That Bali Villa
Looks Perfect.
But Is It Really?

A home inspection is a detailed checkup of a house to make sure it’s in good condition and safe to live in. Check out our inspection blog post to learn more. 

No home is perfect. Every home in Bali will likely have issues that should be addressed. These likely vary from small DIY projects, or can be severe safety issues that should be handled by a professional. The purpose of an inspection is to have a strong understanding of the property before you buy.

At this time, we offer home inspection services in Denpasar, Seminyak, Kerobokan, Canggu, Sanur, Nusa Dua, Bukit, Pecatu, Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian, and Uluwatu. Any other location may incur an extra fee.

Absolutely. Just put us in touch with your agent and we’ll organize a time to view the property. Please be advised, however, that we only visit a property with pre-payment.

Yes. We will inspect a property before you rent on behalf of both the renter and property owner so that both parties know the condition of the property before you move in.

We use a variety of tools to get a better view of your property. For example, Bali is a haven for moisture. So we use thermal imaging and moisture meters to look for leaks or moisture intrusion.

We do. Unlike in the US where people generally use central air conditioning, Bali homes generally use split mini AC units for zoned air conditioning. We check the indoor and outdoor units to look for refrigerant leaks. We check that the units are still in working condition and produce cool air. We also check the drain and refrigerant lines. 

Although home inspections don’t usually include an assessment of workmanship, we include any workmanship issues that we see. 

We present our findings to you in a comprehensive report that you can use to either negotiate a price reduction, or ask the seller to repair. Keep in mind, this step is entirely up to you, and often times you’ll find the seller isn’t interested to make any repairs. At the very least, you have a strong understanding of the current condition of the property. 

We aren’t geologists or civil engineers, however, we look for clues to determine if the structure of the house is sound or not. If we see anything that indicates past seismic action has caused structural damage to your home, we will recommend you to a civil engineer.

We stand by our ability to give you peace of mind, but houses are very complex systems and we are conducting a visual, non-invasive inspection. Therefore, its likely there will be things we cannot see that could be problematic. We will do our best to find them but we cannot guarantee we’ll catch everything. 

Absolutely. We offer annual maintenance inspections so you, as a home owner, always understands the current condition of the home. 

The main reason is that earning potential can be quite high. Having said that, it’s important to work with a reputable real estate agency and notary. We also implore you to get a home inspection – even if it isn’t with us. Don’t invest blindly in Bali property. 

No. A home inspection in Bali does not result in a pass or fail outcome. We provide an objective report of observed conditions so you can make an informed decision. We are a private, independent third party inspection service.

No. We are a private, independent third-party inspection company. We provide observations on conditions and defects, and general recommendations, but we do not enforce repairs or direct contractors. 

You can schedule an inspection:

• Before buying (pre-purchase)

• At handover from the developer

• Before warranty expiration

• As part of annual maintenance

No. We provide visual observations of structural conditions. For calculations, load analysis, or detailed structural review, we can refer an engineer to you.
