Home checks in CyprusCheck the home before you pay.

We check the home you want to buy, or your new home before the keys, anywhere in the Republic of Cyprus. You get a written report with photos. Pay at checkout, online or by bank transfer.

A professional property consultant and condition surveyor inspects the home and signs the report. The report names the inspector.

For a structural opinion or a check against the approved drawings, add an ETEK-registered civil engineer or architect to the same order. ETEK is the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber. The engineer or architect does and signs their service in their own name.

Not tested

The report says what it couldn’t check.

Water wasn’t connected, so taps, drains and toilets couldn’t be tested. The re-check covers them.

Floor tiles: blue tape beside an open grout gap — Grout gap in floor tilesSeen in 11 areas. **Likely:** in bathrooms, open joints can let water behind the tiles. The blue tape marks the open joint.

Questions

For anything else, call or message Etimo bookings: +357 9791 6892.

How soon can you come?: You pick up to three dates. Visits are on Monday to Saturday; the earliest is 3 working days from today. We confirm one date with you.
Who repairs what the report finds?: You decide. Your report is finished and yours before anyone talks about repairs. If you want a repair price, ask after the report. We send your report to the repair teams Etimo works with only with your separate OK. On a new-build, the developer fixes the list, and we don’t quote.
Can I add an ETEK engineer?: Yes, when you request the check. An ETEK-registered civil engineer can give a structural opinion on the visible structure. With a handover check, an ETEK-registered civil engineer or architect can also compare your home with the approved drawings. They do and sign these services in their own name. ETEK is the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber. Our inspector is not a civil engineer and does not judge structure.
Where do you check homes?: Anywhere in the Republic of Cyprus: Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and the free area of Famagusta. Not the north of the island.

Pick up to three dates.

Pay at checkout, online or by bank transfer.
