Who it's for
If you're about to sign, this is for you.
یہ سروس کس کے لیے ہے
Buying a used house
Years of leaks, patch-ups and DIY wiring hide behind fresh paint. We find what the last owner lived with, so you don't pay for it twice.
Buying a new build
New doesn't mean done right. Houses built to sell can hide hollow tiles, poor waterproofing and shortcuts in the wiring. Check before you take possession.
Buying from abroad
Can't be there in person? Watch the inspection live on a video call, then get the report by email or WhatsApp.
What we check
Seven systems. One report.

Engineer’s verdict
The structure is intact, but the house is not ready to move into. We advised the client to negotiate the price down to cover the repairs before completing the purchase.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us
عام سوالات
How much does a home inspection cost?
It depends on the size of the property, the type of building and the city. Send us the details on WhatsApp and we'll give you the exact price before you book.
When should I get the inspection?
Before you pay the token money (bayana) if you can, and at the latest before the final payment and transfer. That's when the report gives you the most room to negotiate.
Do I need the seller's permission?
Yes. We need access to the property, so arrange a time with the seller or agent, or share their number and we'll coordinate. A seller who refuses an inspection is telling you something too.
Will you break walls or drill holes?
No. We use non-destructive methods (visual checks, tapping tests and damp assessment), so the property isn't damaged.
Do you inspect flats, shops and commercial buildings?
Yes. We inspect houses, flats and shops, as well as commercial, educational and industrial buildings.
I live abroad. Can I still use the service?
Yes. Join the inspection live on a WhatsApp video call, then receive the full report with photos digitally.
What's the difference between the report and a stability certificate?
The report lists every defect, how serious it is and how to fix it. The certificate is a formal statement, signed by our engineers, that the load-bearing structure is sound.
