Onesta Building Advice and hidden defects:
The expert engineer examines and analyzes the deficiencies identified by the buyer and determines the extent of these on the operation of the building, the safety of the occupants and the enjoyment of the premises.
In addition, the engineer studies the documents provided by the client to verify whether these deficiencies were declared or not in the owner-seller's declaration.
Also, he must check if these deficiencies were mentioned in the pre-purchase report to make sure that the defects were not apparent.
In the event of a hidden defect, our consulting engineering firm offers the following services:
- An inspection to note the deficiencies discovered by the new owner.
- Analysis of the documents submitted by the buyer (declaration of the owner-seller, pre-purchase report, etc.).
- The professional opinion of the engineer concerning the deficiencies observed in the building under study.
- Writing a report including findings, observations and recommendations supported by photos and diagrams.
- Presence in court as an expert witness to support your claim.
