Who checks your home

Your inspector does the check and signs your report.

Etimo inspectorProfessional property consultant and condition surveyor

Checks finished homes before you buy or take the keys.

An Italian-trained interior designer with a Master's from Italy, our inspector looks closely at finishing quality and at hidden design flaws that cost the buyer money later, from resale homes to new-builds at handover. You get a condition report that says what to do first.

Languages: Reports in English.
What your inspector is not: The inspector is not a civil engineer or a valuer. They do not judge structure or value.
ETEK services on the same order: For a structural question, an ETEK-registered civil engineer can give a structural opinion on the same order. ETEK is the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber. Its registered civil engineers and architects do and sign their own services.

How we keep the check fair

Report firstRepairs only if you ask, after you have the report.
A works list for any builderEvery report ends with a works list: finding codes, places and what to do. Any builder can price it.
No repair quotes on new-build listsOn a new-build, the developer fixes the list. We don't quote repairs for it.
Your OK before data goes to a repair teamYour report goes to the repair teams only if you tick a box to ask for a quote. The box is never ticked for you.
An ETEK-registered civil engineer's second view, on requestFor an urgent finding, you can ask an ETEK-registered civil engineer to look.
