Don Aluminio Building & Reformation carry out property surveys see link below for recommendation.  They are not expensive when you consider what you are paying out you could also use the report to negotiate a better deal if any faults are found.

Hi

Maybe a bit late for this comment but we bought in January 2016 outright. 

There was no way we would spend £200k without a professional survey and we used Bioarquitectura.  Cost was about 435 Euro for a Full Structural Survey with the report in English.

Thanks that’s really helpful 

We’re the same buying outright £300000 I think it would be insane not to have a survey done at least if something goes wrong you’ve got some kind of recourse 

Seems like we’re in the minority thinking this way?

Thanks for the recommendation drew

We had a survey done. It cost 500 Euros. We received a written report and a video report, narrated in English. 

The report was done by (the equivalent of) a Chartered Surveyor. It declared the house sound, and provided insurance cover in the event of structural failure.

The estate agent selling the house was neither surprised nor obstructive. Our survey was written into our purchase contract. We had the option to recover our deposit in the event of an adverse survey report. 

Not all houses have single skin construction. Some single skin structures suffer from condensation. 

If you feel uncomfortable without a survey, insist on one.  

Hi Im in the process of purchasing a property in Costa Blanca, do you have the details of the surveyor please, Regards John
