What Is a Technical Inspection of Real Estate?
Technical inspection is a set of engineering and diagnostic procedures aimed at assessing the actual technical condition of building structures, utility systems, and other elements of a property. The result is an official report or technical conclusion used for the following purposes:
-
registration of property ownership;
-
reconstruction or major repairs;
-
legalization of unauthorized construction;
-
preparation for sale or purchase;
-
confirmation of the building’s fitness for operation.
