inspection provides a clear, independent, and structured assessment of the real condition of a property before purchase. Carried out by an experienced architect, it helps identify key elements, anticipate technical questions, and strengthen trust between the parties.

The analysis covers more than fifty elements, always factually and within the limits of a non‑destructive visual inspection. The points examined include (depending on the case):

• Urban planning and administrative compliance
• Energy performance and building envelope
• Structure and potential defects
• Roof, framework, and waterproofing
• Exterior joinery and glazing
• Interior finishes and coatings
• Technical installations: electricity, heating, ventilation, sanitary
• Targeted remarks from the architect‑inspector, where applicable

The report provided to the client is presented in a clear and structured way, with a hierarchy of findings that makes it easy to understand key points, potential risks, and elements to monitor. The goal is to offer a realistic and comprehensible view of the property, enabling a confident and well‑informed purchase decision.

Does the inspection detect all defects

The analysis is visual and non‑destructive: it identifies visible issues, potential risks, and inconsistencies, but does not replace invasive tests or specialised assessments (radon, asbestos, thermal imaging, etc.).

Do I need to be present during the visit
