When to inspect a newly built home
Before signing for the handover of the keys
It is the ideal time to detect defects and demand that they are put right before you accept the home, avoiding delays and problems later on, once you have moved in.
Within the developer’s warranty period
If you have already received the home, there is still time. The inspection lets you claim defects covered by the developer’s legal warranty (1 year for finishes, 3 years for habitability, 10 years for the structure).
Why choose Hausum for your new home
We support you with a technical team of expert architects who defend your interests and yours alone.
A clear technical report to support your claims
We deliver a professional, easy-to-understand report with technical backing, designed to make formal claims and dealings with the builder easier.
Save on future costs from day one
Detecting problems in time avoids costly repairs, hidden damp and future building work. A small investment today saves you thousands of euros tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions about new home inspections
Is an inspection of a new home compulsory?
An independent inspection carried out by a chartered architect protects your interests as a buyer and lets you check that the home is handed over in optimal condition before you sign for the keys or within the warranty period.
Which defects can be claimed after a new home inspection?
- Defects in finishes: floors, tiling, paintwork, joinery or sealing.
- Damp, leaks and condensation.
- Thermal and acoustic insulation problems.
- Thermal bridges and shortcomings in energy efficiency.
- Faults in the electrical, plumbing, drainage or gas installations.
- Failure to comply with the project or with current technical regulations.
Does a new home inspection replace the developer’s warranty?
The warranty exists, but without a professional inspection many defects go unnoticed until the deadline for claiming them has passed. With the Hausum inspection you have an objective, detailed technical report that lets you identify problems in time and exercise your rights with greater confidence and technical backing.
