Property Inspection & Snagging on the Costa Blanca
Straight technical advice from Reinhard Schäppi, Swiss site manager, in Spain since 1997.
I inspect villas, reforms and pools on the Costa Blanca for people who are about to buy, take over or build. I tell you what I see, what it is likely to cost to put right, and what to ask before you sign. In plain language, with photos.

Good to know
This service is technical advice based on a visual inspection. It does not replace an architect's report, an engineer's assessment, legal advice or an official inspection. Cost figures are guidance only and are not a quotation. Please obtain at least two quotes from contractors for any work.
Legal matters such as the purchase contract, land registry and taxes should be handled by your lawyer or gestor. If you need a formal technical report, I can call our architect.
