Our inspection methodology covers the seven areas that most commonly hide problems in used residential properties. Here's exactly what we evaluate and why each area matters.
The structural system is the skeleton of the property. Problems here are typically the most expensive to address and can affect the safety and long-term viability of the building.
In Paraguay's climate, with intense summer rains and temperature extremes, the roof is one of the areas most prone to deterioration. An active leak can cause damage that extends far beyond the roof itself.
Outdated or improperly installed electrical systems are a common source of hidden costs — and potential hazards. Many older properties in Paraguay have electrical infrastructure that hasn't kept pace with modern appliance loads.
Water supply and drainage issues can be among the most disruptive to daily life and the most expensive to repair when they involve concealed pipes. We evaluate what is visible and accessible.
Doors, windows, and built-in elements are often the first to show signs of humidity damage or poor installation. Warped frames, sticking doors, and damaged window seals are common indicators of underlying moisture problems.
Wall and foundation condition tells a complex story about the property's history. Rising damp, efflorescence, and specific crack patterns can indicate issues with drainage, foundation movement, or construction quality.
The inspection report is structured to be immediately useful — both for understanding the property's condition and for use in negotiations.
Each of the seven inspection areas receives a green, yellow, or red rating. At a glance, you understand which areas are clear, which need attention, and which represent significant costs.
Each rating is accompanied by written notes explaining what was observed, where it was found, and why it received its rating. Technical findings are explained in accessible language.
Where findings warrant documentation, the report includes photographs of specific issues. These images provide a verifiable record and facilitate communication with contractors or legal advisors.
