Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Imovelcheck property reports
A property check includes ownership history verification, legal charges and liens review, urbanistic and zoning compliance, price context analysis compared to recent market transactions, and condominium financial health assessment (when applicable). All information is sourced from public records and verified datasets.
Imovelcheck focuses on risk identification and contextual analysis before you commit to a purchase, not on determining precise market value. We highlight red flags, pricing anomalies, legal restrictions, and ownership issues that may require further investigation. Professional appraisals focus on establishing current market value for financing purposes.
Ideally before making an offer or signing a promissory contract. Early verification helps you negotiate from a position of knowledge, avoid properties with hidden complications, and save time on due diligence. It's most valuable when decisions are still reversible.
Reports are generated automatically and typically ready within minutes of ordering. You'll receive an email with your complete report as soon as it's done. Complex properties with extensive documentation may take slightly longer to process.
Currently, Imovelcheck only covers properties in Portugal. Our data sources, legal framework understanding, and verification processes are specific to the Portuguese property market and public registry systems.
The report highlights concerns clearly, distinguishing between minor clarifications and material risks. You can use this information to renegotiate price, request seller clarification, seek professional legal or technical advice, or reconsider the purchase entirely. The goal is to surface issues while you still have decision-making power.
No. Imovelcheck is completely independent from real estate agencies, sellers, developers, and lenders. Our only objective is to provide buyers with verified information and objective analysis to support informed decisions.
Yes. Property checks can be useful for understanding renovation restrictions, verifying legal compliance before selling, or clarifying ownership and financial status inherited through family transfers. The same verification processes apply.
