Why hire a property expert before buying a home in Luxembourg?

Introduction: a major investment, real risks

Buying a property in Luxembourg is a significant investment. With high prices, market pressure and technical challenges, one bad decision can have costly consequences. Many buyers, hoping to save time or money, skip the step of hiring an independent expert.

Yet, involving a property surveyor before purchase helps secure the transaction by detecting hidden — or sometimes concealed — issues.

The risks of buying without a professional survey

Even if a property appears to be in good condition, it may hide technical or legal issues: dampness, structural defects, non-compliance, previous damage or misleading reports.

Without expert guidance, buyers risk:

• Overpaying for the property
  
  
• Expensive unexpected repairs
  
  
• Difficult resale prospects
  
  
• Legal disputes after the sale
  

Hiring an expert turns a risky purchase into an informed decision.

What does a property expert check before you buy?

At Expertise Fernandes, we provide a comprehensive and impartial assessment of the property you plan to buy:

• Technical inspection: structure, roof, facades, frames, humidity, electrical systems, heating
  
  
• Urban planning compliance: permits, local regulations, alignment with approved plans
  
  
• Accurate valuation: comparison with market rates and technical value
  
  
• Problem detection: flaws, construction issues, hidden defects that could affect long-term value
  

You receive a clear, detailed report, designed to help you negotiate or reassess your purchase with confidence.

A real example: what our expertise revealed

• Lack of proper insulation
  
  
• Partially damaged roof not visible from the inside

Result: over €30,000 negotiated off the asking price and work planned upfront.
