Tout est clair avant de vous engager

Buying a property in Spain is a major investment; Hausum makes sure you buy with full confidence through our integrated team of Chartered Architects, Technical Architects & Property Lawyers (Hausum Legal). We send a chartered architect to inspect the property thoroughly and identify hidden defects, dampness or structural issues before you sign. Within 24 hours you receive a comprehensive report including repair cost estimates.

In Spain, the average age of resale homes is 43.5 years, and 60% were built without energy efficiency regulations. Our report protects you both before buying (to decide with confidence or negotiate the price) and after purchase (to claim hidden defects within 6 months on resale homes, or 1–3–10 year builder warranties on new builds).

100% of our technical team consists exclusively of licensed, chartered architects and technical architects with extensive experience in building pathology, structures and renovations.

We perform an exhaustive, 100% non-invasive inspection using professional diagnostic tools: thermal imaging cameras (for hidden leaks, damp and thermal bridges), digital hygrometers, electrical testers, and high-precision laser meters.

We cover almost all of Spain for residential properties, commercial premises and offices. Contact us via WhatsApp or info@hausum.com to confirm immediate availability in your area.
