Property Inspections and Snagging Costa del Sol
Inspections need to be thorough, every time, anybody can tick a box and run, but you have to know what you''re looking for, and where to look, we offer this service to our management clients as part of our contract with them, this also includes extra inspections in adverse weather conditons.
Experience counts here, you won''t know where to look for the onset of damp in an apartment 
or villa in spain,if you don''t know the specific things that you''re meant to be looking for, and where the signs may be hiding. Low or high, what type of damp is it, is this particular property more likely to suffer from a rising water table and flooding or are there other factors? (Of which there are many) Of course it''s not only damp you need to look for, gas, water boilers and electrics, doors, windows and patios, what about shutters, did your guest leave a shutter half up or broken and can you repair it and make the house safe again, (we can), or did they leave a slightly running toilet, without management and inspection a toilet can run 6 to 9 months till you return, and that''s quite a bill, enough to have nearly paid for management in fact! Every year we hear people say they don''t need management, and every year people join us after a bad experience and wish they had joined before.
Snagging is the same as inspections, only more so, when you set about producing a snagging list for someone who has purchased a new home on the Costa del Sol, we offer this service for new properties from Calahonda to Puerto Banus experience really counts. To do an inspection on anything, no matter what it is, you are setting yourself up as an authority on that particular thing, and if you have no working knowledge about how it is made, what it is made of, where it fits into the surrounding parts, and what makes a 100% perfect part, you don''t know what the defects are, you can''t say it''s perfect, if you don''t know what perfect is. We do the same repairs and installations for other people, of just about every type, so we know even better when it''s wrong, because very often we get to put it right for them.
People who may have been here a while will eagerly offer opinions on wha.JPG "Water dripping through a light")
t to look for with defects, because some of them are as plain as the nose on your face, and some things they discovered after they had lived with a defect 6 months and "just realised," but if you have paid for a snagging list, you should pretty well know everything there is to know before moving in, except in cases where essential supplies are not connected, or limited access has been given by a builder.
You should be confident that a definitive list can be passed to the builder or promoter to sort on your behalf, knowing that we know what we''re talking about, so if you are purhcasing an apartment,townhouse or villa from Calahonda to Puerto Banus, contact seabreeze and Blue Sky to do your snagging list.
