Property inspection prices
Four packages, each with a fixed price that depends on the type of property and its usable floor area (suprafață utilă). No subscriptions and no costs added after the inspection.
The short answer
A property inspection costs between 1,399 and 4,599 lei (≈ €269-€859) for an apartment and between 1,899 and 6,699 lei (≈ €359-€1,259) for a house, depending on the package and the usable floor area. These are final amounts: the company is not registered for VAT, so nothing is added. The PDF report is delivered within 24 hours with every package.
Prices by package, property type and floor area
The price depends on the type of property and on its usable floor area, the area stated in the property documents. The larger the area, the more time on site and the longer the report, whatever the package.

The contract price is in lei. The amount in euro is indicative, calculated at €1 = 5.35 lei.
Apartments, by number of rooms (indicative)
The price is set by the usable floor area in the documents; the number of rooms helps you find the band. In Romania, the room count includes the living room, so a 2-room flat has one bedroom. A 2-room flat can be under 50 m² or over 75 m², so the table shows the price from the smallest to the largest possible band.

What each package includes
The packages are cumulative: each one includes everything in the previous one.
SNAGGING (HANDOVER), from 1,399 lei
Finding workmanship defects when you take over a new property from the developer. Details on the new-build snagging page.
- Architectural checks: finishes, flatness, verticality, joinery
- Plumbing and drainage checks
- Electrical installation checks
- List of required repairs
- Technical recommendations for every finding
- Advice for dealing with the developer's warranty department
- PDF report within 24 hours
BASIC, from 1,999 lei
Full pre-purchase inspection, with thermal imaging.
- Everything in the SNAGGING (HANDOVER) package
- Review of the technical documentation
- Professional thermal imaging (thermography)
- Thermal bridge check

PLUS, from 2,799 lei
Advanced: structure, terraces, loft, basement and facade.

The structural assessment is non-destructive and covers the accessible elements. It is not a technical expertise (expertiză tehnică) and does not replace one: an expertise can only be issued by a technical expert certified by the ministry (MDLPA).
PREMIUM, from 3,499 lei
Complete, with a cost estimate and market advice.
- Everything in the PLUS package
- Bills of quantities and cost estimate
- Schedule of works for the repairs
- Advice on the property price compared with the market
Urgent: report in 3 hours
If you need the report in 3 hours instead of 24, a fixed surcharge of 700 lei (≈ €139) is added, with any package. It applies only if you ask for it explicitly.
Re-inspection after repairs
Once the developer or contractor has fixed the defects in the report, we check every item, one by one, and you receive its status, with photos and measured values, within 24 hours. It costs 50% of the original package price, from 699 lei; a PREMIUM report is re-inspected at the PLUS price. Prices and conditions are on the re-inspection after repairs page.
Travel
In Bucharest and Ilfov, travel is included in the price, whatever the package. We travel across Romania with every package; outside Bucharest and Ilfov, the travel fee depends on the distance and is communicated before the inspection is booked.
Payment
A deposit of 500 lei is paid when the contract is signed, with an advance invoice (factură de avans). The deposit locks the price for 12 months. The balance is paid at the end of the inspection, in cash or by card, and the deposit is deducted from the total.
Report and communication in English
The report is delivered in Romanian or in English, whichever you choose. We communicate in English in writing, on WhatsApp and by email.
Why prices differ between companies
The price difference between two inspections usually comes from three concrete things:
- The instruments used on site. A check without measuring instruments produces impressions, not data. Thermal imaging also needs the right conditions, not just the camera.
- Time on site and time spent interpreting. Every room checked carefully, every crack documented with its position and size and every thermal image analysed takes time.
- How thorough the report is. A report with photos, the exact location of each problem, measured values and stated limits is not the same thing as a generic template.
A very low price is not necessarily a scam; it may be a service reduced to a single component. The problem arises when it is presented as the equivalent of a full inspection. The right question before paying is not how much it costs, but which instruments are used and what the final report contains. The structure of our report is public, in the sample report.
