Property inspection checklist
A consistent check. A useful record. A clear next action.
The checklist is adapted to each home, but the principle remains the same: observe systematically, record condition and make any concern easy to understand from abroad.
GUARDEMAR
A visual, non-invasive condition check designed for continuity — not a technical certification.
What the status means
GOOD records no visible concern at the time of the visit. ATTENTION identifies a change or issue that should be reviewed. URGENT indicates prompt owner contact and appropriate action where safe and authorised.

Important scope note
Guardemar inspections are visual, non-invasive and condition-based. They do not replace technical surveys, specialist maintenance or structural, electrical, plumbing, pool or engineering certification, and cannot guarantee detection of concealed defects.
From checklist to action
The owner receives evidence, not a vague reassurance.
A report records the property status, category findings, photographs, observations and recommended action after the visit.
