InspectaHomeSpain Answers the Most Commonly Asked Questions on Completions and Snagging Inspections for Property in Spain

Author: Roy Howitt, Managing Director of InspectaHomeSpain.

In response to customer demands InspectaHomeSpain, a company that specialises in new property inspections, creation of professional snagging reports, and the management of the process, have produced a series of free guides to help the buyer understand the completion process and operates independently of any agent, builder, promoter or lawyer.

Commenting on the guides, Roy Howitt explained that, since InspectahomeSpain started trading in Spain 4 years ago, "We have inspected more than 1,500 properties in Spain, built by more than 300 different builders and have gained a great deal of practical experience on how best to deal with Spanish developers and resolve issues, and the guides contain practical common sense advice based on real life experience."

InspectaHomeSpain already provides free help and information to new property buyers via the website www.inspectahomespain.com and have found that not everybody is aware of their consumer rights in Spain and, although information is available on various websites, these guides aim to provide a single source of information for new property buyers in Spain.

The guides include specialised publications for buyers on golf resorts including Polaris World, La Tercia, RODA Golf, Sierra Golf, Serena Golf and La Finca but the information will be useful to new buyers.

InspectahomeSpain also work to lobby local authorities for improvement and enforcement of building regulations and for people that want to carry out their own snagging inspections the DIY guide and checklist is invaluable as it gives you a good idea of what common defects to look for.
