## Routine and scheduled property inspections

Property inspections for owners who are away from the Silver Coast - weekly, monthly, quarterly, or event-driven visits with clear condition reports. Less detailed than full inventories, but ideal for ongoing oversight, security, and maintenance awareness.

- Routine, enhanced, and seasonal inspection templates
- Weekly, monthly, quarterly, or ad hoc scheduling
- Pre-arrival, post-departure, and storm checks when needed
- Coordinated from Caldas da Rainha across the West Coast
- Pair with maintenance, cleaning, and inventory services

## Oversight without a full inventory every visit

Property inspections answer a simple question: is the home secure, maintained, and presenting as expected while you are not there? They are shorter than inventories and suited to recurring schedules or one-off events.

Owners on the Silver Coast often split time between Portugal and another country. Regular inspections reduce surprises - blocked gutters, storm damage, pool issues, or signs of unauthorised access - before they become expensive repairs.

AB House uses consistent report structures so you can compare visits over time. When a full contents record is needed, book a property inventory separately at move-in or move-out.

## Inspection types we coordinate

One inspection platform with templates matched to how your property is used.

### Routine property inspection

General condition and security check - typically monthly for owner-absent homes.

### Enhanced property inspection

More detailed review of interior, exterior, pool, and garden - monthly or quarterly.

### Twice-monthly property check

More frequent oversight when you want extra reassurance between longer gaps.

### Pre-arrival and post-departure

Confirm readiness before owners or guests arrive, or review condition after occupants leave.

### Bad weather and storm inspections

Event-driven visits after heavy rain, wind, or storms to check roofs, drainage, and water ingress.

### Maintenance follow-up

Verify that agreed repairs or contractor work has been completed satisfactorily.

### Seasonal inspections

Prepare the property for summer or winter - irrigation, pool, shutters, and weatherproofing checks.

### Client-requested and emergency visits

Ad hoc inspections when you need eyes on site after an alarm, leak, power issue, or specific concern.

## Property inspection FAQ

**How often should I book inspections?**

Many absent owners choose monthly or quarterly routine visits. Coastal properties, pools, and gardens may need more frequent checks in winter or after storms. We help you choose a proportionate schedule.

**What is the difference between an inspection and an inventory?**

Inventories are detailed contents and condition records, usually at tenancy changeovers. Inspections are shorter, repeatable visits focused on overall condition, security, and maintenance - ideal for weekly, monthly, or quarterly schedules.

**Can inspections lead to maintenance work?**

Yes. Reports can flag recommended actions. You approve next steps according to your instructions. Emergency issues can be escalated via our 24/7 line where appropriate.

**Which areas do you cover?**

We are based in Caldas da Rainha and work across the Silver Coast, including Óbidos, Peniche, Foz do Arelho, Nazaré, São Martinho do Porto, Alcobaça, Lourinhã, and nearby locations. Contact us if you are unsure about your area.
