Algarve
A specialist visits your site in Algarve on a fixed protocol. We check what they recorded against your contract and your payment schedule, and you get the report in your account, in your language, with the photographs.

Fewer than seven reports left before handover? Single reports work out better. We will say so.
The standard slot is 5 days out. Sooner is a published surcharge, not a favour.

Handover in Portugal is a defined procedure with a name: the vistoria, a joint walk-through with the developer at which the property is accepted and the keys change hands. Industry sources note that buyers often bring an independent specialist to it, particularly when they are abroad as the build completes.
New builds carry a five-year statutory construction warranty, set by law and separate from anything in your contract. Knowing what is still covered by it is the difference between a defect you pay for and one you do not.

Snagging
The defect walk-through buyers know by name: moisture meter, thermal imaging, electrics, plumbing and ventilation, room by room. It reaches you as a section of your report rather than a separate file.
The exact figure depends on the property. Give us its size and address when you order, and we will name the price before you pay.
One price per district
Once a month somebody goes to the site and takes three photographs. We compare them with last month's and send you the list of what changed.

Type and size do not change it. Charged by the month, one visit at a time.
