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.
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.
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.
Inspections for absent owners and active lets
Recurring visits complement inventories and cleaning rather than replacing them.
Long-term NRAU lets may need mid-tenancy inspections to spot maintenance issues early while respecting tenant rights and access rules.
Holiday lets and second homes often combine quarterly inspections with cleaning and laundry around bookings. Frequency depends on location, exposure, and how often the property is empty.
Construction and renovation projects can use site or handover inspections on a weekly schedule - speak with our team if you need project-stage templates.
Mix and match services
Inspections fit into wider property care.
Register your property once, then combine inspections with inventories at changeovers, reactive maintenance, cleaning, tenant liaison, or project oversight through the same portal.
Insurance, defects, and project inspections
Some visits need a specific brief.
Insurance or damage documentation, defect recording, contractor quality checks, and pre-works condition surveys can be requested with a clear scope in your service request. Our team will confirm what is included before the visit.

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.
