What what is worth knowing about technical inspections?

Principles technical acceptance

During the technical inspection, only authorised persons may be present in the flat, i.e. the developer, the owner and possibly a specialist in defect assessment. It is also worth knowing that the technical inspection of the flat only applies to the primary market. In addition, the contract does not always include a subsection about this possibility of inspection, so it is important to include it there if one prefers to be sure before receiving the keys.

During the technical acceptance, the final result of the flat's finishing is assessed, whether it meets the conditions set out in the contract, and if there are any defects, they are reported in the protocol. If the developer agrees to repair them, he must be given up to 30 days to do so. It should not be forgotten that technical acceptance and key acceptance are not related concepts. They should be distinguished.

When seek a specialist?

Assessing the finish of a dwelling requires a certain amount of construction knowledge to assess the condition of the rooms, installations or roof. If the future owner is not interested in construction and renovation work, he or she may not notice possible defects. In this case, it is worth using a specialist. With his knowledge, experience and professional tools, he will detect any imperfections that need to be corrected.

What's more, the emotions that come with viewing a flat do not help to keep a sober mind and make the assessment much more difficult. The services of a technical acceptance specialist are a cost that will quickly pay for itself. Sometimes it is better to pay the few hundred zloty, because you can save nerves and renovations on your own pocket, and these can amount up to several thousand.

Useful tools

It is worth being prepared for the technical acceptance of your flat. Sight and intuition alone are not enough. A prospectus, a flat plan and the right tools come in handy. It is advisable to be equipped with:

• Staff and spirit levels
• Strain gauge
• Angle bar
• Distance meter
• Moisture meter
• Pyrometer
• Voltage meter
• Thermal imaging cameras

Writing utensils, a notebook and a phone or camera will be useful for documenting faults.
