The inspection that should have come first.
For Portuguese buyers who knew the system, this was already alarming. For foreign buyers completing purchases remotely, on short visits, without a local network and in a second language, it became a serious and almost invisible risk.
InspectOS was created to respond directly to that gap.
The founding team worked for years in the Portuguese property market and saw the same pattern repeat: buyers fell for an apartment in Lisbon or a villa in the Algarve, signed the CPCV and only found the problems (unlicensed works, compromised gas installations, damp behind freshly painted walls, illegal terraces) after the keys were handed over.
Disputes, legal costs, expensive repairs. Transactions that should have been simple turned into years of stress.
The answer was a company able to send independent engineers to any property in Portugal within days, produce a complete and honest bilingual report, and do it fast enough to protect buyers before the deposit.
InspectOS was founded with that single purpose: to give every buyer, wherever they are and however familiar they are with Portuguese regulation, the same quality of independent assessment a local expert would demand for themselves.
The 1951 Regulamento Geral das Edificações Urbanas (RGEU) is due to be replaced by a new Construction Code; no date has been confirmed.
That is what InspectOS keeps doing, and that is what matters.
